Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back.

The Liberamente exhibition, featuring a festival for motorhome owners, is taking place in Bologna from February 20 to 22. In 2024, new motorhome registrations in Italy increased by 19.2%, and the country is the third-largest producer in Europe with an annual turnover exceeding €1 billion.

A large category B rest area is to be built on the under-construction D1 motorway section between Hubová and Ivachnová.

Facilities for truck drivers include toilets, showers, a laundry, a kitchenette, and a ramp for removing snow and ice from vehicle roofs. Families will have a children's playground, rest areas, and a dog run. The motorway section is expected to open by September 2025, but the rest area's completion date is not yet set.

The trend of glamping — luxury camping with comfortable tents equipped with beds, heating, and designer interiors — is growing. Critics argue that this format eliminates direct contact with nature, turning it into a backdrop. Supporters say glamping allows those unwilling to rough it to enjoy nature and offers a more sustainable alternative to hotels.
Slovakia is experiencing a caravanning boom, driven by technology and a desire for autonomy. For beginners, the Spiš-Gemer-Malohont route offers developed infrastructure; for experienced travelers, Orava and Liptov provide mountain challenges; and for adventurers, the wild east from Bardejov to Michalovce offers pristine nature. Slovak law permits wild camping only above 1000 meters altitude and requires strict adherence to environmental rules.
