Following my dreams
I finally made it to Portugal on Friday 13th December and was headed to Faro airport to pick up my friend Raimon. He was going to be spending several days with me travelling along the Algarve coast up to Lisbon. What I forgot was that when you cross the border from Spain into Portugal you…
I was sad to be leaving the beautiful beach of Roquetas de Mar and the beautiful ‘tree of life’ but after two weeks of staying within a comfort zone it was time for me to go exploring once again. I had the most amazing sunset to send me on my way. I only recommend staying…
So after driving 1297 miles down through Sweden, trying to escape the snow, I caught the ferry from Helsingborg Sweden to Helsingor, Denmark. There was no way I was crossing on the Oresund Bridge. I know that I have faced my fears with bridges and heights in Norway but this one I was not quite…
Thursday 26th September – The day had arrived that I felt I could no longer put off leaving Norway if I was to be ahead of the snow. I had already seen snowfall upon waking one morning last week when in the mountains of Northern Norway and I really was not prepared for snow as…
Please visit my YouTube channel mindfulvanlife. There are multiple vlogs on my whole two months in Norway from Bergen to Tromso, via the Lofoten Islands, wild camping all the way. Norway is the most incredible place and I loved every moment I was there, even when it snowed! I was very sad to cross the…
So, after 10 days of travelling through Europe I sailed from Hirtshalls in Northern Denmark and reached the shores of Norway. It didn’t take long to start seeing the breathtaking beauty of this country. Little did I know what was yet to come! My last youtube video (mindfulvanlife) documents the journey as far as the Magma Geopark…
This last two weeks has been a whirl of catching up with friends, but also trying not to compromise my new way of living too much. It does feel nicely familiar dropping into friend’s lives, but knowing it won’t be long before I am saying farewell again. A lovely walk along the Wey & Arun…
Tuesday 28th May the day to leave beautiful Scotland and if you watched my latest you tube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JWpSeTF3Sg you will know how emotional I was feeling about it. I have since realised, now that I am actually back in lovely Sussex, that my fears revolve around being pulled back into my life, how it was. As soon as I…
Dunkeld is well worth a visit, it sits on the banks of the river Tay surrounded by the Perthshire hills and the bridge was designed by Thomas Telford. The Cathedral started life as a monastery in 570 A.D. and is simply stunning especially as it sits right on the river bank. Also a very kind…
I was sad to leave Mull, but the sun was shining and I was headed for Glencoe. What a fabulous drive through the glen it is. I headed to Kinlochleven, at the far end of Loch Leven, as I had hoped to stay the night somewhere on the loch edge. What an incredible drive on the mountain side…
