the beauty of a life of travel
Even though we have been travelling together for over 16 years, we’ve bearly scratched the surface. And, since our little one arrived into this world three and a half years ago, it’s all about embracing the art and engraving the importance of travelling slower and deeper. That’s why we made a conscious decision to spend […]

I have spent half of my life with a book in my hand. In my childhood, I passionately followed colourful characters like Huckleberry Finn, Phillies Fog and couldn’t get enough of Moomin Family adventures. I loved and still very much like to re-read everything from J.F.Cooper and Mark Twain to Jack London and Ridjar Kipling. […]

The infinite drizzle and a lack of colour make for a very gloomy atmosphere during the seemingly neverending winter months on Ireland’s West Coast. And as much as I love the smell, the sound and the feel of the rain and as much as I have learned to love it, I was more than happy […]

Walking around Seville on a cold and gloomy day with spitting rain wasn’t what we had in mind while planning a trip to a city which is known to have a fantastic climate and gorgeous blue sky. When I close my eyes and imagine Andalusia, swirling red dresses, never-ending sunshine and blossoming orange trees lining […]

From the moment we landed in Portugal to the moment that we left, every fibre of my thirsty soul was filled with this infinite energy that would make my head spin. Travelling to Portugal provided so much beauty and wonder that we couldn’t have had a better experience. We were exposed to a world of such […]

Valters and I are great travel buddies because, in many ways, we are so alike. We are both drawn to natural beauty and places where lack of modern technology forces you to go outside and just be, we both can lay ourselves bare without much thought, and we both require a certain amount of spontaneous […]

I am growing to understand that we are nowhere near a finish line when it comes to exploring the northern part of Ireland, which offers a perfect setting for a family adventure. Especially as we started travelling in a campervan; it has opened up many doors and opportunities from visiting lesser know parts to meeting […]

After years of travelling around Ireland and Europe, we decided that it was the right time to go further to explore other continents. Trying to persuade each other that Alaska (Aiva’s idea)or South America(Valter’s idea) is just the place to go, we came up with an unflawed compromise – summer holidays in Canada. For the […]

Today is my favourite day ever and not only because it’s Saturday. Today we are travelling to Portugal, a country that has a way of working its magic into your heart, and I can’t wait to see our favourite places face to face again. Portugal is an endlessly fascinating place, and we can never get enough of it, […]

One of those things that would never lose value for me personally is time spend travelling and exploring the world together with my family. Travel inspires me to jump out of bed before the sunrise, encourages me to spend that extra hour at work and to say no to material things. There’s legitimately nothing better […]

It’s no secret we love to travel. Travel provides absolutely everything we crave out of our lives – endless adventure, love, excitement, happiness, connection and purpose. Travel helps us to focus our attention on beautiful and mighty things that surround us and travel taught us to cherish moments that we share with others and to look […]

Just over forty minutes by plane from Dublin is a place I try to see once a year and have always considered my second home. I never tried to conceal the fact that somewhere between living there, moving back to Ireland and revisiting Edinburgh city over the last 12 years, it slowly grew on me. I know […]

Behind the scenes of every photo you see on social media, be it hiking the Stairway to Heaven in Hawaii or driving the Great Ocean Road in Australia, are lots and lots of hours spent planning and preparing. As dull as it may sound, properly sorting out flights, visas, passports, accommodation, vaccinations and travel insurance […]

Nearby beach, usually swarmed by sunbathers and swell seekers, was uncommonly vacant. From a distance, it appeared as if she was resting in between undisturbed moments, so pure, so thoughtful and thus untouchable. The bright sun was high up in the sky, yet the sudden ocean breeze could steal the warmth at any moment. I […]

Canada conquered our hearts, minds and souls right away, in fact, she did not even have to try hard. We are admittedly drawn to places where nature has the upper hand and where wilderness is gratifyingly unmatched to anything we have witnessed before. Seeing the Canadian Rockies rise out of Earth was experiencing nature on […]
