Our alarm went off at 6am and after a few snoozes we reluctantly peeled our heavy eyes open. What a terrible night sleep that was, the wind made it feel like our we were in one of those plane simulators, rocking around in turbulence. As much as I wanted to lie in bed all day…

Roadtrip to the New Forest and a wild storm | England
“Let’s play a game Lauren…guess how many cars are behind Helga?” I roared with laughter, it was our first roadtrip in our 30 year old campervan and I peered in my mirror to see a queue of cars. Moments later a couple of pensioners squeezed into what could only be described as a drivable bobsleigh…
We bought a Vintage Campervan!
We did something a little crazy – we bought a new campervan. We actually bought it in Septmeber but these blogs are churning out slower than a snail in wet concrete. We’ve been keeping our eyes on the market for a while and then I spotted this beauty. A 1989 Talbot Express Rambler who’s the…
A great British Hike | Seaford to Eastbourne along the chalk cliffs
With lockdown easing in England we were able to catch the train to the coast for a full day hike along the chalk cliffs between Seaford and Eastbourne. It’s just a 45 minute train journey from us yet we started the day with a mad dash, running for the train and then sweltering in a…
Lockdown life in Sussex, England
We returned to the UK after two years backpacking, with the plan to work in a restaurant for 6-12 months, save up for our next trip and see friends and family, maybe even put some roots down. But things haven’t gone quite to plan. Corona virus came along and fucked things up. The restaurants we…
BEST DESTINATIONS FOR HIKERS WHO LOVE THE MOUNTAINS
We hadn’t really seen mountains before we started our travels back in 2008 and we certainly had no idea what it felt like to explore the great outdoors. It was something we’d never tried but we soon realised the beach towns didn’t give us the same amount of joy that a long hike through jungle…

The Blue Lagoon, Popeye Village and Gozo Island | Our stopover in Malta
It’s rare that we fly to a place without a plan but as we landed in Barcelona we did exactly that. Well, we had a rough idea, we wanted to visit Jordan and we found a cheap route via Malta so with very heavy eyes in Barcelona airport after a red eye flight we booked…
Our winter season in the Norwegian Arctic
After almost four months working in Norway it’s time for us to head off and get back to travelling. We‘re heading to Vancouver Canada, to buy a new van so we can do our third roadtrip across North America. We haven’t lived in a van since our Alaska to Florida trip in 2016 so we…
Kayaking through the frozen sea in Northern Norway
After three months back in the Arctic we’d only managed to get out on the kayaks once and that was in the peak of winter. We had very limited daylight, the sun wasn’t rising at all so after a bit of a pink hue touched the clouds the sky quickly darkened. The sea was completely…
