The Hawaiian island and tropical paradise of Oahu is best known for its beautiful beaches, warm blue waters, plethora of incredible hikes, stunning mountain landscapes, lush greenery, and vibrant surf culture. Now imagine: roaming the island in your own camper van rental… Waking up to the sounds of the ocean, setting up camp near the beach under a blanket of stars at night, and spending your days cruising around to one of Oahu’s incredible hikes, beaches, and surf spots - sound pretty nice? Then this guide is for you!
The reality of camper van vacations in Hawaii is that they can be a little tricky to navigate! The state has a strict law against sleeping in your vehicle and the island of Oahu has no state or county campsites open for car camping. BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t have an incredible camper van vacation! In fact, exploring Oahu in a campervan has been my absolute favorite way to experience the island. Which is exactly why I created this guide! To show you how to easily and LEGALLY plan a campervan vacation. With a little planning and preparation with the help of this guide, renting a camper van on Oahu can be an unforgettable adventure that allows you to see the island in a whole new way.
Here’s exactly what you can expect from my Oahu Camper Van Vacation guide 👇
This guide is the result of hours upon hours of planning, research, and my in-person experience (I’ve visited Oahu over 7 times now & have done this exact camper van vacation myself). It includes fun features such as an interactive map, directions that connect directly to your phone’s Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to some of my favorite activities, campervan rentals, camp sites, beaches, food spots, hiking trails, & more! This guide will focus on the North Shore and eastern coast of Oahu mainly with a bonus Waikiki mini-guide at the end!
The guide lays out instructions to help you plan your camper van vacation including:
1. Instructions and insider tips on how to legally plan your camper van vacation
2. 10+ camper van rental options with a variety of amenities to choose from including the exact van I used
3. 7 different campsite suggestions around the island that are set up specifically for camper vans (all come with bathrooms!!) including the place that I stayed (& loved!) during my own trip
4. Over a dozen of my favorite outdoor activities (including 7 hikes, 6 must-visit beaches, my favorite tours for swimming with wild dolphins and snorkeling with sharks, how to kayak or boat to the ocean sandbar, and surfboard lessons/rentals)
5. 10+ of my favorite island eateries
6. A mini-guide to Waikiki including my favorite hotels, food spots, and things to do
7. Educational resources & information on how to be a responsible traveler when visiting the islands of Hawaii
8. Direct hyperlinks to every resource you could need to book your trip
9. Behind the scenes exclusive photos and videos from me
Plus it’s mobile friendly when you download the Thatch App for free so you can easily access all of the info right from your phone!
I have hand-crafted this guide specifically for adventure travelers (like me!) and feel confident you will have an amazing trip with this guide by your side 😏 As a part of your purchase of the guide, here are a few promises I can make you:
1. This is a LIVING guide: I will update it as I find more information and discover more places which means you have lifetime access to all updated information as it’s added!
2. I only make guides based on areas I have not only been to, but know well! I include both activities that I have done myself as well as those that are on my bucketlist for next time I visit. I will always call out the ones I have not done yet and provide you the exact resources you need to experience them yourself!
3. These guides are completely transparent! You can be sure that all unfiltered opinions I provide are my own 🙃 If I include any sponsored information or affiliate links, I will be sure to call these out directly.

Needing some much needed quiet time or relaxation? Or do you need to forget your worries and connect to your adventurous side? You may NEED to travel just to get away. Just to feel free from this everyday craze called life. Here are some travel suggestions I like to dive into when I really want to connect on a holistic level.
This guide focuses on one of the most important things we as humans truly need in life, RELAXTION- Whether you have a tough job that is physically demanding or mentally stressful at times OR maybe you've been dealing with other social or environmental discomforts that have overwhelmed you. There could be a million reasons you are in a place of stress or exhaustion. However, you DO have the option to take a break and get away! Yes! Because you absolutely deserve some peace and relaxation!
So where do you go?
*SUGGESTION TRIP: A body of water! The ocean is a great place to start however studies show that just being near any flowing water can reduce cortisol levels within 30 seconds of arrival. So this doesn't have to be a fancy trip to Hawaii this can be any river, lake, ocean that is near you. Here are some great U.S. trip ideas.
My beach trip suggestion- CANNON BEACH, OREGON.
Not only are the towns surrounding quaint and adorable, the beach Itself has beautiful giant rock structures and plenty of walking beach space to unwind. Slow down and take some deep breaths while sitting in the sand listening to the waves. Im telling it won't disappoint!
-Check out my Cannon beach hotel recommendations below!
My lake suggestion- LAKE TAHOE, CALIFORNIA. Yes this can be quite a busy and touristy area, however the hiking around the lake is very peaceful and quiet and there are always places to get away from the crowds for some quiet time. The water can be very clear and blue with beautiful surrounding trees and forrest environment. This is a great place to walk off some stress and then spend some time by the clear waters to reflect.
-South Lake Tahoe hotel recommendations below!
My river suggestion- BIG THOMPSON RIVER, COLORADO. Running through beautiful Estes Park, the drive itself is absolutely breath taking. There are a ton of places just to pull off the road and be right on the river or to hike around. You may like to fish, hike or just sit and listen to the sound of the beautiful flowing river. The mountains surrounding will give you a great sense of peace and the serene river will have you relaxed within minutes.
-Hotel recommendations near Big Thompson river below!
Wherever you find yourself in nature, make sure to let go of your stressful thoughts from your everyday world and stop to be present within the beauty around you. Take some deep breaths and let your soul lead the way. Know that as stressful as life can be there is always natural beauty all around you and you always deserve a break...
If you feel like sharing, email me and let me know if you make it to any of these beautiful destinations recommended. Id love to hear any positive experiences you had:)

