We rolled out of the car, stood up and slowly stretched towards the dark sky. The 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 a light breakfast and drove to Mont […]
Our first visit to County Donegal, where we stayed in Bundoran, visited Slieve League Cliffs and went surfing with TurfnSurf Surf school, felt like a rushed trip with way too much crammed into it. Various attractions and little villages we longed to finally see in County Donegal were connected by narrow country roads, and it […]
It was a near-perfect day on the rugged coast – blue sea and enough breeze to offset the heat of the flaming sun hanging high up in the cloudless sky. The beach may have been a little overcrowded, but it wasn’t long before we were in the water. Visiting Brittany, located in the northwest region […]
There’s nothing like a great coastline to get me excited about photography. Whether it’s the seagrasses graciously swaying in the sea breeze, secret caves lying beneath the steep clifftops or the ocean that’s groaning and gasping through the storms – coastal adventures are a great way to soak in the views and savour colourful sunsets. And that’s […]
I’ve been mesmerised by the views of Glencar Lake, laying in the middle of a hushed valley, for a very long time. I was drawn in by its serenity, and I loved how on a cloudless day, you can watch sunbeams touch the valley and the peaks of rolling hills. One place to see the […]
Every memorable adventure begins with a leap of faith and with not knowing how it will turn out in the end. This time two years ago, we took a plunge and bought a campervan – small enough to manage country roads and big enough, so we don’t feel on top of each other. Waking up […]
After all the road trips we’ve done in Ireland this year, exploring a naturally fertile southwest laden with stunning scenery is the one to take the prize. Firstly, it was because we were finally allowed to travel within the country. Second, the opportunity to devote our time to exploring Ireland’s Southwest corner. where we took […]
We’ve driven the Galway part of the Wild Atlantic Way many times over and for a good reason – every meter of the road brings you closer to traditional villages and beaches full of fantastic sea stacks. When we agreed to spend Valters 40th birthday in Galway, I knew we’d enjoy the time spent there […]
When I look back through time and space, the last year seem to have flown in a blink of an eye. This was the year I will look back on and remember climbing, surfing, exploring Sligo and living within these fleeting moments where summer flowers smelled like heaven, the air was deliciously crisp in autumn and […]
After a stormy summers day when the clouds hung heavy in the sky, and fat raindrops began to fall, the sun was finally glistening, and the horizon could be seen again, offering outstanding views over a Clew Bay – far surpassing anything a tour bus-bound visitor would ever see. County Mayo holds a special place […]
The infinite drizzle and a lack of colour make for a very gloomy atmosphere during the seemingly never-ending 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 that 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
