Quarantine in the motorhome

Quarantine in the motorhome - You can't imagine anything worse than being caught on vacation by a crisis like the Corona crisis, where everyone is asked to leave their home only in an emergency. Your vacation is probably over now and you are planning your return trip home. But that doesn't have to be the case! You can also spend a quarantine, or rather a "curfew", in your motorhome.

What, locked up in such a small space? - Yes, why not? Your motorhome offers you just as many possibilities as a 2-room apartment, even if the space available may be a little more limited. On the other hand, you can decide every day where you want to spend your time without breaking any rules!

We have 6 great tips for you that will give you lots of fun even in the smallest of spaces. Master this challenge of quarantine in a motorhome and recognize the variety that is offered to you. Have fun discovering and imitating.

You can also spend a "curfew" in your mobile home.

1. create a list of travel destinations.

When, if not now, should you start thinking about your next travel destinations? You probably already have a few countries and cities in mind that you would like to get to know. Or places you have already been to and would now like to explore more intensively?
You have read articles, found inspiration on the Internet or received recommendations from friends. Put all this on paper and create a ranking list.
Then get a little more specific. Add three more details: 1. who should accompany you on this trip or are you going alone? 2. what costs will you incur and how much money do you want to spend? 3. when do you want to set off? Sorting out your wishes and thoughts and giving them a date makes them more tangible. You can prepare for it, plan it and enjoy the anticipation.

Our tip for your next trip: Simply explore the different corners of Germany. The rugged coastline of the Baltic Sea or would you prefer the mountains? Our country and its neighboring countries have a lot to offer and are easily accessible by motorhome. You don't have your own motorhome, but would like to experience this decelerating way of traveling? Simply find a rental partner in your area and plan your vacation with a motorhome from Maple Rent.

2. write testimonials about your last trip.

You don't have to be a blogger or even a writer to write a travelogue. You simply have to have been there. Do this for yourself to record your experiences and have a nice memory. Remember special places, great restaurants and nice conversations and record them in your personal travel diary. You can also add funny anecdotes and great pictures!
Perhaps you have taken so many great pictures that you can create a photo book. You can use the free software offered by many providers to create your own travel guide. Conveniently via the Internet. This is also a great way to share your experiences with friends and family.

Pictures say more than a thousand words? Then use social media such as Instagram and Facebook to capture your experiences.

Have you written a great report and would like to share it with the Ahorn Camp community? Also about your personal quarantine in the motorhome. Then please send us your report via e-mail and we will be happy to publish it on our website and the various social media channels.

Create your own personal travel diary about the quarantine in your motorhome.

3. sort out.

We've all been there. Your closet is full and you have nothing to wear. One or two items of clothing may have become too small or are no longer to your liking. It's time to clear out and make room for new clothes.

But what about photos and videos on your smartphone, notebook and external storage media? What, you just save pictures and that's it? No wonder the storage space on your 1TB hard disk is slowly running out. Now it's time to tidy up, organize and clear out. You don't necessarily have to keep blurry or duplicate pictures. Limit yourself to a few great pictures. You can create folders and mark your favorite pictures as favorites. The more order you have on your devices, the quicker you can access them. It's also fun to reminisce. What were you doing a year ago today? Who visited you 2 years ago? What outfit did you wear 5 years ago?

4. finally read a book again.

Now is a unique opportunity to relax and read an interesting magazine or a good book without any time pressure. Whether you have already read the book or it has been waiting on your shelf for a year to be read - get started now. Make yourself a cup of tea, snuggle up in your favorite blanket and start your exciting fantasy journey. The tablet or e-reader has proven to be a practical substitute for books when traveling. They allow you to buy new books quickly and save space in your luggage. In addition, you always have access to different genres and can adapt your book style to your mood. Alone at night in a motorhome? Then you're more likely to choose a romantic comedy rather than a dark thriller. Unless you like thrills and sleepless nights!

Reading is too exhausting for you? Then how about an exciting audio book? There are now countless providers. And the best thing is that all you need is your smartphone. Listening pleasure is guaranteed.

And if you want to watch a nice movie again, you can easily stream it on the go. Of course, this requires a suitable Internet connection. So it's best to always keep an eye on your data volume and top it up with your provider if necessary.

Make yourself a cup of tea, snuggle up in your favorite blanket and start your exciting fantasy journey.

5. exercise is also a must.

Take a nice long walk or go for a jog. Curfew does not mean that you are not allowed to be out in the fresh air. However, avoid contact with other walkers. Can you only do real sport in the gym? That's just a rumor. Be creative and discover new ways to keep fit in a limited space. Sit-ups, squats and the like usually take up less space than you think. Stretching exercises also help you to stay flexible and relax your muscles. Now it's up to you. Be creative and stay fit even during quarantine in your motorhome.

6. learn something new.

The brain is also a muscle that should be exercised regularly. When was the last time you completed a crossword puzzle? Or done some "brain jogging" with an app? Board games are also a great diversion and a great way to pass the time. Or have you always wanted to learn a new foreign language? Now you can prepare for your next travel destination. Start easily with simple sentences such as: "Hello, my name is..." and "How are you?". It's always nice to know a few words of the local language in foreign countries. Not only to communicate more easily, but also to treat the people in your vacation destination with respect. Of course, you don't necessarily have to speak the new language perfectly to do this. Language apps such as Babbel are helpful for this, as they allow you to broaden your linguistic horizons in a fun way.

A great way to combine the beautiful with the useful is to try out new recipes. Experiment with spices and regional ingredients. The challenge here is to create the maximum taste experience in a minimum of space. And then with just a few utensils. Nobody wants to wash all the dishes again after cooking. So-called "one pot" dishes, where only one pot is needed, are therefore ideal.

Simply learn a new language.

We still have so many exciting ideas for quarantine in the motorhome, such as knitting, painting or meditating. But now it's your turn. What ideas can you think of or have already helped you beat the battle against boredom? Get creative and adapt your habits to the new life situation. Make the most of the time you have gained and manage it well. Enjoy every second, because every day is precious. Stay relaxed and, above all, stay healthy.
