Comprehensive destination guides: More than just a glance

Now, what sets this place apart is the way I dive deep into destinations. It’s not about skimming the surface; it’s about really understanding a place from all angles. So, for every destination I cover, you’ll find a treasure trove of resources. We’re talking packing lists, road trip routes, guides to national parks, specific hiking and cycling trails, insights on outdoor activities, detailed city breakdowns, and even waterfall guides. You name it, I’ve got it. This means you’re not just visiting a place; you’re immersing yourself in its true essence.

But it’s not just about the where; it’s also about the how and why of adventure travel.

From choosing the right gear to prepping for different climates and terrains, everything’s rooted in hands-on experience and expert advice.

Who i am

Hi there, I’m Kelly, and I’m all about the thrill of adventure! Originally from the Netherlands, I’ve been on a whirlwind journey since 2017. Picture this: living in an Australian campervan, enduring bone-chilling winters in Lapland with temperatures plummeting to -35 degrees Celsius, cycling 3,000 km through the untamed beauty of Iceland, hiking the challenging GR131 trail across the Canary Islands, and embarking on epic bike tours, including a ride to the North Cape.

But for me, travel isn’t just about ticking off destinations; it’s about diving deep into the experiences and creating lasting memories. It’s about embracing each culture, conquering new challenges, and savoring every moment. So, let’s explore the world’s richness together!
