Since we bought our Defender Leni in February 2019, we did quite some road trips - in 27 different countries! Check them out here.
After around five weeks on the road across Turkey with our LR Defender camper, we decided to explore the Greek peninsula of Chalkidiki before returning home to Slovenia. Chalkidiki is known primarily for its three “fingers” that extend into the Aegean Sea, Athos, Sithonia and Kassandra, located in the northern part of the country with the nearest large city called …
Woohoo, we’re finally here! Sadly, we had to skip Cappadocia during our six-week road trip through the Caucasus in Autumn 2024, so this time (end of October 2025) we took a lot of time for it. We ended up staying for 9 days! So we really got to know this extremely interesting and world-famous Turkish region very well. We visited Cappadocia …
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 …
Last year’s road trip through France started in the north of Germany, from where we crossed Netherlands and the Belgian-French border in just one day. After a long day of driving we arrived to Normandy and spent the next days discovering its beautiful coastline, slowly moving west. At Mont-Saint-Michel, we crossed the virtual border into Brittany, which was actually our …
We chose France for our first real family road trip with Mila, who was 3 months old at the time. Afterall she is half French and it seemed like a good idea. Our final goal was to reach Ile de Re island, where we ended up staying a month while visiting Charlie´s family and friends, but instead of just rushing …
Often after returning home from trips, people ask which place we liked the most. And usually I never don’t have the answer to that question. But this time it´s different, because this time we can both give a clear answer, Albania. There were many moments when we felt like at home. Also, I have been wanting to go to Albania …
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 …
This year´s October trip took us to the south of Sweden. Why did we chose to go there in October? Because Lu has two weeks of autumn vacation at his German school at the time. And why Sweden? Because we found a cheap ferry ticket from Rostock, Germany, and because wild camping is allowed there. Just right for our Defender, …
2019 already waved goodbye and with this post we are remembering our adventures of the past year one more time. It was definitely not a boring one in terms of travel – we ended up visiting 18 countries on 3 different continents! Some of them with Lu and some of them just the two of us. Besides these really awesome …
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 …
While planing our trip from Slovenia back to our northern German home, an idea of a road trip crossed our mind. Unlike usually we had a bit more time, so we decided to do a proper winter road trip with our LR Defender. In 1 week we drove about 1200km, through the Italian Dolomites (where we skied a bit), over …
We finished this year´s epic road trip with driving through Baltic countries and thereby making a large circle in the northern Europe. We visited Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland for the first time ever which made this part of the trip even more exciting. Of course, we could have spent much more time in each of the countries but we …
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 …
Norway. Nature at its best. When everything glitters in sunlight, but also when everything is wrapped up in mystic fog. A paradise for everyone who loves mountains, rivers and lakes, forests, the sea, fishing, wild camping, peace and quiet. All those different landscapes and an amazing spectrum of green – blue shades of deep waters and hills has not disappointed …
Lofoten, Norway. Usually, I prefer to go somewhere south. But the cold north always ends up surprising me in a good way. I´ve travelled around Scandinavia as a teenager with a tent, but this time we visited Lofoten islands with our LR Defender, which we transformed into a camper. It´s nice up north. Peaceful and calm. And It takes your …
Denmark in just 4 days, is that even worth it? We say it is. And especially in the summer months when the days are long and you have a lot of daylight. Many people pass through here on their way to Scandinavia, but not many stop for more than one night – we are happy we had enough time to …
One, two, three, let´s go! Adios Germany. Well, at least for a while. A year, two, forever? Who knows. Some of you might have read I´ve quit my job, after a long consideration. Yesterday it was my last day at the office and yes, it felt a bit strange but so good at the same time. So now what? First, …
For this year´s longer Easter weekend we finally made it over to the Netherlands in the tulip season. We could not have picked a better time, the weather was sunny all the 4 days, with over 25C which is very unusual for this part of Europe. And having just returned from the Seychelles a couple of days before, we were …
