MHAMID and the SAHARA (19-20.11.23) With relief and a bittersweet taste in our mouth, we left Agdz and drove along the old caravan road: a 5 hours drive through the palm groves and clay houses of the ...
ESSAOUIRA (13-14/11/23) On the Atlantic coast, a three hours bus ride away from Marrakech, Essaouira is a quaint port city and a very good option to wind down after a few days spent in frantic ...
Not your typical travel entry. Most likely you won’t rush on Google Flights or Skyscanner after reading this. And it has nothing to do with the places themselves, for they were indeed glorious. Simply ...

Uckermark + Rügen, 22-26/07/2020 No plans. One car. A mattress. Way too many clothes. Two boys in love. At first I wasn’t the biggest fan of this idea. I always played it spontaneously and went with ...
