October 10, 2022 – A long time ago, we slept our first night on Greek soil. We had exchanged the travel mode for ‘vanlife mode’. We parked near the city of Loannina on the shore of a lake that simply radiated pure tranquility. We were welcomed by two large dogs who played quite rambunctiously with …
We didn’t know at all what to expect from Montenegro. But Albania is a different story. Although still relatively unknown, we already read many lyrical and praising comments about Albania online.

Sometimes Slovenia seems to be one big forest. Our first choice was to go to Bled, near the Triglav National Park. The disadvantage is that …
On September 17, the time had finally come: Nigel was ready to leave and all our affairs were in order, we could leave with peace of mind. That weekend, a final visit to Nikki’s family was scheduled. Just put the tires on the right pressure, they had forgotten that at the tire center, and then …
