    Across the country for Olivia Dean

    May 16, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Keirra and Richard braved a full day of trains (6 trains, to be exact) in order to make it to Köln for an Olivia Dean concert. We enjoyed a quick beer and tasty wrap with our Warmshowers host Max before making our way to the jam packed venue. Keirra nearly cried with delight in seeing one of her favourite artists live. Do yourself a favour and listen to “Be My Own Boyfriend” while having a nice room dance party.Read more

  • Hello Netherlands!

    May 17, 2024 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    We started the day with a train ride to Venlo where we enjoyed a delicious coffee. Well fuelled, we ventured out onto the well maintained cycle paths and passed windmill after windmill. We were indeed in The Netherlands! Our sunny morning slowly gave way to raucous storms as the heavens opened up and thunder cracked with increasing ferocity. Drenched to the bone because of an untimely malfunction with keirra’s rain jacket, we made camp at a family-run site near Eindhoven. Dinner was enjoyed inside our slightly leaky tent.Read more

  • How we missed the ocean

    May 19, 2024 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Two more days of riding brought us to the ocean. We were caught in a cycle of storms that would begin each afternoon, pummelling us with rain and rather majestic sounding thunder. Our timing was somehow impeccable as, day after day, we had the tent set up only moments before the torrents began.Read more

  • A beautiful city

    May 20, 2024 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Our final 50km was windy but warm. We enjoyed wandering through the circular city of Middelburg with its cobbled streets and historical buildings. Our evening was spent with some lovely Dutch Warmshowers hosts. Over garden mint tea and cardamom coffee, we exchanged travel stories.Read more
