First things first: a disclaimer. This trip happened more than two years ago, but since I decided to pretend I’m 18 and go back to university our life has been pretty busy. Now that the classes and exams are finally over, we are trying to catch up on the blog and gather our memories of …

Our trip to Australia wasn’t meant to be wild nor long as we were going for a congress. Yet we tried to include at least a tiny adventure before the formal part of the trip and squeeze everything into just one week (having sacrificed a previous week for a stop in India). Thus, our activities …
India had been on our checklist for a while, but due to our personal restrictions on travel dates—tying us to the peak summer months—we were never able to make it happen. But this year was different. Thanks to a long-awaited congress in Australia, we had to move our travels to early autumn. Besides, it matched …
A bit tired from the heat in Corsica last year and from our own Mediterranean climate zone, we packed our bags to go to the North – Swedish region of Lapland and its most famous trail Kungsleden, the "King's trail". The trail itself goes from Abisko un in the very North of Sweden to Hemavan …

What do normal people do when they get back home after 10 days of hiking in Iceland? Throw themselves into a soft bed? Have a shower? Eat a huge steak? Well, we are not normal (if you haven’t noticed by now)! Thus, after a long overnight flight back to Spain, we went home only for a couple of hours to repack our backpacks, have a super quick shower (this is as normal as we get 😊) and hit the road again. Direction – North (kind of a tradition for this year).
Every trip we do has a part which mostly is left out from the description. Yet, it feels a waste to leave it out, as it might be useful for other travelers or it has some fun personal memories that simply didn’t fit in the main description. Thus, this post is dedicated to all that: …

The bumpy road from Landmannalaugar made us realize how far from the civilization we were. The harsh desert-like landscape continued for more than an hour drive. It was hard to contemplate that such a wonderful place was completely surrounded by a vast rocky desert.
OMG, where do i start?People say it‘s best to start at the beginning. But our beginning was at the end!…Let´s start it over… The idea of going to Iceland for our summer adventure was hanging in the air at least a couple of years until it finally became a reality. It was a well-prepared trip …
