I absolutely love seeking out and photographing things in nature. The plant-world fascinates me and observing nature up close is one of my favourite things to do on hikes. Every country and area has a different climate, landscape and soil with different and yet sometimes similar plants, blooms and trees. When we went on a few walks and hikes […]
Hiking in Verdon
On one cloudy morning on our road-trip in Europe we drove back to the Gorges du Verdon to take a scenic hike down to the river below. We couldn’t find the start of the hike so we just walked up a random little mountain instead. Wild Herbs and Good Views This hike was almost like walking through a […]
Europe’s Most Beautiful Gorge
As a disclaimer, I’ll say that I haven’t been to all of Europe’s gorges. I’m certain that there are some really good ones out there. Nonetheless, the Gorges of Verdon still ranks pretty highly in my opinion. It could easily be Europe’s most beautiful gorge. It’s the kind of place that’s easy to imagine going back […]
On the Verdon River
Once I’d discovered that this place existed, I knew that it was one for the bucket list. I’d done Google image searches, hungry for more pictures. This landscape just has that sort of postcard-picture attraction. I think it was definitely the colour of the water that drew me in. We don’t really get that sort […]
Le Castillet, Perpignan
It was pretty sad to leave our campsite on the Mediterranean Spanish coast. But, it was time to move on. We had a long 700km drive ahead of us on the A9. Thinking back, we had a really great time in Spain! This was the first time I’d been to Spain (except for in the […]
Sagrada Familia, Barcelona
I recently posted about cool things to see in Barcelona. This Spanish city is well-known for its interesting architecture, notably the famous cathedral Sagrada Familia. This building is the most visited monument in the country. Here’s a little crash course on the architect and his creations. Antoni Gaudi The mastermind behind the design of the […]
Cool Things to See in Barcelona
Barcelona is not only a beautiful city, it’s funky, bustling, alive. It’s the biggest city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia. Because there’s so much going on and so many things to see in Barcelona, you’re bound to enjoy a trip to this metropolis. We caught the train in from near our campsite which saved us […]
Montserrat Cable Car
Hiking up Montserrat is a breathtaking experience that comes highly recommended. However, if you want to survive after the hike, make sure you’ve planned relaxing days that follow. Maybe take a trip to Barcelona and do a hop-on, hop-off bus adventure or hang out at the campsite with your feet up because this is a strenuous […]
Packing for a European Camping Trip
If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that I’ve been blogging my way through a epic nomadic getaways in Europe. We started in Paris and then followed the Atlantic coast southwards into Spain before going east. I’d love to do another trip like that again soon! It was really a memorable experience to travel through five […]
The Flowers of Montserrat
If I had included all the beautiful flowers that I found in the Spanish mountains, my blog post about the gorgeous hike up Montserrat would have been far too long! I’ve put together a collection of my favourite floral discoveries here for your perusal If you’re from Europe, you might not find these flowers as […]
