We spent 4 days in Istanbul in November 2019, 1 day with Mila in May 2023, in summer 2024 we drove through the Black Sea Coast region on our way to Georgia and returned through Eastern Anatolia later on. In 2025 we drove to Cappadocia and returned back up along the coast. We love Turkey, we will be back soon!
41 days, around 8000 kilometers, 8 countries, two plane flights, one mom, one dad, a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old. And of course our faithful Land Rover Defender camper. Lots of wild camping. Beautiful beaches. Juicy melons and crispy bread. Colorful hot air balloons over dramatic landscapes. The friendliest locals. Dirty hands and torn pants. From our home base in Slovenia …
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 had something special planned for the second half of this year’s summer. A 5-6 week road trip to Georgia and Armenia and back to Slovenia. With our Defender converted into a camper, with 3-year-old Mila and then 6-month-old Leo. A nightmare for some, but an unforgettable adventure for us. From Slovenia, the route led us through Croatia, Serbia and …
3,2,1 let’s go. Finally, our first real road trip with Mila and baby Leo. Somewhere far away. And for as many as 5 weeks. Even though I am on maternity leave, which lasts one whole year in Slovenia, it wasn’t easy to get these 5 weeks off. When you are renovating a house, there is always something, and we are …
Have you heard of Touristanbul? Such a great option for everyone who travels via Istanbul Airport and has a longer layover between two flights. Exactly one week ago, we were returning home from Doha, Qatar via Istanbul, and since we were flying with Turkish Airlines and had a longer stopover before our flight to Ljubljana, we happily joined this free …
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 …
Istanbul. This magical city rich in history and full of diversity, a city which has a one of a kind geographical location (partly in Europe and partly in Asia) inspired us with its mixture of modern and traditional and made us want to discover more of Turkey on our next visit. After a 4 day visit, we can really say …
