About us

We are the Avery family - in July 2019 we escaped the treadmill of modern life in the UK and set off on an adventure around Europe in our campervan. ⁣So far our travels have taken us over 10,000 miles through eight countries. We spent winter in the French Alps, fulfilling our dream of a family snowboard season, until Covid-19 happened and we found ourselves in lockdown. We've since resumed our travels and continued the search for sun, snow and a simple life.
