Could Freedom be the Ultimate Luxury in Travel?

Could Freedom be the Ultimate Luxury in Travel?

When you look at it from the outside, luxury is a world that is quite hard to define. But once on the inside, you discover that it is often made of unique sensations, more than expensive products. Which brings us to our question: Could traveling the world in a camper, free to do what you want, when you want, and able to go where you like, be the ultimate real luxury in travel? Let’s tackle the question.

Living in a Post-Pandemic World

This question might have had a completely different response, just two years ago. However, it would be foolish to think that things have gone back to the way they were. Anyone who has faced one of the overloaded European airports, lately, knows that you need to arm yourself with a lot of patience just to get to the plane. That is due to the fact that many people were laid off during the sanitary crisis, and many don’t want to go back to work in this environment, anymore. Just at the Frankfort Airport, there are 1,000 employees missing. That gives you a good idea of the delays you could face.

When you decide to hire a campervan instead, you know exactly when your vacation starts, and that is the moment you take it out of the parking lot. You won’t have to spend the two hours at the airport, plus the many minutes or hour to get to it. You will immediately embark on your adventure, to get to wherever it is that you want to go to. You’ll be free to stop in the town of your choice (providing there is a place to park the camper), and rest a little, before heading back on the road. No more hotel issues and worries about cleanliness and sanitary concerns. In a post-COVID world, that is one element that cannot be neglected.

Discovering New Parts of the World

That is probably the most important element of the freedom we were mentioning in the title of this article. When you travel by plane, from one point to another, you get to see what everybody else sees. When you take the road on a camper, you will discover regions in a completely new way. Because the world is not only made of tall buildings and concerts, it is also filled with nature and historical sites that are far from any major centers. Until you have discovered your first “private beach” that looks like Eden, can you really pretend to know the amazing sensation of lying under the sun, completely free of anything and anyone? Until you have walked over an ancient Roman site where only few went before you, can you really unite with the past in such a powerful way?

This is what luxury travel is all about: Feeling unique sensations that most people won’t ever get to share. It is also the capacity to do what you want, when you want and with whoever you desire. And there is no better way to enjoy all this then by heading out on the road in a camper for a little bit of travel.
