Stunning views from the Lovcen National Park

When I'm driving down a coastline, I'm not used to finding a national park with high altitudes closeby. But in Montenegro, where it seemed hard to find a flat surface, this was one of the highlights of our coastal drive. Nested between Budva and Kotor, the Lovcen National Park offers a nature escape from all…

Grand Canyon of Europe: Gorges du Verdon

The Grand Canyon of Europe. The only tagline I needed to convince me that visiting the Gorges du Verdon should be on my list of must-see places. Last September I traveled to the Provence with my work colleagues, for a challenge of climbing the Mont Ventoux. But since that trip only lasted a couple of…

Exploring Skadar Lake by boat

When you end up in the ER little over a day before you're leaving on a holiday, plans have to change. At first I thought a total cancellation would be in order, but the damage fortunately wasn't as big as I initially thought. A casting tape around the knee and we were good to go!…

What to do on a non-skiing holiday in the French Alps? – part 1

While many, many bloggers are way more well-traveled than I am, I'm still pretty satisfied with the amount of places I've already been able to scratch off my travel bucket-list. There of course are still a ton of destinations on that list, but this time around the actual destination wasn't a thing I was ticking…

Highlights of Puglia, Italy, in two days

When we left for Italy early November last year, the plan was to explore Napoli and the Amalfi Coast. Nothing was booked in advance and due to a few days of less good weather, we finished our checklist of sights over there sooner than expected. Now what? The weather around Napels wasn't going to get…

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…

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…

From Oslo to Odda in two days

After our visit to the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, it was time to really hit the road and start our trip through Norway. Finally! Our main event of our trip was going to be the hike to Trolltunga on Monday. We left Olso Saturday before noon so we had two days to make it…

The highlights of Norway’s Capital: Oslo

For me this trip was my very first time traveling to Norway, so I was really excited to discover its capital as I had already fallen in love with the other Scandinavian capitals Stockholm and Copenhagen. But one of my friends who was traveling with me had already been to Norway a couple of years…

Norway and its Fjords; a two week roadtrip

It's that time of the year again; the end of September! Which means that I've just returned from another one of my travels - there is a pattern, guys, there is! - and I have a lot of amazing experiences to share with you. This year around my September destination was the beautiful country of…
