Allow your child to ask questions and comment on the story. Look at the pictures in the book together and describe them.

Jil Eileen: Her life traveling around the world

FIV: As can be seen in your Instagram feed, you have already seen and traveled to many countries. Which of these destinations have been your favorite so far?

Jil: Phew that’s a very difficult question, I’ve already traveled to 63 countries and each one had something special in its own way. I couldn’t decide where I liked it best, I would go to every country I’ve been to again.

FIV: On social media and on your website, you talk almost exclusively about travel. How did you develop this passion? What excites you most about traveling?

Jil: I’ve always been very adventurous and loved getting to know new places, cultures and people. In 2018, I quit my job and set off alone with a backpack to travel the world. Even before that, I had always planned my days off and vacations so that I could travel as much as possible, but once I had traveled full-time, I was hooked. What excites me most about traveling is discovering new places, feeling the freedom and being myself.

Happiness is the only thing that doubles when you share it, so why not share what makes me happy with you!

FIV: You are only 26 years old and still very young. How do you finance your many trips? How frugal are you and do you have any tips for our readers on how to travel the world cheaply?

Jil: I saved well in advance for my year solo trip around the world, I had 3-4 jobs at the same time and was really hard-working. So I was always able to put a lot of money aside. It’s very important to always keep in mind that ‘every little helps’. This applies to saving and spending. Before you save nothing, save at least something. Then it may take longer to reach your target amount, but you will still reach your goal. And when it comes to spending, it’s the other way around, if I think ‘oh, that’s only €5’ for every little thing, then that can be quite a lot at the end of a trip. I always write down every € I spend on my trips to get an idea of how much the trip has cost me so far. If I’ve budgeted well then I can treat myself to something, if I haven’t budgeted well then I can just eat oatmeal for 3 days I’m now self-employed and can live off my travel blog and online store, instead of working hard and saving up in advance I now travel and work in the meantime.

A day with Jil: adventure or relaxation? Mountains or pool?

FIV: What does a perfect day on vacation look like for you? Are you more of an active person or do you prefer to take it slower? Chilling by the pool or climbing in the mountains? What type of vacation are you?

Jil: I am the active traveler, I love hiking, climbing in the mountains, surfing at the sea & have so many ‘bumblebees in my butt’ that I always want to do something. Of course I also like to lie by the pool or the sea, but that tends to happen between activities.

FIV: What has been your most exciting experience on your travels so far? Was there ever a particularly exciting event or did you perhaps undertake an unusual activity? Paragliding, bungee jumping or something like that?

Jil: I have experienced a lot when traveling but the first activity that comes to my mind is a hike in Hawaii. The Olomana Trail, also called ‘Three Peaks’. A very dangerous hike that gave you an absolute adrenaline rush and was just so much fun, even though you were pushed to your limits.

Germany tour: route, tips & what the country has to offer

FIV: A few months ago, you and your boyfriend went on a tour through Germany. How did you come up with this idea and how did you plan the tour? Was there a fixed route or did you set off spontaneously?

Jil: We’ve already seen so much of the world but not yet our own country. We wanted to change that, so we did a lot of research and looked at everything Germany has to offer. We thought about a route in advance and then drove to the places we had picked out. I sometimes went with my boyfriend, but sometimes with friends too.

FIV: Tell us something about this tour. Which destinations did you head for and which sights did you want to visit? Would you have thought that Germany has such beautiful places to offer?

Jil: I have to admit, I underestimated Germany! I never thought I would see such amazing places in my own country. We went hiking on the Moselle, in the Black Forest and in the Palatinate Forest, we discovered stand-up paddle boarding on Lake Constance, we went swimming in the lake at Eibsee in Bavaria and we couldn’t stop being amazed in Saxon Switzerland. At the age of 25, I made it to the German seaside for the first time

FIV: As you can see in your Instagram feed, you went camping and slept together in the car. What was it like for you to live in such a small space? Would you do it again and recommend it to others?

Jil: It wasn’t a problem for me, you just get to know each other better and bond more. We furnished our car a bit with a topper on which we slept, hung curtains on the windows to darken it a bit and have privacy, and decorated it a bit comfortably. Apart from that, we of course had a gas stove and everything we needed for camping In the beginning or to get out spontaneously, the car is the perfect alternative. In the meantime, we have converted a van, moved in and are traveling through Europe.

Insider tips & goals for the future

FIV: Where was the best place? Do you have an absolute insider tip for us? A special place, a sight or perhaps even a secret route?

Jil: I liked Saxon Switzerland best, the landscape there is really breathtaking and you can go hiking for days and always see something new

FIV: What is your absolute dream destination for the future? You’ve already seen a lot of the world. Is there still a country or perhaps even a specific place that you dream of visiting at some point?

