Visiting Sri Lanka has been on our bucket list for many years. I recently went through our travel documents again and it turns out we started researching this trip already in 2018! Due to some unexpected practical/timing issues (we had to renew our passports, which took much longer than expected), we weren’t able to go …

Highlights of Praslin
In April of 2023, we headed out in search of paradise. The Seychelles are an island nation in the Western Indian Ocean, consisting of an archipelago of tiny islands and they are also just that: paradise!

From Bilbao to Burgos: a camper van roadtrip in Northern Spain
April of 2022 will be forever in our memories as the moment we went on our first camper van roadtrip. For previous road trips in Europe, we always had our Fjällräven tunnel tent to rely on. We even once rented a rooftop tent, which turned out to be a one-time experiment though, since the effect …
Why we fell in love with San Sebastian…
Last year (that’s 2022 if you are reading this a few years from now), we went on a road trip to Northern Spain during the Easter holidays. The general idea of this trip was double: first of all, we had never been to this area before, so we set out to explore it. Secondly, we …
