Our Purecampers story

How it all started?

Peter

I built my first campervan VW T4 (Mountain hut) in 2017. At that time I was working as a business analyst for an international company for four years, already knowing that this is not my way. I quit the job and started to plan a half year trip towards waves and adventure along the Atlantic coast of Europe and Morocco. Of course in the freshly converted 20-year old van.

The trip was great. I came back home with loads of experiences and an empty bank account. After a few months of working seasonal jobs in order to survive I tried to rent my campervan. The first bookings surprised me, I was not expecting much interest. This small success, however, gave me enough courage to try it out next season a bit more seriously and with a second van (Big Banana).

While Peter was building his second van I was finishing university in Copenhagen. We did not know about each other back then. During uni I often had the dilemma whether to build a career in finances (which I studied) or rather do something what fulfills me more. It didn’t take long until I changed the corporate job for an adventure in Sri Lanka where I was helping to set up and run a surf school for local girls.

Pandemic shuffled the cards and returned me home to Slovakia. Thanks to our common passion in surfing our paths with Peter crossed…
