24 hours of pure bliss on Capri – Italy

While there are many ways to get to Capri during high season and summer, in November the options to make it to this beautiful island near the Amalfi Coast are more limited. But since this place was described as not to be missed, we obviously didn't want to just skip it. So here's a bit…

Will 2022 finally be the year?

Yeah, those thinking 2021 would be their year might be hugely disappointed by the outcome. All those promises of freedom and traveling wide and far again didn't really end up being fulfilled... But that doesn't mean this year isn't worth it to look back on and still be grateful of what we got. It wasn't…

Highlights along the Amalfi Coast – a November trip

Considered to be one of the most beautiful coastlines and UNESCO world heritage; the Amalfi Coast in Southern Italy. It seems to be one of those destinations that's on every traveller's bucketlist. Including mine. So when I gave my boyfriend free reign to choose a travel destination for our week off work in November and…

A royal celebration of my aging in Paris

It's official; I've kicked off the last year of my twenties! Thirty is looming, oh my oh my. But that's still an entire year away. First, it was time to celebrate twenty-nine! And is there a better way to spent a birthday than abroad? I don't think so! It's a rule for me not to…

Tackling two mountain passes and Lourdes in the French Pyrenees

Our trip through the North of Spain sadly ended after we finished our hike through the Ordesa valley, but it wasn't the complete end of our roadtrip. We still had to drive back home and for that, we had to cross the Pyrenees. Oh beautiful mountains, I can't just drive past you, can I? Late…

Through the valley in the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park

When you've checked off all the sights in the area you had planned to visit and you have another couple of days left on your holiday, what do you do? In my case, definitely not just sit back and relax. I take the map and see what else there is to see within reasonable distance.…

From buckets of rain to brilliant sunshine in San Sebastian, Spain

It's crazy to witness how fast the weather can change from one opposite to the other. When we arrived in the city of San Sebastian, or as it is known in Basque language; Donostia, dark gray clouds were not just threatening to drop their load. They did, full force. All evening and night. But then…

Fast exploration of Bilbao – one evening and one morning

A few years ago a friend of mine told me that one of her favorite trips she'd ever taken was to the North of Spain and Bilbao. For reasons unknown we didn't discuss it in dept, but ever since that conversation this city had been on my radar. Our initial plans of a roadtrip through…

Riding along the coast of Biscay and Basque Country, Spain

After two and a half days of mountain peaks and lush, green surroundings, it was time to leave Picos de Europa and all its beauty behind us and head north to the coast. The next part of our roadtrip through the north of Spain would be focusing on the coastline of Biscay and Basque Country.…

Peak moments in the Picos de Europa

No great September without a good roadtrip and this year was no different! With corona still not entirely out of our lives, I once again opted to depart from home rather than fly somewhere and rent a car on location. This way we were always able to go home in a worst case scenario. Fortunately…
