Our favourite quote this month; " ...ANW became a big focus for us. It allowed us to actually get other perspectives and views, to learn more about the social naturist scene. We were looking to get more involved with other like minded individuals, and for us, it became what we now see as a major stepping stone into the outside naturist world. To be honest, for us, stuck at home, it was the single most positive aspect of our life at that time." - By RnR.
Until next time...
Best Wishes Anna and Steve - A Naturist World

Paul Merton: ‘I stayed in one of the world’s worst hotels in China’
The comedian recalls terrible hotels in China, mishaps with malaria tablets and why he’s happiest holidaying in the UK
Interview by Nick McGrath
From The Sunday Times, 22nd February 2023
Paul Merton, 65, first performed at the Comedy Store in 1982 and since 1990 has been a fixture on the BBC’s Have I Got News for You, which returns this spring for its 65th series. He lives in London with his third wife, Suki Webster, his co-star on Channel 5’s Motorhoming with Merton & Webster
My first holiday of any substance was to a holiday camp in Hemsby, on the edge of the Norfolk Broads. I was eight years old and I loved it. I loved the space to run around and the people drinking beer and watching the shows in the ballroom. It felt idyllic.
I visited Ireland a couple of years later and got a lot of attention from my mum’s relatives, which was great for my performer’s ego. We saw the Ring of Kerry and I was charmed by the locals’ love of words and storytelling.
I spent most of the Eighties living in a bedsit earning very little money, so the first time I travelled further afield was in 1987, when I went all the way to Australia, with a heavy cold, to visit my girlfriend at the time.
The cheapest route was London to Sydney, via Athens and Singapore. In Athens, the complimentary coach from the hotel to the airport was full of boy scouts from Liechtenstein, who were on their way to Sydney for an international scouting jamboree. Being stared at by three-dozen hostile Liechtensteiner boy scouts is an experience I won’t forget.
After a two-day delay in Singapore, I eventually got to Sydney on Christmas Day with horrible jet lag and an even heavier cold, sat down to Christmas lunch in 35C heat, then fell asleep for 16 hours. It felt like I’d been kicked in the head by a horse.
I’d only been earning £30 a gig, sometimes £10 even, so holidays were rare. But as my career took off, I travelled more — including to Kenya in 1990, where I had a terrible experience with anti-malarial drugs. Back then you had to take a weekly and daily pill and I had a severe reaction to the weekly pill, but it took a while to work out what the problem was.
Each Friday, first in Kenya and then back home in London, I’d take this pill then start to hallucinate. I got these paranoid thoughts, where I believed I was being followed by the Freemasons and could predict the next song on the radio. Which I couldn’t.
I then went to places like St Lucia, but felt uncomfortable driving around in a rented Land Rover that probably represented what some people there might earn in half a lifetime. I felt the same visiting Cape Town.
I was lucky enough to film a couple of travel documentary series in India and China — and had totally contrasting experiences. The poverty was dramatic in India, but the people were polite and proud and when I returned to film in Mumbai, Delhi and Calcutta, they found our earnestly awful attempts at Bollywood improv hilarious and gave us multiple standing ovations.
I wouldn’t return on holiday to China, as the state interference leaves a bit of a nasty taste, as does the spitting. You literally pull up at some traffic lights and a woman in a very nice car will open her window and spit on the road. Everybody does it. Maybe a popular Chinese film star was a passionate spitter. Or perhaps Chairman Mao decreed it a healthy habit. Filming while surrounded on all sides by armed soldiers wasn’t massively relaxing either.
I also stayed in one of the world’s worst hotels in China. The foyer had a tarpaulin covered in some unusually dark stains and the room had bits of wall missing and stank of urine. I moved to a nearby hotel which was equally basic but clean, at least, although the TV was puzzling. It had a single channel showing a military man laden with medals berating a group of people for hours on end while they looked shamefaced.
I’d love to visit New Zealand as everyone raves about it. Another place I definitely won’t go back to is Tahiti, which everyone imagines is a South Sea paradise, but for me, it wasn’t. The hotel I stayed in was completely overrun by cats.
These days I prefer British holidays, as airports in the 21st century leave you with a low level of anxiety. My wife and I now love travelling round Britain in our motorhome, which is basically a hotel room on wheels. If we all could drop the idea that we have to go on holiday somewhere that has guaranteed sun, holidaying in this country has a lot going for it.
