Before I share my final photos from last month in Romania let me update you on where we are right now. As you can see from the map below, we’ve just crossed the border and are currently in the South of France. A place most British people associate with really hot weather and long summer holidays. Let me tell you things seem to be pretty much the same in the winter too. Blue skies and bright sunshine have kept us warm so far. It’s a […]
While I’ve been putting together a gallery of photos from the Bear Dancing in Romania to go in the portfolio section of my website I came across more images that I wanted to share with you. No doubt some will make it into the collection, others won’t. If you missed my post last week on the Bear Dance you can check it out here Over the last week I’ve learnt plenty more about the traditions and festivals that go on throughout the […]
So, Christmas is now out of the way and it daunted on me how long it’s been since I last updated you with my travels. Since the last post so much has happened including me launching my first ever ebook. Apart from that, I’ve driven across Spain back to Barcelona via some incredible scenery (more on that in a minute), I’ve flown to the UK for a kind of pre-Christmas family get together, flown back to Barcelona for Christmas and I now […]
The journey so far We are coming to the end of our costal tour of Spain. Soon we will start travelling inland towards Madrid and then back to Barcelona for Christmas and New Year. So far we’ve already clocked up nearly 6,000 kilometres in the last 3 months and have thousands of kilometres planned for 2018. What I’ve been up to. The weather is getting cooler here and recently I’ve been waking up a little later than usual. My usual […]
Recently I’ve spent most nights camped up on the edge of a beach somewhere along the South coast of Spain. The entire coast is dotted with great spots where, at least at this time of the year, you can simply park up and spend a few nights of bliss. That’s not to say I haven’t been working too!! but more on that later. Just to spoil the image that everywhere I go is beautiful, I’ll share with you the fact that I […]
Recently I’ve been spending time in some interesting places, one of with is this old gold mine on the edge of a sleepy town named Rodalquilar in province of Almeria, Spain. The province is better known for it’s fresh fruit and vegetables, but once upon a time gold was a great source of income for the region. It’s unknown when the mines were first opened but there are records dating back to 1864. Mining continued on and off right up until 1990. […]
I’m now one month into #vanlife, I’m not certain I officially qualify for #vanlife as my ‘van’ is over 7 metres long. These past few weeks have flown by, I can’t believe how fast the days are passing. With winter approaching the days are definitely getting shorter, but it’s not that. I think it’s more to do with the style of life I’m now leading, I think I’m enjoying my time so much that it’s just whizzing by – I hope it slows […]
