PZA Vodovodni stolp — Kranj, Slovenia 🇸🇮
A modern five-pitch stellplatz in Kranj, just a short walk from the town centre. Good facilities and a convenient overnight stop.

The Satisfaction of Finally Getting It Done
Since returning from Europe, I’ve been looking at my to-do list differently. Instead of asking what I’d most enjoy doing today, I’ve started asking which choice will leave me feeling most satisfied by the end of it. It’s a small change in thinking, but it’s made a surprising difference.

Park Lijak — Vipava Valley, Slovenia 🇸🇮
A warm welcome and a beautiful setting in Slovenia’s Vipava Valley, but ongoing building work, unfinished facilities and a high out-of-season price made Park Lijak poor value during our stay.

Camping Bled — Lake Bled - Slovenia 🇸🇮
One of the finest campsites we visited on our 89-day European tour. Stunning lake and mountain views, excellent facilities, and superb walking and cycling straight from your pitch. A place that’s easy to recommend—and hard to leave.

Meathop Fell Club Campsite, Cumbria 🇬🇧
A peaceful campsite, friendly wardens, excellent cycling from the gate and a lovely pub just a short walk away. Meathop Fell proved to be the perfect base for exploring the Southern Lakes. 🚐🌿

Appreciating the Everyday
We spend so much time thinking about what’s next that we can forget to notice what’s already here. Sometimes the richest moments are right in front of us.

The Courage to Press Publish
I nearly didn’t press Publish on my first post. Eight months and more than a hundred posts later, I’ve learnt that courage doesn’t always mean making a huge life change. Sometimes it simply means starting before you feel ready.
Days Out
Talacre: Dunes, Lighthouse and a Tiny Yellow Spade
A summer walk from Gronant through the dunes to Talacre beach, filled with wildflowers, birdlife, fragments of local history and one very important archaeological discovery.

An Encyclopedia and Travel Guide in My Pocket 🚐📱
For nearly three months, AI became part of our life on the road — helping with routes, campsites, translations, blog posts, SIM cards, warning lights and all the little questions that appear when you travel Europe in a motorhome.
Peru
Back from Peru, 2003 — My First Blog Before Blogs Were a Thing 🇵🇪
A rediscovered piece from my first ever travel write-up, written after returning from Peru. The Inca Trail, the Andes on horseback, freezing nights, thin air, and the first real glimpse of what adventure could mean.

The Grace of a Quiet Day
Some days ask us to slow down. A quiet reflection on rest, kindness, and choosing the gentler path when the mountain feels too big.
