We travelled from Georgia to Armenia in a shared taxi that drove like an absolute nutter. He was driving so fast that the police pulled him over and the first thing the driver asked was “skull ka?” which means how much? Who knows if it was a bribe or an official fine. We found a…

First impressions of Georgia | Food tasting and sulphur baths
Georgia has been on our bucket list for a few years now so we’re pretty excited to finally explore the country. We delayed our trip here so that the snow could melt and we’d be able to hike but as we landed in Kutaisi the weather wasn’t quite what we expected. Not only was it…
Backpacking Montenegro | Our first national park and a traditional train ride
Now that the world is opening up again after covid it’s time for us to explore some new countries. With heavy hearts we decided to sell Helga our campervan after a year long roadtrip around the UK, Ireland and Spain so we could travel further afield and embrace backpacker life again. Helga sold in less…
Driving through France and a strange encounter with the police
We’ve given ourselves 6 day’s to drive through France to catch our ferry back to England. We’d of liked to of spent longer in Spain but alas the rules after Brexit mean we’re limited to 90 day’s. The border crossing was a breeze and we just drove straight though to the French side. We had…
Epic peaks, baby goats and cheese tasting in Asturias, Spain
After five days of perfect blue skies in northern Spain we woke to drizzle. I was kind of happy because it meant we could have a chill day which we really needed after hiking so much since we arrived. So we had a lazy breakfast of banana and chocolate pancakes before we drove to Arenas…
Preparing our campervan for Spain and a 30 hour ferry to get there
After an 8 month roadtrip around the UK and Ireland we were itching to go further afield so we decided a while back that we’d try and head to Spain for winter. It worked out well that we’d return back to England beforehand to see family for Christmas and we had a lot of bits…
Atlantic swimmming, Irish music session and a holy mountain | Ireland
We had planned on hiking a mountain near Achill Island but low cloud covered the tops for most of the day so we gave up and hit the road until we reached Westport. It was such a colourful town with shop-fronts painted different colours and a lovely font used on each sign, giving the place…
Returning to our old stomping grounds | Arisaig, Scotland
We lived in Scotland back in 2014, it was an impromptu decision after quitting our job (which included accommodation) on the spot. The next day we packed our life into our little banger of a car and drove to the New Forest to camp in a tent while we figured things out. We ended up…
Exploring the Jurassic Coast | England
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…