Jil: There’s a lot to be honest, but Namibia, the Philippines, Peru and Sweden are at the top of my list.

Setup & extras: tips & experience for roof tent newbies

While converting their survival car, Jessy and Manu installed their roof tent and are excited to see how it will prove itself on their upcoming tours. They give tips on how to set it up and talk about their experiences with it.

Step by step: Assembling the roof tent

First, they open the zipper of the cover and remove the tarpaulin. Now you can already see that the outer tarpaulin of the tent is olive green, which goes well with the adventure. They find the running boards on their pickup very practical. Manu can use them to easily remove the tarpaulin.

Our tips: if you don’t have a pickup, a small stepladder or stool will do.

Setting up the tent proves to be surprisingly easy. Manu can simply unfold the tent using the ladder. It’s already up! All that remains to be done is to attach the hinges to the entrance. Finally, the spring rods for the windows can be attached to keep them open. Manu also shows the guy ropes in case it gets too windy, but for now the two explorers don’t need them.

You can set up the roof tent quickly with these steps:

1. Open the zipper of the cover
2. Remove tarpaulin
3. Fold out using the ladder
4. Pin the hinges to the entrance
5. Fastening the spring rods for the windows
6. Possibly bracing in strong winds

Special summer extra: tropical roof

Particularly noteworthy is the tent’s tropical roof, which creates an additional layer of air between the tent and the sun to reduce the heat inside. Manu and Jessy are curious to see if this works in practice when they use the tent on a hot summer’s day.

Tropical roof: extra ventilation for the tent on very warm days (More: Camping accessories)

Rooftop tent from the inside: Windows, mattress & lighting

The tent is also pleasing on the inside. It has windows on the sides to let in fresh air and the overall finish makes a robust impression. Numerous pockets offer space for your camping utensils and options for hanging a string of lights to give the tent a cozy atmosphere.

Manu and Jessy opted for this model as it promised enough space. But even for Manu, who is 1.98 m tall and actually has his hammock with him to sleep on, the mattress proved to be surprisingly comfortable. There is a special material under the mattress that keeps moisture out and prevents mildew and mold. They also like the skylight. They can admire the starry sky if they want to.

Tip! To find the right model for you, you can start by thinking about how big you want your roof tent to be. To do this, you should first think about how many people will be traveling with you. You can read more about this here:

• Roof tent for 2 people
• Roof tent for 3 people
• Roof tent for 4 people
• Roof tent for 5 people

You can do this once you have set up the roof tent and climb inside:

• Windows for fresh air & solid workmanship
• Pockets provide storage space for camping utensils
• Option to hang up fairy lights / lamp
• Surprising comfort & space on the mattress
• Mattress carpet pad prevents moisture & mold
• Skylight for starry sky viewing

Save money & gain freedom: first impression & benefits

Manu and Jessy’s first impression of the roof tent is extremely positive. Not only does it provide a comfortable place to sleep, it also saves money on hotel accommodation. Even more important, however, is the freedom that the roof tent offers them. They can spend the night in the most beautiful places and are not tied to pre-booked accommodation. Manu and Jessy are looking forward to their first night in the rooftop tent. They are looking forward to many exciting adventures in this practical and cozy roof tent.

That’s why it’s worth it for Jessy and Manu to sleep in the roof tent, and maybe for you too:

• Comfortable sleeping accommodation close to nature
• Money savings compared to hotels & hostels
• Possibility to spend the night in the most beautiful places
• Independence from pre-booked accommodation

You can take a look at the maze in our introductory video at the top of the page.

Midday: Beach, swimming and surfing

The midday invites to water fun of all kinds. Whether sportsmen or relaxers, everyone gets their money’s worth here. You always wanted to try water skiing or wakeboarding? You can do that here at the Alfsee, too. With the help of modern cable cars you can glide over the water in the sun. The local surf school invites you to surf, kite surf and sail.

A white sandy beach is the highlight for the children, who can build super sand castles here after swimming and bathing. The adults can relax at the beach bar. Those who are still not exhausted after the water sports can really step on the gas in the aqua park.

Similar region: The Hopfensee

A holiday at the Hopfensee promises a real adventure, because a trip to the dreamlike lake involves a little round trip around the surrounding towns. While the first day at the lake is spent hiking, swimming, surfing and then sampling the home cooking from the best fishing lodge in Germany, the second day only offers more fun. Neuschwanstein Castle in Schwangau, the Lech Falls in Füssen or a relaxing day at the campsite directly on Lake Hopfen. There is probably not enough time on a short holiday to discover everything.
