As much as I’ve enjoyed the monetary and sustainable aspects of not having a car, there’s no doubt that I am loving how much having one enables us to reach more secluded spots in nature. We love how easily we can walk or bike out into nature from town but getting further and being able to pack firewood, a blanket and bigger items is quite the nice change.

Since we can’t travel abroad and should avoid public transportation it felt light the right time to invest in a car. Last weekend we took Hup on his first proper adventure and it felt so good. Hup is our new car, and of course every good car needs a name. We like that Hup is short and simple and it sounds like he’s always ready to go out on adventure – and so are we!
