10 EPIC Campervan Road Trips We’re Planning Around the World

In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I’m sharing 10 incredible campervan road trips that are firmly on our bucket list for the next decade. From the dramatic fjords of Norway and the remote highways of Northern Canada to the deserts of Utah, the coastline of Western Australia, and even a possible campervan adventure across Japan — these are the road trips we genuinely cannot stop thinking about.

If you love freedom, open roads, wild camping, national parks, tiny coastal towns, and the idea of waking up somewhere completely different every morning, this episode is for you.

I talk through why each route stands out, the best time of year to go, how long you’d realistically need, and what makes these journeys unforgettable. Whether you’re planning your own campervan adventure or just dreaming of future travels, this episode should give you plenty of inspiration.

Expect epic scenery, practical road trip thoughts, and a lot of wanderlust.

Road trips featured include Norway, Western Australia, Arctic Canada, Newfoundland & Labrador, Scotland’s NC500, Utah’s Mighty Five, Iceland, Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, South Africa to Namibia, and Japan by campervan.

Every Monday, James Hammond sets off with a microphone, and the resulting audio feels less like a planned production and more like you’ve been handed a pair of headphones in the middle of an adventure. Winging It Travel Podcast, from Voyascape Media, is built on the idea that the most compelling stories aren't found in guidebooks but in the unplanned moments and raw reactions that happen along the way. You’ll hear the crunch of gravel underfoot on a remote trail, the bustling chaos of a foreign market, and the genuine conversations that unfold when plans fall apart. This approach transforms each episode into a deeply personal journal entry, documenting not just places, but the cultural and human textures that define them. It’s a documentary of feeling as much as fact. While the soundscapes are cinematic, the heart of the podcast lies in its authenticity-the slight breathlessness from hiking up a volcano, the surprise at a strange local delicacy, the quiet reflection after a long day navigating unfamiliar streets. The journey covers the societal layers and personal transformations that travel sparks, making it about more than destinations. Tune in weekly to find yourself completely immersed, feeling as if you’re right there beside James, figuring it all out as you go.
