From buckets of rain to brilliant sunshine in San Sebastian, Spain

It's crazy to witness how fast the weather can change from one opposite to the other. When we arrived in the city of San Sebastian, or as it is known in Basque language; Donostia, dark gray clouds were not just threatening to drop their load. They did, full force. All evening and night. But then…

Fast exploration of Bilbao – one evening and one morning

A few years ago a friend of mine told me that one of her favorite trips she'd ever taken was to the North of Spain and Bilbao. For reasons unknown we didn't discuss it in dept, but ever since that conversation this city had been on my radar. Our initial plans of a roadtrip through…

Riding along the coast of Biscay and Basque Country, Spain

Peak moments in the Picos de Europa

No great September without a good roadtrip and this year was no different! With corona still not entirely out of our lives, I once again opted to depart from home rather than fly somewhere and rent a car on location. This way we were always able to go home in a worst case scenario. Fortunately…

A quick trip along the Cote d’Azur

September has come and gone again, but definitely not without me exploring a bit of the world, as per usual! No travel in September is a big no go in my book! Ha! It’s tradition by now! Those following my Facebook page have already had an insight in my whereabouts the past couple of weeks,…

Luxembourg; castles, rock formations and an intriguing capital

Luxumbourg. Belgium's tiniest neighbor and the country you pass through on your way to Germany or Austria. That's what I knew of this country until a couple of months ago. And what a shame that lack of knowledge was! Covid-19 once again made me look for travel options closer to home and made me discover…

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…
