the beauty of a life of travel
Inspired by the beauty of the world we live in, we are travellers and dreamers, just like many of our readers. In addition to travelling, we also take delight in blogging and communicating through storytelling. Although the mere thought of sharing your story on the internet can be daunting, it’s an amazing experience itself and […]

Just a few weeks ago, we were living our best lives. Between visiting our favourite beaches and nearby woods, popping in to see our neighbours and letting kids play together, getting ready to celebrate Ericeiras much-awaited 4th Birthday and our 18th anniversary which falls on St.Patrick’s Day and planning our future travels, it was all […]

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 […]

Although it was an early March, winter didn’t want to surrender any time soon as a thin layer of snow was still clinging to the icebound ground in Sligo and temperatures below zero were forecasted overnight. Dreary woodlands, filled with silence, were casting long and eerie silhouettes, a scene we were more than happy to swap […]

I was wide awake well before the alarm clock had a chance to let me know it’s 5 am yet the gleaming morning light was already peaking through one side of the curtains, spreading flickering shadows on the wall. House was soundless; everyone was still asleep and off in the distance, I could hear an aeroplane rumbling […]

As I sat in the backseat of a taxi, watching the world pass by, I was surprised by how strikingly different the usually familiar places looked at 4 am. Ever since I became a mom, being awake at that hour is nothing new to me, but travelling to Dublin Airport through the dark night, as […]

We may not be full-time travellers or digital nomads living the adventurous life that could put Crocodile Dundee and Indiana Jones to shame. And we may not start our mornings with a fresh coconut in our hands on a remote island whose name we can’t even pronounce, but every far-flung destination or staycation we choose […]

Sligo shaped us more than any other place in Ireland, and this is where our hearts beat faster. 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. Not to retrace other travellers footsteps, not in the slightest, but to ravel, in the stillness, only a small city […]

Happy New Year everybody and thanks so much for following along with our family adventures. With the end of 2019 in plain sight everyone tends to look back on the previous 12 months and so do we. We had grand plans for last year – some of them failed, others succeeded. In the end, what […]

Today marks a year since we started our blog and published our first post, how exciting is that? Yes, it’s been a whole year of blogging, editing, learning, growing, pouring out words and proofreading. And, thanks to the eventful festive season, the special day almost slipped by without us realising the anniversary had crept up. […]

On my recent trip to Edinburgh, there was rain, cancelled plans and a couple of blisters. But it was still perfect for me because visiting Edinburgh is all about finding new expressions and refreshing old experiences. The primary emotion that washed over me once the hissing doors of the bus shut behind my back and […]

With a population of more than a 1.5 million and a surface area of about 310.4 km² Munich is the capital of Bavaria and Germanies third largest city, right after Berlin and Hamburgh. Anyone that plans to visit – there’s more to Munich than pretzels, tight leather pants and beer. Munich is where old meets new and where the […]

I didn’t grow up hearing much about travel, but life has its unexpected ways to reveal what’s out there if only you know were to look. Very early in my childhood, I made the most significant discovery in life by walking into my local library. Most of the books I read back then shaped my […]
