Northern Lights, Balkan Bites, and Icelandic Dreams
Our Nordkapp journey was the perfect test for life on the road. We took the ferry from Travemünde to Helsinki, then had 40 days to explore Finland and Norway. The Arctic pushed us and our rig to the limit, but reaching mainland Europe’s northernmost point was worth it. The highlight? Seeing the Northern Lights dance above us. Pure magic.
Our 90-day Balkan journey was full of contrasts. We fell in love with the wild beauty, from the peaks of Durmitor National Park to the depths of the Tara Canyon, one of Europe’s deepest gorges. The landscapes were raw and stunning, ideal for overland travel. Every pass and trail offered views that left us speechless. But not everything was perfect. We also saw piles of trash in forests, especially near popular spots. It reminded us that not everyone can focus on protecting nature, many are just trying to get by.
The food was another highlight. Rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and warm hospitality greeted us in every village and roadside stop. Some meals were unforgettable, others just simple and good. The Balkans left a strong impression and quickly became a favorite leg of our trip.
Next up: Iceland. From volcanic terrain to remote highlands, it promises a whole new kind of adventure. We’re excited to test the rig, chase the midnight sun, and explore a place we’ve dreamed about for years.
Next stop - Iceland!
We are heading north. Way north. Iceland is calling. The next leg of our adventure will take us across lava fields, glaciers, fjords, and endless gravel roads in one of the world's most dramatic landscapes. It is a dream destination for any overlander, and we are excited to experience the raw nature, the geysers, and the people who call this wild island home.
Before that, our expedition truck will be on display at Abenteuer Allrad in June at the Twiga Travel Cars booth. If you are at the show, come say hi.
Stay tuned as we shift gears, leave the Balkans behind, and roll into the raw beauty of Iceland. More stories, photos, and travel tips coming soon from the edge of the Arctic.
Long Term Plans have changed.
Our journey now leads us deep into Iceland's raw landscapes of lava, ice, and wind. After our time on the island, we plan to continue south through Spain and Portugal, before crossing into Morocco. From there, we will make our way back home in time for Christmas, ready to recharge and reflect before the next chapter begins.
Our plans for the coming year have shifted. Instead of heading to North America, we have chosen to dive deeper into Eastern Europe, traveling through the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, with the goal of reaching the eastern regions of Turkey. This revised route promises a rich tapestry of cultures, landscapes, and stories, with new adventures awaiting us at every turn.
Combating Travel Fatigue with Friendship
As we gear up for our epic journey, we've taken inspiration and insights from seasoned travelers like Yoda Travels, La Vagabonde, and Itchy Boots. A common challenge they face is travel fatigue. We think this stems from a lack of deep, enduring relationships while on the road.
Reconnecting with friends worldwide.
Our previous professional careers blessed us with colleagues who became friends scattered across various destinations on our itinerary.
By planning to meet at least one friend each month during our travels, we aim to enrich our journey with meaningful interactions and prevent the sense of isolation that can come from long-term travel. We hope this approach not only refreshes our spirits but also deepens our connections, making every part of our adventure even more rewarding.
