More people are preferring a staycation than overseas travel, so RV, motorhome and campervans are more popular than ever.

​If you’re planning to take your camper out this winter, you’re in the right place. What’s more suitable than snowy mountain peaks to celebrate winter wonders? America’s national parks are truly plentiful, so there’s a perfect location for everyone. 

Feet Do Travel can help you find the most perfect national parks to visit this winter with 5 best US national parks for RV, campervan or motorhome travel.

The future of travel has changed, and many people have invested in Caravans, Motorhomes, Campervans or RV’s so their wanderlust thirst is quenched in a fun and safe way.

However, buying a caravan can be expensive, even if it is a worthy investment for travel lovers. To protect your investment, you should consider buying a caravan cover. Just as you would buy a cover to protect a car when stored away for a few months, getting a caravan or RV cover is vital to protect the vehicle when not in use. A good quality cover keeps away tree sap, dirt, mould, bird poop, and also safeguards the caravan from changing weather. 

My friend Kate Hammaman purchased a Mercedes Sprinter campervan in September 2020 and has loved discovering parts of the UK that she hadn’t seen before. Her website provides honest, tried and tested advice, but also helps educate first time caravan/motorhome/RV/campervan owners.

Following the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling outside of your home country may make you a little more nervous for various reasons. However, this doesn’t mean all your plans to explore and discover new places have to be placed on hold, it simply means you need to be a little more imaginative. Exploring places nearer to home for a staycation is an excellent way of discovering new places on your door step whilst keeping yourself safe, and boosting your country’s economy.

One of the most enjoyable staycations, especially if you have children, is to go camping. This will give you freedom and independence with regard to what you can do, where to go and what you can see. 

The best camping trips do require some preparation in order for you to make the most out of your adventure.

Palm Oil is the new bad-buzz word right now, and rightfully so. You may have seen the various campaigns about how we are killing Orangutans at an alarming rate.

Palm Oil is the new plastic. It’s a secret killer.

The Palm oil industry is contributing to the extinction of the Sumatran Tiger, Sumatran Rhino and Sumatran Elephant who are all in critical danger. If we don’t act now, these beautiful creatures could be extinct because of us.

Deforestation of Borneo’s rainforests is also escalating climate change. As humans we need trees for a healthy planet.

Palm Oil is in 50% of the products on our supermarket shelves, and in 50% of the green biodiesel in our cars. Not so “green” after all. In some parts of the world, there are no alternatives to buying products that contain palm oil. Palm oil is the most widely used vegetable oil in the world.

Yes the orang-utans are losing their habitat and have been annihilated, but it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s not palm oil that is killing the Orangutans, it’s the unsustainable methods used.  

So what can we do about it? Why don’t we stop using palm oil completely? Are there sustainable methods? The keywords to remember here are sustainable palm oil, simply boycotting or cutting out palm oil completely causes other issues.

If you care about the Orangutans, if you want to be someone who makes a difference, we explain the various ways in which you can. Feet Do Travel show you palm oil free and sustainable palm oil products for men, women and for when you travel.

But it’s possible to do something about it. I am here to tell you that it is possible to reduce our single use plastics when we travel.
