We spent our last three days in …
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 …
Le Dune du Pilat: a record-breaking pile of sand in Southern France.
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? …

The discovery of Our World’s Heritage in Northern France. Part 1 – cathedrals, belfries and a medieval city.
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 …

Our guide to The Algarve in 5 days
When we traveled to Portugal in the summer of 2020, the entire expedition wasn’t without restrictions and risks.
