After half a year of no off-road riding, we arrived in The Netherlands to get my wheels dirty once more. The first part of mud nearly brought me to tears. Not the brave and happy kind of tears, but the terrified kind because I couldn’t remember how I ever got through these sticky situations. No…
It’s rather ironic really. Something nobody had ever heard of started affecting nearly everybody’s life in the time span of just a few weeks. I don’t think I need to use the C-word again. Everybody knows what I am talking about. Closed schools, empty cities and hospitals preparing for war. Yet, never before have I…
Saturday, six in the morning and I lie in bed wide awake. Some people may call this frustrating, but I love it. For me being able to get up early in the morning gives me the opportunity to watch the early morning sun with a cup of tea while the world around me is still…

Full of energy, curiosity and a head filled with dreams we took of on this journey and here we are, yet again another country to add to our list! Slowly we are moving, discovering all that is new, surprising and different from what we are used to. At times it can be hard to not…
Before entering Nepal I was pretty sure that it would be quite similar to India, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. From the moment you cross the border an endless stretch of peace awaits you.
