When we began our Europe road trip back in May 2014 I told Craig I wanted to do a video every time we entered a new country…Craig wasn’t keen. I thought it would be a great idea to do each video in the accent of that country…Craig decided he didn’t like that idea either and…

Platypus Bush Camp | Pure paradise in Australia
Journal Snippet | November 2008 | Roadtrip from Mackay to Finch Hatton Gorge The night before our roadtrip the heavens opened and it totally pissed it down like a river falling out the sky. It was only for 30 minutes but the intensity caused the mighty falcon to leak badly and the drivers foot-well had…
Kelimutu Crater Lakes, Indonesia
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…
The best of our Europe Roadtrip
Looking back at the photos we took on our Europe roadtrip make us wish we were back on the road. I might of complained on hikes of being exhausted and sweaty but each and every one was worth the huff and puff for the incredible views they revealed. We’ve browsed through and picked our favourite…
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…
An abbey on an island, the ‘route du cidre’ and a church built in a tree
Mont-St-Michel is another of France’s major landmarks, and a very distinctive image. I’ve seen the photo numerous times; an island close to the mainland which has stone buildings leading up a hill with sharpe spires rising above it. I didn’t realise it was actually a town, albeit a minuscule one at that. The vast majority…
Quaint villages and quirky cafés in France
After the festive markets we drove north to Vitre. The town looked like a movie set; wonky half timbered houses were leaning towards the narrow alley and slanting down the roads. Roofs were rickety and all various shapes and sizes. We followed some cobbled lane ways and arrived in front of a huge gothic chateau….
Christmas markets in France
I adore Christmas, but we’ve ended up having quite a few of them abroad in very un-festive, sweaty and smelly countries eating a variety of curries and drinking iced coffee, not that thats a bad thing, we just prefer snow and mince pies. Europe has a lot of fab Christmas markets though and annoyingly we’ve…
