Cycling along the L’Eau d’Heure Lakes and in the south of Hainaut

Soooo, the ban to cross the Belgian borders is still in effect - and constantly up for debate -, so that means it's time for another episode of my series called 'Tourist in your own country'. This time once more in combination with my series of 'Tourist à vélo' and in the province of Hainaut.…

Hoge Kempen National Park; a long overdue visit to Connecterra and Mechelse Heide

March 2021. Almost an entire year since the first lockdown and corona is still a prominent part of our daily lives. With the entire Belgian vaccination campaign not running as smoothly as promised, it looks like we'll be in this situation for quite a bit longer... But I've managed to flip the switch. Instead of…

On the hunt for winter scenery in Hainaut, Belgium

For the past seven years, ever since I started working, February has been my travel month. In February, I just have to go somewhere, anywhere! It's one of those things that gradually happened, but now after all those years, it has become a tradition. Until now. It's February 2021, and I'm being held hostage in…

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…

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…

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…

Hiking trip to the French Ardennes

I admit it. I'm addicted. I've gotten a taste of something, liked it - a lot - and now I can't get enough of it. I'm very quickly falling in love with France and quick trips across the border and now I can't stop myself from planning my next trip even when another one isn't…
