Journal snippet | December 2009 | Flores Island. We waited beneath the ever warming sunshine for a Bemo (an Indonesia minibus) but as always they only appear when you don’t need one. We eventually gave up and decided to walk 3km uphill to the bus stop in Bajawa. Our backpacks were weighing us down and we…

Our Incredible Europe Roadtrip Video…
Ever wondered what it would be like to drive through Europe? Well here’s your chance! Craig and I spent 7 months driving across 23 countries and exploring some phenomenal places. During the roadtrip I sporadically stuck my arm out the window and took snaps of the road ahead. The scenery blew us away, let’s see…
Top 5 places to revisit
We try to never make decisions that we will regret…but I’m a terrible decision maker and Craig isn’t much better, so it’s inevitable that there’s a few things we’ve missed out on. Maybe we’ve made some bad choices in the past, but when you travel for such a long period of time it’s hard to…
Life in our campervan | One crazy Europe roadtrip
So, 7 months and 23 countries later, and we are back on British soil just in time for Christmas. Europe has blown us away, it’s right on our doorstep and just waiting to be explored beyond the much visited cities. It’s the varied cultures, diverse scenery and cute villages that have wowed us and it’s…
Incredible rock formations and deep canyons in northern Spain
After some thought we have decided to head home for Christmas – our first with the family in 6 years. This has meant shortening our trip slightly, and we won’t see as much of Spain as we’d hoped, maybe we’ll come back in the future, it’s a huge country to explore. So what we will…
Remember when: We had lunch with a Rhino
We didn’t have any bus break down’s in our entire 4 months in India. Yet the first bus we took in Nepal broke down and was deemed a piece of scrap metal. We left the other hopeful passengers and sucked up another fare on a different bus…which also broke down. Eventually, we made it to…
Whale safari in Norway – success!!
Andenes lies at the most northern point of Andoya island (north east of the Lofoten Islands) and roughly 400km above the arctic circle. The area of islands is called ‘Vesteralen’ and is home to more sheep than people. The scenery is less dramatic than Lofoten, but it’s blessed with being only an hour boat ride…
The mighty hike to Trolltunga
The hike to Trolltunga is said to take 8-10hrs, it’s 22km return, and 900m elevation gain, but you are rewarded with the incredible ‘trolls tounge’ at the end. I wasn’t too keen on the idea, my longest hike was probably in the sweltering jungle of Nepal searching for rhinos for about 30km on foot, it…
A hike to Norway’s top attraction
On the opposite side of Lysefjord is Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) which is said to be the top tourist attraction in Norway and one of the best views in the world. So we got a car ferry across from Lauvvik to Oanes and took the road up to a carpark. What a difference from our hike…
Brown pants moment – Kjerag Boulder
The past few nights I’ve been picturing myself standing on the Kjerag boulder and dying. There were a few options of how exactly I would die: 1. The classic ‘Lauren’ – trip on my shoelace, stumble, die. 2. Slipping on the rock, and holding on to the edge of the boulder for dear life, Craig…
