Morocco: Did we get stuck in the sand?

Featured Video Play Icon

Alone on the road … deciding each day what we want to do, what to cook and where to watch the evening sky. That is what we love to do and that is how we ended up in Morocco. No exact route planned in advance…only Elmer’s ten-year-old Morocco memories guiding us. No ferry booked beforehand […]

Overland travel: More than a pretty body

My dear fellow travelers, I have been “suggested” not to write this post. But stubborn as I can be, I do it anyway 🙂 . I believe it’s my responsibility towards you, whom I try to inspire and inform, to go beyond posting only the umpteenth sunset picture. So here it is.  #vanlife In April […]

Looks are deceiving …

Pradena, a tiny village in the Province of Segovia, Spain. A town we would normally not have noticed, except ….   It’s the end of November when we drive, with what now feels like a monster of an expedition truck, through Pradena. Where did all the people go? The streets are totally empty. All the […]

ON THE ROAD TO PORTUGAL

Overland Travel: The Wrath of Wales

Hedgerows We love Wales. Its beauty has surprised us in many ways (wait until you see the pictures & video). But there is a major downside to traveling through Wales when your vehicle is wider than a living horse-powered carriage, which once frequented these scenic roads. 450.000 km of hedgerows criss-cross the UK’s countryside. Their […]

Overland Travel: A Perfect Day in Scotland

Terratrotter in Scotland | A perfect tearoom

Loch an Eilein We wake up 100metres from Loch an Eilein, located within the Cairngorm National Nature Reserve. The sun is already out.

What we tend to forget about freedom

“1940 – I’m 17 years when the war begins…” May 4th, 2017 – I have a few white pages with text in my hand. The pages contain Daan’s story of World War II, at least the short summary of it. He was not a boy, not yet a man when the war broke out. “November […]

Travel navigation: Which road to follow?

“How do you know which road to take?” “Where do you find the off-the-beaten-path?” “How do you plan your route?” … People have asked us these questions more than once. And to be honest we were bad in answering them. Strange isn’t it? These questions seem to be fairly simple, right. What is the problem […]

Overland Travel: With love

2.5 years ago I met Elmer while he was working. Since then I created the habit of writing him a tiny love letter on a paper napkin when I’m, once again, one of his passengers. Tomorrow (4th of february) Elmer has to work on his Birthday, but I will not be on the plane sneaking […]
