The Three Peaks hike in Prokletije National Park

They always say to keep the best for last, but when you're going on a roadtip, you'll never know when the best is coming. It's depending on so many factors, many of which you don't have control over, such as the weather for example. But on our trip through Montenegro we got lucky. Each day…

Crossing to border to Bosnia and Herzegovina to go rafting on the Tara River

When we were visiting Montenegro back in October last year, the touristic season in the country had already long passed. Everywhere they were preparing for winter and counting down the days until they'd have their holidays after a long and busy summer. While that meant a lot less tourists, that sadly also meant that we…

Exploring Kotor and hiking to St. John’s Fort

It's been a while since you've heard from me, I'm sorry. I've been quite busing planning our next trip to Peru. Due to political unrest in the country, it's taking up a lot more of my time than I would like to figure it all out and ensure we can travel through the country safely.…

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!…

Car rental in Montenegro and our stressful car return

One of the most essential things for a roadtrip is of course a car. Since we were flying from Brussels to Podgorica a rental car was one of the first things that had to be arranged. For a trip through Montenegro, I wouldn't opt for any other way then by car. It gets your very…

10 day roadtrip itinerary through Montenegro in autumn

As 2022 progressed and managed to throw some punches left and right in my personal life it became clear to me that international travel wouldn't be on the agenda this year. With the corona virus in the back of my mind as well,, I figured it would be a safer choice to stay closer to…

Two days of biking fun around the Mont Ventoux

I'm always up for an athletic challenge, as you may have noticed already. And if that challenge takes place abroad, you can definitely count me in. And that's how I ended up on top of the Mont Ventoux, by bike. To raise money for cancer research, a committee at work 'Move4Cancer' challenges the employees each…

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…

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…
