places and notes

Katja, Charlie, Lu (11 yo) and Mila (1 yo). A Slovenian – French – German family, who love the beach and outdoor activities such as camping, skiing & hiking, but also enjoys to cook, to eat and drink something especially delicious. We do our best to travel sustainably and as ecologically as possible, we avoid animal and theme parks, but although we prefer nature, sometimes happy visit a big city as well. After almost eleven years of living abroad, we are back in Slovenia with Mila while Lu lives and goes to school in Germany.

Travel stories from 60+ countries on six continents and notes about road trips, overlanding, backpacking, hiking, camping, winter sports, beach holidays, authentic cultural & unique experiences, sustainable travel and more. Including city guides, itinerary ideas, planning guidance and practical information about local food, transport, accommodation & costs. Also focusing on family travel inspiration, sharing destination ideas and useful tips for travelling with kids, including thoughts & personal experiences about traveling as a single mom.

After almost 11 years abroad, we have recently moved to Slovenia, where we will be starting a house renovation project and kicking off a new business. We quit our 9-5 jobs in the summer of 2019 and have been balancing family life between Slovenia, Germany & France while squeezing in as many journeys around Europe with our LR Defender Leni the Landy and the rest of the world as we can ever since. Together with our savings, occasional remote work gives us the ultimate freedom to travel anytime and anywhere we want.
