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 […]
The video (HD option) portrays part of the Eastern Highlands. Scotland’s warm soul Most of the pictures in the video are taken in Aberdeenshire & the Cairngorms National Park. Here we came across the following poem carved into stone: Take a moment to behold as still skies or storms unfold. In sun, rain, sleet or […]

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

Overland travel & off-roading in Poland with an expedition truck – Video & Tips
As always we attended the Abenteuer & Allrad Expo in Bad Kissingen, Germany. Our group was immense this year: 18 vehicles! To get an impression of what took place this year, we put a short slideshow together
BAD OMEN It’s a warm spring evening and we’re enjoying cold drinks with our friends Holger and Moni. In two days we’re making our way to Poland. We will leave a day earlier because we want to make a stop near Berlin. Around 10:30PM a phone call put us all into action. We fill up […]
“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 […]
2nd article in our “Follow you dreams” series: Set goals & be concrete, so you live the life you chose instead of one that someone else decided for you
“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 […]

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 […]

Baraque Michel is third highest point of Belgium (674m / 2,211 ft). The Baraque itself is an inn and […]
Notwithstanding the very sad events that just took place in Berlin, we would like to remember the positive spirit of the German Christmas Markets and wish you happy holidays! This month we visited two Christmas Markets (called “Weihnachtsmarkt”) in Germany: One in Frankfurt and one medieval one at the Castle in Ronneburg. Family and two […]
As promised we made a short video of our number 1 bush camp. It’s a riverbed, located in Italy, near the Slovenian border. A place where you don’t see a soul, just the wild animals living around you. At home in nature It was early October when we spend a week here. Although the nights were […]
