the beauty of a life of travel
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

There’s nothing like having your bags packed, boarding passes printed and passports ready for the journey ahead! It makes everything come into perspective, and it reminded me of how hungry my inquisitive mind, body, and soul was for new encounters.

At first, most of my dream destinations and places used to originate from classic adventure books.

After that, I discovered colourful images in glossy travel magazine pages, but nowadays I […]

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 […]

Happiness comes in many shapes and boarding a plane on a Saturday morning with two travel comrades by my side to one of Europe’s prime surf destinations, is unquestionably one of them. We have not visited France’s iconic southwestern town, and we have not marvelled at its iconic sandy beaches hemmed in by cliffs, yet […]

All we ever wanted – for as long as I remember – was to drive along the Portugals rugged West Coast with nothing but ocean on one side, with a few essential pieces of clothing in our backpacks, with no hotels to check-in or out and with our future unwritten. We have talked and dreamed […]

We rolled out of the car, stood up and slowly stretched towards the dark sky. Sun was still slightly below the horizon as we made our way towards the bay. It was Sunday morning, and instead of sleeping in and lazing around the rented house, we got up early, had light breakfast and drove to Mont Saint Michel […]
