Hi all!
We have always loved travelling and as we have more time now we have been planning more extensive trips, mainly multiple day hiking or biking trips.
We would like to fill you in on how we planned the trips, what we enjoyed the most and what we would do differently. So, each trip report will have an “INTRODUCTION” with some info on how we planned the trip, the actual “ROUTE” we took and “CONCLUSIONS” on how we would do a next trip differently.
By creating a blog we also get to enjoy travelling three times: once when planning, once on holiday and once when writing about it. So, 3 holidays for the price of one! What a luxury!
When travelling we are rather easy people – as we are at home. But we are not travelling on a shoestring anymore: we do rent from time to time a small car and when possible, we prefer a bed under a roof to a tent. The roof doesn’t need to be luxurious, though. And as we are Flemish and having given the full meaning of “Burgundian”: we of course like good food and a glass of wine with it!
Our bucket list for the coming years consists of mainly “active” holidays; we hope our notes together with some pictures may inspire you somewhat! Happy travelling!
Joost and Kobi, not at home.