Paul and Suki will be speaking at the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show at the NEC Birmingham, which runs from February 21 to 26 (ccmshow.co.uk)

Motorhomes and campervans are like travelling homes that let you go wherever you want without leaving the comforts of home behind. You get more space and luxury with a motorhome, like a small house that moves. With a campervan, you get a more simple and compact living space that's easy to drive around. This article will break down the differences between motorhomes and campervans, helping you understand what each one offers. By the end, you'll have a clearer picture of what suits your travel needs and preferences best, whether you're considering a Christchurch motorhome hire or a Queenstown campervan hire.
Size and Comfort
Motorhome
Motorhomes are generally bigger and offer more space and comfort. They are like little apartments on wheels, with separate areas for sleeping, cooking, and relaxing. A motorhome might be the best choice if you're planning a long trip or have a big family. Many travellers opt for motorhome hire in Christchurch or other popular locations to enjoy a roomy and comfortable experience.
2. Campervan
Campervans are smaller and more compact. They usually have just what you need without extra frills. Campervans are great for couples or small groups who want to travel light and are happy with less space. South Island campervan hire, for example, is a popular choice for those looking to explore on a budget.
Features and Facilities 1. Motorhome
A motorhome usually has a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, and other amenities like TV and air conditioning. It's like having a small house you can drive around! If you're looking for a comfortable and spacious journey, this might be the right option.
2. Campervan
A campervan is more basic. There might be a simple kitchenette and sleeping area, but usually no separate bathroom. Queenstown campervan hire, or similar options, is perfect for those who love the idea of simple living on the road. If you are a fan of minimalism and want to be closer to nature, a campervan offers a more raw and authentic travelling experience, giving you just what you need and nothing more.
Cost 1. Motorhome With all those extras, motorhomes usually cost more to rent or buy. Fuel costs might also be higher because motorhomes are larger and heavier. If comfort and luxury are your top priorities, and you're willing to spend a bit more, a motorhome could be your ideal home on wheels.
2. Campervan
Campervans are often a more affordable choice. They are smaller and lighter, so they usually use less fuel. This might be the way to go if you're travelling on a tight budget. A campervan can offer a fantastic, budget-friendly adventure that still keeps you comfortable.
Flexibility 1. Motorhome
Motorhomes are bigger, so driving or parking in busy areas might be harder. They are great for staying in one place for a while and really settling in. A motorhome offers stability and space to unwind at your own pace if your journey is more about leisurely exploration and less about constant movement.
Campervan
Campervans are more nimble and easy to drive around. If you're planning to move from place to place frequently and explore different sites, a campervan might be a better choice. This feature makes them perfect for travellers who crave spontaneous exploration and adventure.
Conclusion
Choosing between a motorhome and a campervan depends on your needs, budget, and travel style. Think about what's most important to you, whether it's space, comfort, cost, or flexibility, and that will guide your choice. And if you're considering exploring the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand, why not check out CamperCo for an unforgettable journey? They offer great options to suit every traveller's needs and will make your adventure on wheels an experience to remember. For detailed information, visit this website- Camperco.co.nz.
FAQs
Is it easier to drive a campervan or a motorhome?
Campervans are generally easier to drive due to their smaller size and more car-like handling. They're similar to driving a larger van, which many people find manageable. Motorhomes, especially the bigger ones, can be more challenging to drive. They require getting used to the size, turning radius, and manoeuvrability, especially in tight spaces or on narrow roads.
Which one is better for a short weekend trip, a motorhome or a campervan?
For a short weekend trip, a campervan is often more convenient as they are quicker to set up and pack up. They're smaller, so you can park them more easily, even in smaller campsites or urban areas. You have more amenities with a motorhome, but for a short trip, you might not need all the extra space and facilities.
How many people can comfortably sleep in a motorhome and a campervan?
Motorhomes can usually sleep more people, often 4 to 6, because they're bigger. Campervans usually sleep 2 to 4 people. Think about how many people will travel with you and how much space you need to sleep comfortably.

