Over the course of the last 200 days we have travelled over 65,000km, through 24 different countries by train, plane, bike, yacht, ferry, bus, tram, cable car and by foot. We thought that we would write a brief summary of our top recommendations and learnings that you will all find useful in the future. To … Continue reading
We have just spent the last twelve days trekking around Spain in our beloved Pug. We collected our friend Han from the airport in Barcelona and set out from there. As per usual, we decided to do things the hard way, and only discovered when we were merrily sitting outside Terminal Two that we had … Continue reading
Mr Kiss and I recently celebrated our second wedding anniversary, to celebrate we decided that we would spend the weekend away from our woofing cafe and check out Turin in the north of Italy. We have grown a bit weary of driving so thought that catching the train would make for a nice break. We … Continue reading
For the past two weeks, Mr Kiss and I have been living in a small hilltop village, Apricale, in an area called Liguria. We decided that we needed a rest from being on the move all the time and so signed up to volunteer at an olive grove run by a British couple. The approach … Continue reading
After the abysmal boat journey, Mr. Kiss and I successfully made our way up from Rimini to San Marino. We were pretty stoked to cross another very random country off the list. On the day we visited, the incredible hilltop community was covered in cloud but every now and then would show us hints of … Continue reading
After driving south through Serbia, we noticed the landscape changed immediately as we entered Macedonia. The land was more arid, there were more hills and small mosques were scattered throughout.

This meant two border crossings and 15 extra minutes but we weren’t phased. After cruising northward through Bosnia RS and eastern Croatia we zoomed into the very flat landscape and into … Continue reading
Most recently we have been circling our way around the Balkans. We started in Croatia with a literal bang last week. Arriving from Slovenia in the north we noticed the countryside becoming more and more arid and the temperature rising! We had planned a pit stop at the Plitvice National park and although it was … Continue reading
So, it turns out that we are the only people in Europe still camping in a tent…. the reason became quite evident upon our arrival in Budapest. It is cold, it is damp and it is the season for chestnuts, so the trees (which seemingly always surround camping grounds) send spiky chestnut cases hurtling at … Continue reading
After the hype of Oktoberfest, Justo and I decided to retreat to the mountains and enjoy some southern german scenery. We found ourselves in a campground close to the famous Neuschwanstein castle. The husbo had been driving for most of the day so I decided to give him a break and start cooking a simple but … Continue reading