Colombo might seem like just another chaotic city, but trust me, it's got way more to offer than just traffic jams and busy streets. For the backpacker or solo traveler, Colombo is a treasure hunt with some seriously cool finds.
First off, ditch the idea that the streets are busy. They’re alive! And let me tell you that weekends aren't busy at all!! Wandering around, you’ll stumble upon colorful markets, like Pettah, where you can get lost in a maze of spices, trinkets, and random bargains. It's chaotic, but in the best way possible, perfect for snapping some gritty, authentic travel photos.
If you’re into history, Colombo's got you covered. Check out the colonial vibes at Independence Square or the old Dutch Hospital, now buzzing with cafes and shops. And don’t miss Gangaramaya Temple, it's a mashup of all things Buddhist with a side of quirkiness.
When you need to catch your breath, hit up Galle Face Green. Grab some street food (isso wade is a must-try), find a spot on the grass, and watch the sunset over the ocean. It’s one of those moments that makes all the hustle worth it. Oh maybe hope on a train to watch the sunset while moving.
The best part? Colombo’s a city where you can easily blend in, do your own thing, and still find surprises around every corner. So yeah, it’s worth a stop but it could also be your least favorite city!!? Anyhoo, add these spots to your Google Map, and you’re set for an awesome urban exploration!
This itinerary is completely free for you and if you feel my work has made your journey special, you’re welcome to leave a tip, but no pressure at all!

South Africa is a multifaceted country filled with magical outdoor adventures that dreams are made of. In this stunning part of the world, you can feel the rush of adrenaline while coming face to face with lions, sleep under the stars in the “bush”, acquaint yourself with local cultures, & experience fabulous weather & history-rich locations along the way.
In 2019, I made my first trip to South Africa. It had been a dream of mine to visit the rainbow nation since I was a child & SA didn’t dissappoint. I immediately fell in love with the country from the people to the landscapes I felt that I was suppose to be there.
I remember traveling into Cape Town by car from the garden route for the first time, with the sun setting over the ocean & “Queen” on the radio I felt like this place was going to be home.
This guide will take you on a journey along the coast from Cape Town to Johannesburg or (vice versa) visiting some of the finest luxury hotels & camps that have a conservation / sustainable ethos along the way. I’ve also featured some of the very best experiences this nation has to offer. From swimming with great white sharks to getting up close & personal with lions in Kruger national park. This country truly makes for unforgettable experiences.
This itinerary can be from 2-4 weeks & is based on renting a car in Cape Town & dropping it off in Johannesburg (the most popular way to travel) as public transport is lacking here. There are other ways to travel from local flights to hop-on hop-off tourist buses that stop at the most famous sights if you can’t drive.

Lisbon surprised me in many ways. Her colors are bright but never garish; she's bustling and crowded, yet still romantic, like a low, elegant fado.
I love discovering the unique cafés, meeting talented artisans, and unexpectedly finding stunning views of the city or the ocean around a corner. I’ve truly fallen in love with her.
Please save and always check on this map and visit any of the cafes, restaurants, museums or parks when you are in a neighbourhood. And I also add small notes for each place so you can quickly find what I like about this place.
Enjoy!

2024 Edition! This is the ultimate 7-day itinerary for Madeira if you want to travel by car. The island, located 1000 kilometers from Portugal in the Atlantic ocean, is often referred to as the Hawaii of Europe with its rough mountains and steep cliffs. The route includes all the highlights of the island - it is a perfect mix of hiking, beautiful viewpoints and exploration. You will see the best of the whole Island.
We have visited Madeira several times and have explored a lot! We want to share our knowledge so you can have the best experience.
This guide also requires a rental car, as some places are not accessible by bus. Also, the bus system is a bit complicated and we always recommend a rental car in Madeira.
This guide starts and ends in Funchal.
This guide is available all year round as Madeira is a year round destination. We also added a section on using a drone for our fellow photographers!
