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 …
Fun in the San Sebastian sun
There is absolutely nothing negative I can say about San Sebastian. The place really has it all; delicious food, fun surf, friendly locals, pumping nightlife and an infinite amount of photo opportunities. We spent one amazing week in San Seb, and by the end I was ready to settle down and start scouring the rental …
Back to the future in Bilbao
To be completely honest, I did absolutely no research on the city of Bilbao. All I knew is that we were headed to this small Spanish city for the music festival BBK Live (which I also knew nothing about). This is not the way I like to arrive in a new destination, as this will …
Running Of (From) The Bulls – Pamplona
Well it was madness to say the least. 650kg bulls hurtling their way down the narrow cobblestone streets of Pamplona. What makes it even more nuts is that they’re just trying to get away (and probably scared shitless) from the hoards of local men and drunken tourists who attempt to run along with these sacred …
