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

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… Continue reading On the hunt for winter scenery in Hainaut, Belgium
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… Continue reading The coastline of Istria – Croatia
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… Continue reading The inland of Istria – Croatia
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.

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… Continue reading Stormchasing in La Cité des Pierres – Montpellier-le-Vieux
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… Continue reading Exploring the gorgeous trails at Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval
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… Continue reading A two day trip through the Jura region – France
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… Continue reading Hiking trip to the French Ardennes
Hiking to the famous Trolltunga viewpoint
After my friends and I had decided that our travel destination for 2019 would be the beautiful Scandinavian country Norway, we immediately began the discussion about whether or not we would accept the challenge to hike to one of the most famous views in the country; Trolltunga. Trolltunga is a rock cliff that horizontally juts… Continue reading Hiking to the famous Trolltunga viewpoint