I decided to make a mock-up for my animation, to see how achievable it was and to get an idea of what it would look like. to gauge how I wanted to create it. I created the assets, the motorhome, and the background, for this on Illustrator, then put these into after effects and added motion to the motorhome to make it look like it was driving.
the drawing of the motorhome took much longer than anticipated, despite it being a flat colour and simple style illustration. However, actually animating it to look like it was driving didn't take to long, changed the scale and position of the vehicle to make it look like it was getting smaller and further away.
Initially, i wanted to have the animation pan up from this wide angle behind the motorhome up to a bird's eye view angle of the scene. Ive realised this would take too long as I would have to draw a lot more angles of the motorhome. Whereas if I just have it cut from the wide angle to the birds eye view angle, I only have to draw two.
When I created the animation I realised that the vehicle appears as if speeds up as it gets further away, due to the fact that its going a shorter distance (than at the start) in the same amount of time. I will need to edit this so that it looks like it travels the same speed the entire time. I also want to make it sort of bounce up and down and side to side a little bit the the action/movement looks more natural, and it actually looks like its driving. If I have time I may also make the curtains seen inside the back window sway when the motorhome moves aswell.
I obviously have more edits and details I will add to the illustration, such as road markings and some minimal shading. I will also add some greenery to the edge of the road, because at the moment it doesn't look very much like a road in new Zealand, as it looks more like a desert road.

Life in a Motorhome in New Zealand: Living the Dream on Wheels
New Zealand. The land of breathtaking landscapes, winding roads, and endless adventures. And what better way to experience it all than by living in a motorhome?
The Ultimate Freedom One of the most incredible parts of motorhome life in NZ is the sense of absolute freedom. You’re not tied to one place. You can wake up to the sound of waves crashing along the coast one day and then park up next to a misty mountain range the next. With no set route, no agenda, every day feels like a blank canvas waiting to be filled with adventure.
Waking Up to Epic Views Imagine opening your door to views of emerald green hills, tranquil lakes, and jagged peaks covered in snow. You’ll find motorhome spots with landscapes that feel like they were pulled straight from a fantasy novel. And the sunrises and sunsets? Pure magic. Golden skies reflecting off crystal-clear waters, the world feels so expansive when your home has four wheels and a wide-open view.
Finding Those Hidden Gems What I love about motorhome life here is discovering hidden gems you’d probably never come across if you weren’t mobile. From remote hot springs tucked away in the forests to quiet beaches only accessible by dirt roads – New Zealand is full of surprises if you're willing to wander.
The Cozy Simplicity of Life on the Road Living in a motorhome simplifies everything. You learn to live with less – less stuff, less stress, and more time to appreciate the little things. A good cup of coffee with a view, reading a book by a river, or just watching the stars in the darkest skies you’ve ever seen. There's something comforting about having everything you need in one small space, all while being surrounded by the vastness of nature.
Challenges? Yep, But They’re Part of the Fun Not gonna lie, there are some tricky bits to this lifestyle. Finding the perfect campsite can take some trial and error, and you’ll quickly learn the importance of keeping up with the motorhome’s maintenance (especially when driving those winding mountain roads!). Oh, and don’t get me started on finding good WiFi in remote areas. But these little challenges make the journey more rewarding – like leveling up in your very own road adventure game.
A Tight-Knit Community The van and motorhome community in NZ is something special. Everyone has their own story, their own journey, but there’s a shared understanding. Whether it's a nod from a fellow traveler on the road, swapping stories over a campfire, or helping each other out with tips on the best free campsites, it feels like you’re part of something bigger.
Kiwis Are Some of the Kindest People Kiwis (the people, not the bird!) are so welcoming. Whether it’s locals pointing you to a secret spot that only the residents know about or the genuine friendliness you encounter at every stop, New Zealanders make you feel like you belong.
Why New Zealand? Out of all the places you could explore in a motorhome, New Zealand is something special. It's small enough that you can see so much in just a few weeks, but diverse enough that you could spend years here and still discover new places. Rainforests, fjords, glaciers, beaches, rolling vineyards – all within a few hours' drive. It’s honestly a road tripper's paradise.
So, What's Next? For now, I’ll just keep chasing those endless roads and postcard-worthy views. If you’ve ever thought about experiencing New Zealand from a motorhome, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s a way of life that connects you deeply with the land, the people, and your sense of adventure.
Who else is living the van life in NZ? Or who’s dreaming of hitting the open road here? Let’s swap stories!
