ABOUT WANDERING BIRD
In 2018, I quit my job as an air traffic controller to travel in a van. That's adulting, right?
Since then, I've spent most of my time living in a motorhome, touring the UK and Europe, sometimes with my husband, sometimes with my daughter and sometimes enjoying solo female vanlife (well, with my dog, Mac!)
Wandering Bird was created to help motorhomers and campervanners make the most of their time on the road.
We share weekly tips, tricks and reviews to encourage and inspire your next adventure, whether you're a complete motorhoming beginner, or a more experienced owner looking for new ideas or places to visit.

Hi Kat, really enjoyed your tips for planning a road trip, hope you have a lovely trip to Ireland, Julie x
Hello Kate, I live in N. Ireland but have been motor homing all over the whole Ireland. There are a number of great sites both North and South. Ireland has excellent roads so your visit will be great.
Hi Kat. Great tips and advice as always. We too are our own worst enemy for always cramming too much into one trip, and just about get away with it, but feel we need another holiday after a roadtrip. We loved the comment about travel in Cornwall đ. Deb and Dave
'Don't stop at the Border Kate, hope to see you on the road.
Totally agree with the pinpointing places to visit. I covered the Wild Atlantic Way last May/June - much too quickly. From Kinsale in the south to Muff near Derry in 3 1/2 weeks. I stayed off-grid for 6 nights only. Plenty of sites along to way, calling 24 hours before with no problem. I am sure you will have Martin Dorey's 'Slow Road to Ireland', which I found brilliant. Have a great trip.đ
Enjoy your trip to Ireland đźđȘ We'll keep an eye out for you. Regards Roisin
I am hoping to do the Wild Atlantic Way so am looking forward to your Irish trip
Great advice, Kat. We did Galway and Connemara last summer and it was really beautiful. You can stay and sleep in Galway cathedral carpark overnight. One couple, I met had stayed there a couple of nights. Just give a donation to the cathedral.
Great tips as planning a trip now - complete newbie! Where do I get the planner? Also Iâm from Ireland. Looking at your map stops, assuming you arrive in to Dublin, might be worth visiting those two places north of Dublin firstâŠmotorway from Dublin approx 90 mins then come back and proceed down the east coast. Re the West of Ireland, Iâd advise you to spend more time there. This time of the year itâll be empty and so gorgeousâŠakin to Cornwall from what Iâve heard of it.
Thanks Kat, Iâve just watched your Vlog about the Fire Stick, having been retired from the Fire Service for several years now, I was really interested in the it. Actually Iâll send you an email đđ
Hi Dave. Hope it's nothing negative? I was just about to fork out for one đČ
Hello Kat, firstly thanks for all your informative videos of which Ive watched heaps. Ive just watched the one about the NC500 and its prompted me to ask your opinion. My husband and I are New Zealanders and we are picking up a new motorhome from Perthshire on 24th July. We are away and travelling in the motorhome for 6 months and our plan (not booked) is to do about 6 weeks in Scotland, then make our way down through England for 6 weeks, crossover to France and travel down to Northern Spain and Portugal for the allowed 90days. SoâŠthis puts us in Scotland for August which I believe is the dreaded school holiday busy time! Do you have a suggestion of where would be the least busy for motorhome travel during August (anywhere in Scotland or England). Because we have quite a bit of time we can be flexible. We dont return to NZ until 25th Jan 2024. Any opinion or suggestions would be so gratefully received. We really dont like busyness or crowds..and intend to mainly use CL sites or CAMC club sites. (We did this in 2019 so are pretty familiar with the system etc ) Many thanks Vicki
Are you not coming to Northern Ireland?
kat can i ask advise do i need a fresh air sticker to just go to normandy thank you in advance
Nope, not if youâre not going into any of the clean air zones.
How long legally are you allowed to drive for and how long are the stops do you have to take like drive 4 hours stop for 2 hours if that makes sense please
There are no legal rules for private vehicles. But donât drive tired!
I don't plan road trips I just go
