Behind the scenes: People, ideas and passion
Who are the people behind the Camp’n’Connect app?
And how did the app come to life?
Hi, I’m Bea, and I came up with the idea for the Camp’n’Connect app. Together with my VW bus, Kuddel, and my boyfriend, Timo, I travel through the vibrant corners of Europe. We love exploring unknown places, immersing ourselves in the cultures of various countries, and enjoying the diverse nature.
The spark for Camp’n’Connect hit me during my very first solo trip through picturesque Norway. The scenery there is absolutely breathtaking, and I relished the freedom to stop at the most beautiful spots. But sometimes, it would have been really nice to have some company – maybe from someone who’s on a similar journey. I saw plenty of other campers on the road, but somehow, I didn’t make any real connections.
While at the campsites, I found myself wondering: Who are the people on my wavelength? Who would be up for a joint hike or an evening by the campfire? Who wants to chat and who just wants to be on its own? Is there perhaps another traveler nearby who would make a great buddy?
This guessing game got me thinking – it couldn’t just be me who felt this way! I looked for an app to connect us adventurous campers, but the app store came up empty. So, I ended up spending most of my time alone, even though I would have loved to share experiences with like-minded people.
That’s when I realized: if the universe doesn’t give you an app, you build it yourself! Timo, who’s been in love with camping since he was a kid, immediately caught fire with the idea. So, we rolled up our sleeves and set out to bring our vision of a camper community app to life. To this day, it’s our biggest and most thrilling adventure – a true rollercoaster ride into the world of entrepreneurship.
Our dream? To build a vibrant community where every camper, vanlifer, and overlander can find their tribe, no matter where they are in the world.
We want you never to feel alone – unless, of course, you want a quiet evening with a good book. Camp’n’Connect is meant to be your springboard into a world of friendships, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments.
Hop on board, and let’s revolutionize camping together!
