Šibenik, Croatia is one of the most picturesque coastal cities in Dalmatia. During our road trip through the country, we decided to visit on our way into Split from Zadar. We stayed only a few hours, wandering around the cobble stoned maze of shaded back streets and alleyways, but fell instantly in love with the city for its peaceful atmosphere and medieval charm.

Last September we set out on a two-week road trip around Croatia. We adored every place we visited, but our favourite region by far was Istria. Within our favourite region was our favourite city, Rovinj! We based ourselves here in an adorable Airbnb as we explored Istria and we could not have made a better decision.
Read moreA DAY TRIP TO PIRAN, SLOVENIA
During our road trip around Croatia last summer, we had been busy exploring Croatian Istria when we decided to slip across the border to see charming Piran for a day, which is part of Slovenian Istria. Piran is a pretty Venetian-tinged seaside town and is the highlight of Slovenia’s tiny slither of coastline.
Read moreBEAUTIFUL ISTRIA, CROATIA
Last September we set out on a two-week road trip around Croatia. We adored every place we visited, but our favourite region by far was Istria. We spent five days frolicking around the alluring cities and towns and made the most of the gorgeous natural landscape. It is the place I always think back to when dreaming of sunny Croatia.
Read moreDISCOVERING WILD ICELAND
On a whim, we booked a very last-minute trip to Iceland last March. We arrived in Reykjavik without a real plan of what we wanted to see or do and so took a very relaxed approach to seeing what the country had to offer. We jumped on some tours for part of the trip and booked a car at the end to explore on our own. For us, having our own car and the freedom it provides suited our style of travel more, but the tours made sure we saw all the sights that Iceland is famous for!
Read moreTHE NORTH COAST 500, SCOTLAND
The NC500 takes in 500 miles of Scotland's beautiful coastline. The roads are long and winding, with mountain views, magnificent wildlife, crumbling castles and quaint fishing villages around every bend. Shy of any major cities or busy spots after Inverness, the highlands are full of vast landscapes and few people. We knew the NC500 would be perfect for a van trip especially in winter where other travellers are few and far between.
Read moreSUNSHINE IN SPOLETO, ITALY
Spoleto is an ancient city in the Italian province of Perugia. In all honesty, I had never heard of this slow and sleepy city so when we arrived I had no idea what to expect. My first impression was in the form of a very kind woman named Maria.
Read moreLAKE LUCERNE, SWITZERLAND
When I was busy working away to save up for our road trip adventure, I passed the time by daydreaming about what we would get up to when we were there. Slowly driving around the lakes of Switzerland and swimming in the clear water was a particularly favourite scene to visit when the hours dragged and dragged.
Read moreCARLINGFORD, IRELAND
Nestled in the Northeast of Ireland lies the glorious coastal town of Carlingford. With its tiny cobbled streets and small alleyways, Carlingford still retains remnants of its medieval past and is an absolute gem within Ireland's Ancient East.
Read moreAPPENZELL, SWITZERLAND
During an epic road trip through Europe last summer, my partner and I stopped in Switzerland for a few weeks. We spent our time exploring the country and sleeping in our home on wheels. The natural wonder of Switzerland was at our doorstep. Although we loved driving around the sun-kissed roads, one of the best ways to really immerse ourselves in the country was to jump into our hiking boots and explore on foot.
