This was a little springtime trip in 2019. Through a random combination of events, I could combine a job of driving a special 4×4 van to Edelweiss’ HQ in Tirol. Edelweiss found this rare van in Belgium, close to where I live, and I helped arrange the sale and transport for their new world-travelling support… Continue reading Toscane by Van
The Gambia – Toubab MC
Ever since I went home earlier two years ago, and never made it beyond Dakhla in the old firetruck, I’ve wanted to go back and at least experience The Gambia for a bit. This year I finally made it happen and booked a ticket for about two weeks to meet Lukas and friends in The… Continue reading The Gambia – Toubab MC
Winter Van Trip 3
We faced the cold again for the annual winter, with the dog this time!
Bosnia-Hercegovina by Van
Bosnia, it’s a country that seems to bring up similar images for a lot of people: war-torn, crumbling and besieged cities summarize most of it. We were even asked to be careful of any fighting. I had on the other hand read a lot of good about Bosnia. I knew I wanted to visit it… Continue reading Bosnia-Hercegovina by Van

Croatia by Van
When heading for the Slovenia-Croatia border, i’d heard my friend Chris, who I met in Australia working on a farm together with his friend Mikkel, was going to be in Croatia with his girlfriend at about the same time as us. It seemed fate, so we just had to meet up. Chris’ girlfriend Line was… Continue reading Croatia by Van
Slovenia by Van
From Eastern Italy we drove into the Soca valley in Slovenia, supposedly renowned for its beauty. Straight away things seemed different here: as the area is popular for outdoor sports with tourists, wild camping seemed much harder (boulders blocking off supposed good spots) so we opted for a camping Cezsoca on our first night. With… Continue reading Slovenia by Van
Italian Dolomites by Van
This year’s big trip with Jolien was planned right after my Alps By Scooter tour. We’ve gone South-west, North, so this time it would be (South-) East, from Tirol through the Alps and Dolomites to the Balkan. No big plans were set, we’d see where we go and only had a few comitted dates set… Continue reading Italian Dolomites by Van
The Alps By Scooter
July started off with the first motorcycle tour of my Edelweiss season. Well not actual motorcycles, but rather Vespa scooters, just like on my tour in Tuscany that I enjoyed so much two years ago. While the scooter tours tend to offer less excitement and thrills, things just tend to be less complex, more laidback… Continue reading The Alps By Scooter
