While we don’t usually say “no” to a nice glass of wine, what we love most about living in the middle of wine country is strolling through the soft, rolling hills, lined with vines whose colours transform throughout the year. Whether early morning, in the peak of the afternoon or at sundown, whether spring, summer […]
Are you looking to find your all-year-round hiking destination in Georgia? Lush forests and waterfalls in a subtropical climate? Seaside vibes and a city that looks like an amusement park? Granted, the last one is probably a bit niche in terms of what people commonly desire on their travels, nonetheless: Adjara has you covered in […]
Koruldi Lakes is one of the most accessible high altitude hikes in Svaneti, but don’t let anybody convince you it’s not worth the effort. Camping overnight at Koruldi Lakes is one of my most treasured experiences while travelling through Europe and Asia to Kyrgyzstan. Caroline might not agree with me due to the thunder and […]
The end of October is usually the time for our annual hike up Schneeberg to spend the last night of the hiking season at Fischerhütte, on the top of the mountain. This year we went to Italy instead and so I’ve decided to wistfully write about… all the reasons why you should never set foot […]
Ushguli is one of the essential reasons intrepid travellers yearn for Georgia. It’s the highest continually inhabited village in all of Europe. Actually, it’s a group of five villages nestled at an impressive 2100 meters elevation. Situated at the head of the Enguri valley, a stones throw away from Shkara glacier, where, even in the […]
It’s the last few days of our epic hitchhiking trip from Vienna all the way to Marrakesh. Our first destination was the Green Lake in Styria. Since then we’ve travelled through Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Portugal and finally Morocco. The last days are not quite going to plan but that’s okay; we’ve had some incredible […]
The sun is beating down, sand wisps across the empty road, we’re in the desert, in Merzouga. We’re on the way to Tinghir where we’ve rented a private room for the night. Tinghir is the home to one of the most famous spectacles of nature in Morocco, Todra Gorge. Not to mention a vast oasis […]
Merzouga, synonymous with the Sahara desert in Morocco. It’s the gateway. The Sahara Desert is every traveller’s dream, representing the ultimate adventure in an environment seemingly too hostile to support life. However, humans have defied the laws of nature for thousands of years and life has flourished in these hostile lands. We travelled over mountains, […]
Fez. A truly crazy place. Situated in the mountains and desert of Morocco. It contains the worlds largest Medina, and while it can be very intimidating, it’s also wildly rewarding considering the architecture, the smells, the food, the characters and the colours. Fez is a drug, a stimulant, it’s the volume turned up to 11. […]
Welcome to Chefchaouen, one of the, if not the, most mesmerising cities we’ve ever visited. A city high in the Riff mountains of Morocco with a winding Medina where every house is painted a shade of blue. It sounds kitschy but the result is a piece of paradise, a sort of heaven on earth. Truthfully, […]
