Flashlights are “torches”. Trucks are “lorries”. Underwear are “knickers”. Car trunks are “boots”. Same things, but known in different English-speaking cultures by different names. Little did we know when setting out to buy a motorhome in Europe that what we knew about types of motorhomes in America would have completely different designations in Europe. Trailers…
A question that is often on people’s minds when we describe our journey is, “How do political events affect your travels?” Staying Safe Some of the most interesting times we’ve experienced have been when there was a newsworthy event in the area where we were traveling.
