I've said this before, but I do love Biarritz and Hossegor area. Surf culture, cozy cafes, nice beaches and good food. And all the hydrangeas in the world! Heat Wave & Other Waves It's been SOO hot that we've practically moved to the beach. If anything has to be done, it has to happen pre lunch, then head to beach and set up camp for the rest of the day. Swimming, bathing, surfing - simply being in the water. The waves have been petite, but Mattias always have fun in the wate

With the whole Benelux tunnel experience behind us there was need for the french countryside and time to breathe... On our way to our first stop we drove through fields on a road that didn’t look as if our campervan would fit but this was clearly not a one way street as we realised that even buses took this way :o Being goat farmers, Dreux, France We got this book that gives us tips on where to stop with your campervan at local producers/wine yards /farmers. So our first stop

As soon as we drove up in our drive way after our long trip this fall we started making new plans for the next trip. It was harder than I thought coming back, getting in to all of the every day routines and getting all of the colds and flus in the world. This spring has been loooong and we are so stoked to take of and head out again in the van. The simpler life. Even if I have managed to get a hernia that will be joining us... We haven’t made much plans but heading for Biarri

Spending time in winter wonderland, happy to see family and friends and trying to adjust to the cold. Gearing up with merino wool, hats and jackets. Vanlife went from 20 degrees plus to minus 15. Zoey is happier than ever about the REAL SNOW :) Everyone is happy to see us and hear about the trip. Most asked question this far is: - How does it feel being back? There’s definitely a mixed set of emotions going on... Home is where you park it Back at the house and it kind of feel

Before leaving the ocean we had to try surfing the Mediterranean. Very small, but glassy and without a crowd for sure :) Mattias had some fun, trying to hand stand on the board. I was going to jump in later on, but too flat... should have went in there and then... when there are waves we surf style... Enjoyed some last days of sun in Sitges and Peniscola then headed for the border. Stuck in yellow west protest Every time we are in France there are some kind of protest going o

Seville - Surf, surf, surf, Why can’t we look at more churches?, says the five-yearold. She loved the cathedral in Lisbon. The gold, the decorations, the high ceiling and that there was a sign saying you need to be quiet in there. Alright, so when in Seville we decided to take a look at one of the three biggest churches in the WORLD. Once there, at this GIANT church Zoey decided She did not want to go in to a Big church, She was way to busy with her new spanish fan. And it t

... that is where you’ll find us ... Arrifana & The epic epicness Both of us had the best surf ever in Praia da Arrifana. It’s strange how when you come to a beach you think it’s always the same, but they change every day. Some beaches even disappear from one day to the next. And to us Arrifana had the perfect lines and I thought this must be the way the waves always come in here & it wasn’t that busy so we stayed for almost a week, but Word spread and the surfers and vans fi

If autobahn taught us anything its the frase Stau gefahr, yepp that means this is gonna a take a while. I was even cleaning up the van on the way, anyone who knows me knows cleaning is not my fave thing to pass my time with, so oh yeah there was time to be passed. Cochem, Mosel valley Stunning valley with wine ranks on the sloping hills down towards river Mosel. Biking around on great bike roads and hiking up to look at old castle Reichsburg. Totally impressed with all the se
