No TV, no Netflix! So how do we keep ourselves entertained around our overland truck, aside from the occasional movie or reading a book? Games! The games we took along can be played with 2 or more.

Photography, it wasn’t something either of us were particularly interested in before. Of course we appreciated a beautiful picture.

Picking up on the underlying assumption of the question, my immediate internal reaction was…
Camping in the Ardennes
A tent, a sleeping bag and an a “crazy” aunt ;-). All the ingredients for a fun week in the Belgian Ardennes. This past week I -Nicole- was in the Belgian Ardennes with family. It was the first time camping for my nephew (11) and niece (8). We had to make it a success! “Wait one […]
Overland travel: Bikes for sale?
It’s Sunday 11AM. We fill up 4 bottles with a mix of water and juice. It ‘s already 28°C and the sun is shinning bright. Once our skin is well protected we jump on our bikes. Why these mountain bikes? The last 2 years – except from a regular walk – we have been neglecting […]

Before we left for our big adventure we identified 6 primary options, each with it benefits and drawbacks: Laundromat or other laundry services Laundy machine at a caravan/rv park Shower or sink (on board or at a camp site) Wide neck drum Hand or foot […]
Setting up camp in Romania
We’re now 2 weeks in Romania and we stay here for a while longer. Time to set up camp.

Interview in the Standaard Magazine
Lien Lammar, a Belgian journalist we worked with in the past, asked us if we were willing to work with her once more on a project. This time it was about Tiny Houses. Since we had such a positive experience last time working with her, we agreed. The interview together with the picture, taken by Ann […]
Our next destination: Romania

Overland travel & Freedom to Play
Overland travel and creating the freedom to play, to make people’s eyes sparkle, to be curious about new or unusual things, to simply enjoy the moment without any other purpose
Time spent on the road
It’s almost 8:30 PM when the meeting with my accountant is finally over. But the day is not over yet, I still have a 4-hour drive ahead of me. While changing from high heels into more comfortable converse, my stomach starts to protest. At a traditional Belgian “Frietkot” I treat myself to delicious Belgian fries with Samourai […]
