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 …

Second year in a row due to the pandemic we've decided to stay close by, limiting our possible destinations within a reasonable drive in case the flight would be cancelled. After an extensive search our eyes got caught by a little French island in the Mediterranean sea. It is well known between French hikers for …
2020 was supposed to be a year of big adventures for us. We had Australia, Kilimanjaro, or Peru in our plans. But then the global pandemic of Covid-19 came… It shook our daily lives and messed up our dreams but on the other hand directed us to a wonderful place which otherwise would have gone …
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)!

Big adventures, small adventures… we love them all as long as we get an opportunity to escape into the wild. Like the majority of families with kids, we are limited in the amount of time we can spend on crazy and long holidays. Nevertheless, nature for us is a major source of energy and relaxation so we try to have our little escapes as frequently as we can. Those escapes are usually one day hikes or rides with a bike. Some of them, even though very short, gave us strong emotions and memories. For the moment, we are not writing a blog post for every small adventure we have, but I feel like summing them all up in one yearly blog post is a right thing to do. It gives us an option to look back and just say “what a wonderful year we had”...
