With this post we conclude a series of stories we wrote about our camper trip to northern Spain in April 2022. These posts have systematically followed our itinerary: first driving through France, then lingering a bit longer in amazing San Sebastian, then three incredible days packed with highlights. We spent our last three days in …
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 …
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 …

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.

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 …
