So what do you do when you buy a new tent? Why, you go camping, of course. And since it’s no fun to do it the easy way, you get lost a couple times on the way to the start of the trail, walk in 33°C heat (Very bad idea! But in our defense, according…
Finally got around to going through my photos from last weekend’s hike in the Julian Alps, Slovenia. The weather was perfect for lounging around and watching reflections of surrounding mountains in the clear waters of Triglav Lakes, playing fetch with the dogs (although they preferred digging for stale bread on their own, hehe), enjoying the breathtaking views of…
This week’s photo challenge theme is Rare, so I’m going to do something I almost never do and talk about something very personal: fear. In addition to a lot more writing than usual, some of the photos in this series are not my own work, but are here courtesy of my boyfriend who, apparently, doesn’t have the same problem…
Ahh, the long weekend… the gift from above! I decided I’ve had enough of active vacations, and that it was high time I spent a few days doing nothing at all. So we took advantage of the long weekend and spent 3 days in Istria enjoying the sunsets, food, cocktails, walking around the old town of…
Hey hey! How’s it going? A few more recent photos today. Last weekend we went to Velebit, the most beautiful of all Croatian mountains. For the most part, the weather was cold, windy and foggy, very autumn-like, but towards the end of the week, once we crossed to the sea-facing side of the mountain, the…
Early mornings result in long shadows, cold hands and breakfast in the sun. Our last day of the road trip to Spain, we spent hiking to Mulhacen and then driving towards El Pozo del Esparto, our final destination. In order to make this happen in one day we decided to reach the Poqueira hut the day before…
Finally! A few shots from the last, and my personal favorite, leg of our road trip: a hike to Mulhacen (3,479 m), the highest peak of Spain’s mainland.
Except it being in a very convenient location for our roadtrip, I had wanted to go to Valencia for a while – ever since I read a novel that took place in Valencia. So naturally, we decided to spend a day there to avoid having to drive for 9 hours to Sierra Nevada and then hike for…
One thing that is typical for all my travels is that I almost never plan what I’m going to do or see when I get to my destination. I dislike planning in general (something that I mentioned before) so I usually scout out the best (read: cheapest) time to go, ask for vacation days, buy…
So, finally, after this blog makeover that was a long time coming, a new post to continue the story of our road trip to Spain. I’m sure you’ve already forgotten what I’m talking about, so checkout post #187 to refresh your memory. Our final destination was a wedding in El Pozo del Esparto, a small town…
