Toscane by Van
This was a little springtime trip in 2019. Through a random combination of events, I could combine a job of driving a special 4x4 van to Edelweiss' HQ in Tirol. Edelweiss found this rare van in Belgium, close to where I live, and I helped arrange…
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…

Fort Tafnidilt
We encountered this abandoned fort in Morocco last month, during one of our most extreme offroad days. It was quite interesting, and different from the european, industrial abandoned locations I usually visit, so I feel it deserves a dedicated…
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…
