places and notes

Katja, Charlie & Lu. A Slovenian– French – German family of 3 who love the beach, nature hikes, camping, skiing, a tasty bite to eat and glass of good wine. Bustling street life in big cities is a must here and there as well. We avoid animal & theme parks and do our best to travel responsibly. With no 9-5 jobs at the moment, we are on a long-term road trip around Europe with our 19-year-old Land Rover Defender which we converted into a cozy home on wheels. Currently road tripping all around Europe, with occasional travels overseas.

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

With no regular jobs since June 2019, we´ve been balancing family life between Slovenia, Germany and France with squeezing in as many journeys around Europe and the rest of the world as we can. Limited by the current closed borders / obligatory quarantine regulations we´re trying to make the best of the situation with our Defender Leni the Landy – fingers crossed for things to get back to normal soon. Due to Covid-19, which massively affected our 2020 travel plans, we´re pretty spontaneous about when, how & where the road will take us.
