As soon as we jumped out of the campervan, I could sense the captivating power of the Atlantic ocean. The refreshing breeze brushed against my cheeks, and after a brief moment, exposed to nature’s beauty, my senses erupted.

We love wandering through forests and spend time on the secluded beaches where blowings of the wind create the sand into collective structures. In recent years we had a chance to visit Mullaghmore, a beautiful fishing village […]

A week before we left for France a photo popped up on our Instagram feed with an impossibility beautiful street full of little shops and half-timbered houses that we swore we gonna track it down.
