Having been to Mexico before, I was already a fan of the country and its warm-hearted people. But this road trip? It truly reaffirmed this first impression, and more. The people of the Yukatán peninsula are some of the kindest and most welcoming souls you’ll ever meet. With the wonderful wedding of my American exchange sister in Mérida as our grand finale, we mapped out a 1.5-week itinerary in May, road-tripping from Cancún to Mérida via Valladolid, then down to Campeche, and looping back through one of Mexico’s “Magical Towns”, Izamal. Picture 38°C heat, rainbow-colored streets in every town, and frequent dips into Cenotes to keep us cool. Just writing about it already makes me want to do the trip all over again.

This summer, my goal was to explore new countries without boarding a plane. Embarking on a long desired Interrail trip became the missing puzzle piece to achieve this. So I started mapping out a journey from Germany down to Albania and back to the Netherlands, all by train. Discovering that the Interrail network extended only as far as Croatia posed a little challenge to our plans. But it also brought us some unforgettable adventures and a wonderful 14-day road trip through Albania. Italy and France made our return journey by train comfortable and easy. And so we travelled for one month via several modes of transportation, some more pleasant than others, but no plane. Mission accomplished!

While we could’ve easily stayed another week in every single one of these places, our one-week road trip allowed us to spend a day or two in each location and enjoy the great mix of stunning nature and architecture. Endless lake views contrasting beautiful buildings and squares. Hiking up hills versus sipping Negroni in a courtyard of one of the many Aperitivo bars that can be found around every corner. Watching the sunset on an island of the Lago Maggiore or from a rooftop in Milan. Road tripping the north of Italy most definitely has it all.

After having explored the Natural Parks of the Camargue, Alpilles, and Luberon, we continued our trip east to the Provence Verte, with the ultimate destination being the Gorge du Verdon – also known as the Grand Canyon of Europe. And the name certainly didn’t promise too much! Without wanting to spoil anything, I’d like to note here that the Gorge du Verdon is probably the most impressive piece of nature I’ve ever seen in Europe so far. After having seen the valley from the winding roads above, hiking through it was an incredible experience that left us in awe. Ever changing scenery, one viewpoint even more impressive than the other – there are really no words to describe this stunning place. Go and see for yourself!
