Tips & tricks about all camping related topics and all our (wild) camping trips with our tent and / or our Defender.
In October 2025, we set off on a new overland route east with our LR Defender camper, but since we had a total of seven weeks of time, we could afford another short plane trip in between. Lukas, my oldest son, had just two weeks of school holidays at the time and we wanted to spend it together, somewhere warm. …
The summer of 2025 has officially begun for us, even though it’s already October. Jokes aside, but it is true that we haven’t even swam in the sea this year. Dipping our toes in the sea May in Piran does not really count. In July, we finally moved into our house, after three long and rather stressful years of renovation. …
I admit, this time I have a problem with how to put all the feelings after such a crazy trip into words. How to present these beautiful countries in the best possible way, because we had a really great time and because this trip exceeded all our expectations. No exaggeration. It was unique. Wonderful. Unrepeatable. 40 days. Around 11,000 kilometers. …
We entered Armenia, the last of the six countries on this almost 6-week overland trip from Slovenia to the Caucasus and back with our LR Defender camper on the first day of September. We ended up staying a little over one week in this interesting country, which, I would say, is just enough to see all the most important sights …
After ten days on the road from our home town of Kranjska Gora in Slovenia, we arrived in Georgia, one of the two final destinations of this almost 6-week road trip, along with Armenia. We spent a total of 16 days in Georgia, first visiting the seaside Batumi, then Svaneti region with the towns of Mestia, Ushguli and Mazeri, later …
We finally made it! After cancelling it back in 2019 due to health issues, postponing it in 2020 due to the pandemics and postponing it again due to pregnancy and baby in 2021, we finally did it in 2022. An epic Balkan road trip with our Defender that is. It was well deserved I believe, and we really had a …
The already popular vanlife lifestyle has literatelly exploded recently. Not surprisingly though, due to the situation we are in since the global pandemic started in spring 2020. DIY projects of converting vans and cars into camper vehicles, purchases of larger vans and motorhomes, as well as caravans, off-road and overland vehicles are on the rise while many of us believe …
Wind in your hair, good company, a stack of food and drinks, a few books, endless roads ahead and loads of good vibes. Is there anything better? Mostly, road trips are my favourite way of travel. Sure, I also don’t mind a few relaxing days in a hotel here and there and I have had some awesome backpacking trips too, …
Snowy landscape, open fire, stars in the sky, good company, tasty food and drinks, a warm blanket and all the peace in this world. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it´s exactly how winter camping can look like. It can of course look completely different on some days and it surely is not always easy. And because road trips and …
Cooking on camping trips – for some it´s necessary and inevitable, for other it´s the highlight of the day. Anyhow, we all agree we need to eat something and in this new post I´ve put together a list with descriptions of the equipment we use for cooking on camping and overland trips. From pots to stoves and other little things. …
Cooking on camping trips can be a nightmare for many and many think it is close to impossible to cook something more than a bowl of spaghetti or scrambled eggs on a small gas or electric stove outside in the nature. But I assure you, with a little creativity and imagination, you can cook almost anything, especially if you have …
While physically still trapped in out small apartment, our thoughts are with new overland adventures which will hopefully take place at least in the summer if not before. Finally I found the time to write a little bit more about how and what we cook on our road trips and over and travels – here is a post about which …
Holidays ín the great outdoors are a good counterweight to our everyday busy city life. Also for us. On camping holidays and trips we spend the whole day outside on fresh air, surrounded by nature offering us endless possibilities for different activities. The usage of electronic devices drops to an absolute minimum, you and your kids make a bunch of …
Looking for somewhere to spend a weekend with our dear friends from Frankfurt, the Kellerwald-Edersee national park, not too far from the city of Kassel, caught our eye. It is geographically conveniently situated between our homes and it turned out to be a great place for a longer Spring weekend camping trip. It is also one of the last beech …
For our way back up to Germany from Slovenia this December we were less limited with time compared to the past years. So we decided to use this opportunity and make a short road trip out of it. A skiing / camping road trip through the Italian Dolomites and onwards to Austrian Tirol & German Romantic Road that is. Due …
5 weeks. 8 countries. 8000 kilometres. 1 great car. And 2 happy people. A huge bag of new memories and loads of new adventures. Here is a new post about the places we went to and the countries we visited during this long road trip. And also about what we liked and not, about transport, food, the weather and last …
Have you ever been to the German Baltic coast? Probably not, right? Well, we´ve been quite a few times and I have to say it is pretty nice even though the sea is much too cold for my spoiled Mediterranean soul. It was the first September weekend and the weather was still looking good so Lu and me packed up …
After almost 2 months of travelling from busy SINGAPORE, over paradise COOK ISLANDS, hopping the wonderful YASAWA islands on FIJI and exploring volcanos and ancient tribes on TANNA in Vanuatu, we were facing THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS of our trip. And for that we chose this amazing island in Vanuatu. Which quite unexpectedly turned out to be one of …
Not so long ago, it was still kind of planned that we pack up our “summer clothes” and drive off to SYLT – a German island I´ve been really eager to visit ever since I moved over here. But then, well, as we by now probably all know, plans changed. It would have been a long drive by myself and …
