To Africa: Madrid – Ouezzane

Continuing on from Madrid, our plan was to take the ferry to Morocco the next day. A Spanish trucker told us there was a good truckstop at mile marker 288. We'd started driving very late, so by midnight we were all really looking forward…

To Africa: Tubingen – Madrid

Back in September, when I came back from touring in Spain with Edelweiss, I met Lukas, a fellow tourguide in the hotel in Mieming, Austria. Lukas started together with me as a new tourguide this year, and though I hadn't been on tour with him,…

Il Migliore Degli Amici

After a very tough tour in Spain, I had one last Edelweiss Tour left for the season. I signed up for this tour in Tuscany, Italy because it was in October and one of the last tours for the year I could still get assigned to as a beginning tourguide.…

Cockerill Sambre HF6

Carrying on from our little Urbex trip, me and Jolien randomly came across this massive steelworks plant. It looked very secure from the outside, with rolls of barbed wire covering every wall and entrance. We circled around the property twice…

Touring Normandie & Bretagne

After my own trip to Sweden, and a little break in Belgium, it was time to head for another tour with Edelweiss Bike Travel. This time the destination was France, more specifically we'd be riding in Normandy and Bretagne, as well as some…

Traction Sud

In between tarvelling I've been working on my van, turning it into a bit more of a camper. A while ago me and Jolien went for a weekend to the southeast of Belgium to get away and camp out, but also to visit an abandoned site that's too far…

The Swedish Link – Part II

After our extreme first day of our week-long attempt to ride through Sweden on mostly unpaved, adventurous roads, we weren't even back in Jokkmokkk, the point where we got on our bikes. I don't know why we even vaguely expected to be…
