Those who do not plan winter caravanning are definitely looking for a safe harbor for their "house on wheels". Of course, you can use the services of storage facilities, which are the domain of campsites and agritourism farms. It can also be different. The best solution is to winter the vehicle under a roofed carport or in a hangar, after all, a typical garage is definitely too small. Build? Rent? Garage tents are at the forefront when it comes to mobility, flexibility and cost. Contrary to stationary structures or the monthly costs of renting covered parking spaces, the cost of purchasing portable structures pays back relatively quickly.

What is Stavanger associated with? With the European Capital of Culture 2008, or maybe with heavy metal music? With great conditions for winter sports? Or maybe with fjords that only a really brave tourist will conquer?. The colder and whiter in any part of the world, the darker creatures you can meet there. It fits very well to the north of Europe, where a lot of black-, death- or even folk metal bands come from. A good example is the Norwegian city of Stavanger, where groups such as Sirenia and the Theater of Tragedy, Kvelertak and Gehenna were born.

Strong Stavanger sounds

Inhabitants of the central part of Poland finally had a real motor fair. Time will tell whether the event called the Warsaw Moto Show, organized in the new Warsaw Expo center, will actually turn out to be a competitor to the Poznań Motor Show. However, what could be seen on November 20-22 bodes well for the future. The specificity of the Warsaw Moto Show is slightly different than the fair in Poznań. While in the capital of Wielkopolska, the exhibitors are largely manufacturers and main importers of cars of a given brand to Poland, in Nadarzyn near Warsaw, mainly dealers, second-hand shops of luxury cars or companies dealing with broadly understood tuning and vehicle renovation were exhibiting.

A golden, slender, eye-catching saxophone that is associated with ambitious music (including jazz) was born in a small Belgian town near the French border - Dinant. The city of Dinant in southern Belgium has suffered many times due to its strategic location. For tourists, its location by the Meuse River is a huge advantage, especially when you look at the cathedral, beautifully distinguished by the gray of the rock block, and the row of joyfully colorful houses reflecting in the water. Unfortunately, in the past, the city was often used as a battlefield, it was also a victim of looting. Once it was even burnt down and its inhabitants drowned.

Tourist body in a passenger car? Yes, it is possible. There are at least a few companies in the world that offer modular solutions that allow you to turn a motorhome into a motorhome.

However, he believes that typical motorhomes are not mobile enough and uneconomical - especially if someone uses their motorhome only for a few weeks a year. In such a situation, a sensible alternative would be useful, such as the possibility of using a passenger car for tourism purposes . If it succeeds, you will be able to appreciate the charms of active recreation closer to nature without incurring high costs.
