The coastline of Istria – Croatia

Rain, rain, rain and even more rain. That's the best summary I could give you of our third day roadtripping through the Istria region of Croatia. Oh, and have I mentioned that it rained? Because it did. A lot. I mean, I've known days where it drizzled from morning until nightfall and I can deal…

The inland of Istria – Croatia

When flights are cheap and there are still plenty of days off work to take before the end of the year, it's impossible to stay home, right? Even though I wasn't completely at ease with taking a flight during these times, I just couldn't help myself. So October 9th, I boarded a (completely safe, thank…

Mijn favoriete wandelroutes in West en Oost-Vlaanderen

(I'm very sorry to my readers abroad; this post will be in Dutch, just for once! If you'd like info on these hikes as well, just send me a message and I'll give you all you need in a language you can understand!) Eind oktober is het ondenkbare opnieuw gebeurd; een nieuwe lockdown. Opnieuw alle…

By bike through the Gorges du Tarn to Point Sublime

A beautiful, crisp September morning in the south of France. Yesterday’s storm had long passed, the sun was already making her presence known but the warmth of the day hadn’t arrived yet. And we, we were putting on our cycling outfit. Ready to discover the beautiful canyons that were surrounding us. Deep in the Tarn…

Stormchasing in La Cité des Pierres – Montpellier-le-Vieux

While we didn't have an exact itinerary for our roadtrip through France last September, there were of course a few places that we had in mind as a direction. The area around the Gorges du Tarn and the Gorges de la Jonte was one of those places. After a little - but not bad at…

Overnight stop in the Ardeche region to escape the heat

Completely satisfied, but also with a serious case of jello-legs, I got in the car to further our travels into France. Our time in the gorgeous Vercors Massif was over. Bummer! But no time -and reason- to sulk for long; new adventures awaited! The next region that we wanted to explore was the Cevennes. From…

De-stressing in Pont-en-Royans and stressing on Col de la Machine

I've been traveling for many years now, and my favorite way of exploring a place has always been by foot. When I'm in a city, I love to wander through the labyrinth of streets, discovering little corners and unique streets with architecture that moves and inspires me. And when nature is calling me, I'm happiest…

To the top of the Grand Veymont in the Vercors Massif

When the friend you're traveling with has a thing with hiking to the top of mountains on holiday, you have no other choice but to follow and make sure his tradition remains intact. Thank god I love hiking. And mountain tops. And a challenge. As you can see, following was a very big sacrifice on…

Exploring the gorgeous trails at Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval

After an amazing two days in the Jura region, it was time to continue our roadtrip to another region of France. Yay! A colleague of my friend told us about a place in the Haute-Savoie called the Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval, an amphitheater-like valley close to the Swiss border. We only needed to see one picture…

A two day trip through the Jura region – France

I don't know if it was the fact that I was deliriously happy to be traveling again or if I'm just meant for camping life, but I just aced my first night in a tent. Both a relief and a revelation! So well-rested and armed with new knowledge (on my part), we packed up our…
