When we arrived into Malaga, my expectations we’re at an all time low. Lets just say it didn’t have a great overall review from the travellers i’ve met along the way. All I knew was that it was on the coast (a big plus in my books) and it had a big industrial port. In …

Sweating it up in Seville
I never thought anything thing would ever compare to Morocco, temperature wise. Turns out that Seville gives Morocco a run for its money as the hottest and sweatiest place on earth. Really though. Seville or Sevilla as the Spanish call it, is approximately 3 hours north of Algeciras at the bottom of Spain and has about …
Ali Baba and the Saharan dunes enlightenment
Until I climbed on-board my camel (A.K.A Fifi) about a month ago, I had always thought that setting out into the Sahara dessert sounded more like something you’d see in an Indiana Jones flick or a storyline straight out of a Tin Tin comic – all heros, hidden treasure and desserts oasis’s. Basically, I thought …
Kasbah Capers
To say the least, Morocco was an eye-opener. It was also an eye-drier. In temperatures of 55 degrees plus, I seriously thought my eyeballs were going to dry up into shrivelled prune-like organs on several different occasions. That’s freakin’ hot! Nevertheless, our Moroccan experience was as epic as it was warm. From the ancient Kasbah …
Sintra to Oporto
After leaving the loveable Lisboa behind we picked up a sweet little hire-car and blasted our way up the highway to Oporto making multiple stops along the way. Here are a few shots of our week-long journey up the north coast of Portugal to the magical wine country of Oporto. Enjoy.
Lisboa and loving it
The history of Lisbon is like a roller coaster. It’s filled with many twists, turns, ups, downs and of course a couple of loop-the-the-loops, thrown in for good measure. It’s narrow and cobbled streets really have seen it all; wars between neighbouring counties, invasions by vikings, natural and religious disasters…seriously, you name it, Lisbon’s been …
Kombi Crusaders – Part 2
Before travelling to Portugal, I had always imagined that the water temperatures would be pretty inviting as the country has a very similar climate to ours back home in Oz. However, after taking my inaugural splash down on Portugal’s West coast, the atlantic ocean quickly proved my theory to be a complete and utter fail. Note to self: …
Kombi Crusaders – Chapter 1
In Portugal, Nat and I were delighted to be introduced to Fern, a 70 years young Kombi who had agreed to give us the grand tour of the Algarve, the bottom portion of the beautiful Portugal. We spent one week galavanting around this raw and beautiful terrain, usually twisting our way around the rugged coastline. …
My number one travel buddy
I’ve been travelling around Europe with my beautiful girlfriend Natalie for almost a year now. And what an amazing year it has been. From snowmobiling on mountainous glaciers in Iceland in sub 20 degree temperatures, to our more recent stint in the Sahara Desert, Morocco sleeping under the stars and in the middle of sandstorms. …
Little Bits of Biarritz
We spent one short but sweet week in one of France’s most most well known tourist destinations which goes by the name of Biarritz. It has a rich history with its more wealthy customers, but in more recent times, the place has been earning a whole new rep, as one of France’s most epic surfing …
