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 …
Those of you who have been following our blog for a while, know we like to camp. The freedom of going to different places, staying a bit longer where you like it or just chasing the good weather: for us it’s the best way of traveling. We also like to explore: resting is for a …
When we traveled to Northern Spain in April of 2022, we had to cross the whole of France to get there. It took us two full days of driving to reach the French southern districts, but it was all worth the dull road time, since we had planned a short lay-over near Biscarrosse. Our goal? …
Winter is coming, autumn is here already. The time for warm sweaters, a cosy fireplace, hot soup and colourful forest walks. And a perfect time to travel as well. Since we both work in education, and our daughter also has to attend school, we are limited to school holidays to satisfy our wanderlust. Last year, …
In an attempt not to forget some of our older travel memories, we sometimes write posts featuring travel stories from many years ago. Currently, I (Maarten) am documenting a group trek up Mount Kilimandjaro that I did in 2004, based on a number of diary entries. When I was younger, I had the habit to …
A few years back, we went camping in Wales during our fall holiday. Those who have been following our adventures for a while know we had some serious issues with moist during that trip. Due to COVID-19 camping is hotter than ever and we see a lot of people exploring Europe in a campervan or …
One of the principal purposes of this website is to document our travels, both solo and as a family. Old stories might have lost most of their practical use for current travel plans, but they still deserve to be told. Maybe out of nostalgia, maybe for reasons of comparison, or just because we do not …
A few months ago, we started a two-post recap of our 2013 autumn visit to the north of France with an account of our impressions of the medieval city of Provins and the cathedrals of Amiens, Chartres and Reims. The focus of this trip was on relaxation (in the first place) and the discovery of …
The original name of our blog – ourworldheritage.be – resulted from an idea that came up back in 2010, when we both became inspired by a reference work about UNESCO world heritage sites around the world. Our aim at that time, to visit as much of these sites in our joint lifetime, has never been …
This blogpost is about a trip we took 10 years ago, when Febe was just 1 year old. We decided to rent a holiday home in the Provence, together with some friends and their tiny children. We combined this week with a small roadtrip getting to and from the Provence. On the way there, we …
