Jane (68) and Chris (69) traveled around the world to see Lofoten: This is how they fulfilled their dream

When Jane turned 68, she didn’t ask for flowers or a fancy dinner — she asked for an adventure. And not just any adventure.

Jane and her husband Christopher flew all the way from Australia to Northern Norway — halfway around the world — to chase a dream she had held onto for years: exploring Lofoten by campervan.

This wasn’t a random bucket-list trip.

Jane’s best friend had traveled with Arctic Vanlife the year before and came home to Australia bursting with stories about dramatic coastlines, midnight sun, and the freedom of the open road in Northern Norway.

If you ever go north,” she told Jane, “this is the way to do it.”

That tip turned into a plan. And that plan became a birthday present.

Rent a Pepper from Arctic Vanlife and explore Northern Norway with your own campervan.

The couple landed at Evenes Airport, where our team at Arctic Vanlife was ready to welcome them with their van Pepper, packed and prepped for an unforgettable road trip through the north.

From that moment, their journey unfolded like a storybook — winding roads through Lofoten’s towering mountains, sleepy fishing villages, and white-sand beaches under the endless summer light.

“This was something we’d always dreamed of doing,” Jane said. “But to do it like this, in our own van, at our own pace — that made it perfect.”

Arctic Vanlife is based at Evenes, the perfect gateway to Lofoten, Vesterålen, and the coastal gems of Northern Norway.

We offer both vintage campervans full of charm and modern campers with all the comforts — available all year round. Whether it’s a summer road trip or a winter northern lights hunt, our vans are ready.

Arctic Vanlife also has bigger campers. Like this Weinsberg Family Tourer

And just like Jane and Christopher, anyone can do it. You don’t need to be an experienced camper or a local explorer. We offer high-level personal service, travel advice, and everything you need to feel safe and inspired on the road.

They came from the other side of the world to live this dream. Maybe it’s your turn next?
