Here’s what we got up to on the last leg of our journey and a bit of an explanation for our months of radio silence… At the start of this year we decided to put a pause on travelling and spend some time on a new project. Seven months later (somehow…) and we’re now settled back in to UK van […]

Driving through Morocco in our self-built motorhome was an experience we’ll never forget and after learning a few important lessons, we’d love to go back and do it again one day… Even though we’d done a lot of reading up before visiting Morocco, nothing can fully prepare you for this unpredictable country. That’s the main thing we learnt about visiting […]
One day we were feeding wild monkeys in the snow, the next we were riding camels through the hot dry desert Our journey through Morocco so far has been full of contrasts, going from busy built up towns with European supermarkets and McDonald’s to isolated mountain villages inhabited only by nomads and donkeys and then on to the Sahara Desert.

This partially excavated Roman city near Meknes holds a treasure trove of ancient discoveries dating back to the 3rd century BC. Our travels through Morocco so far have been roughly following a well trodden tourist route set out in our Lonely Planet book. Going from Tangier down through the Atlas mountain range then back along the coast, stopping off at […]
We went in search of Southern Spain’s mysterious hippie community and discovered a way of life that was different to anything we’d experienced before… Beneficio is a community of people from all over the world living in La Alpujarra mountain range. There’s so much to say about this enchanting place that it’s difficult to describe in a blog post, it […]

Our approach to building a motorhome and taking it travelling was very much slow and cautious. We took our time getting everything about the build perfect and saving up a target amount of money before even thinking about setting off on […]
We camped for free in Southern Spain’s largest town & saw the sights by bike As you might have noticed from our map and previous posts we’re finding it hard to tear ourselves away from the beach and have spent most of our travels so far hugging the coast. Being from the UK we’ve definitely got a sense of needing to […]
We might not have a house but it doesn’t stop us from making delicious home-cooked meals. We got our first taste of domestic bliss when we moved into a flat together in 2009 whilst studying. Since then we’ve moved from flat to house, to flat and to another house again, going from playing at grown ups to eventually becoming the […]
Here’s how we found peace and quiet in the busy Algarve summer… As we drove down from Sesimbra to meet Simon’s family in The Algarve we weren’t sure what to make of it. As you head further South you definitely feel the impact of tourism on places getting more noticeable, with more signs in English, British items in supermarkets (we even […]
