First days of real beach life in vanlife paradise Greece

In the next blog posts I’ll cover what my journey was like until now. Right now this stuff is only on Instagram and as I described in my last post, I’m going to change that.

After my time on Corfu, I moved onwards to the mainland of Greece and I was very excited how living in a car will work out in Greece. I had no big worries and heard a lot of positive voices about it.

After two years of living in cars in Germany living in a car in Greece is totally different! In Germany you have to search for places where you have a lot of nature and not so many other people around. What is more, you can’t just park on a beach. You certainly won’t find much places where you can even get close to a beach with your mobile home. And in contrast to that, I just found this spot at the Gianiskari Beach in Greece. I was totally amazed and flashed.

For the most part, Rosinante and I were completely alone. The weather were just starting getting warmer and spring really started. The beach is pretty big and there are sand dunes were you can try some offroading skills. It has been the first time in real sand for me and Rosinante and we had a lot of fun.

Croatian rock and sea planet drone video and we lost a comrade

I took some drone shots on the Croatian rock and sea planet I visited. It was super fun flying drone and this time I spent more time creating the background music with Korg Gadget 2 on my iPad.

But I’m very sorry to announce: We lost a comrade!

A couple of flights later “Droni” (my DJI FPV Drone) my small little comrade and recon drone who traveled with me in my “Ein-Raum-Schiff” (single room spaceship) Rosinante, suffered under technical problems, initiated the failsafe landing procedure, lost contact to her mothership and got lost in the vastness of rock planet. I started multiple rescue missions and searched hours after her. I tried to narrow down the search parameter as good as possible but I couldn’t find her. The terrain in which she did the failsafe landing is a worst case scenario for a search and rescue mission: it’s fucking steep, rocky, full of loose rocks, tight bushes and cliffs.

When I bought Droni, I got the DJI Care Refresh insurance and as soon as I lost all hope to find her, I contacted the DJI Support and they were damn friendly and fast. Two days after contact they finished my case and they will send me a new Droni (2) to my German address. Thanks a lot, DJI!
