Posted on 26 February 2022 by Els

The Dordogne seems like a country on its own. From the dry limestone plateaus of the Périgord Blanc to the oaks of the Périgord Noir, from the Bergerac vineyards in the Périgord Pourpre to the rolling pastures of the Périgord Vert, there is one river that unifies everything: the mighty Continue Reading

The best day trips from Málaga

Posted on 30 September 2021 by Els

Málaga is one of my favourite Spanish cities. It’s so much more than an airport, so much more than an easy access to the Costa Del Sol! I visited the city on several occasions and even had the chance to live nearby for 4 months, while house-and petsitting in Cártama. Continue Reading

How to become an international house sitter

Posted on 17 March 2021 by Els

It’s February. Where I come from this means dull and miserable weather, cold temperatures and basically waiting till Spring comes around. Not this year though!

10 unique things to do in Béziers

Posted on 22 November 2020 by Els

I arrived in Béziers on the 31st of October 2020. I had never really planned on visiting, not in the near future anyway.  But as we all know, 2020 had its own plans! We were house- and petsitting in the beautiful Dordogne region when President Macron announced a new lockdown Continue Reading

The 16th of April 2020: the start of our new life. A date that had been engraved in our minds and our agendas for nearly a year. Detailed plans were made and by the beginning of March we had started the countdown: 5 weeks to go, 4 weeks, 3 weeks, Continue Reading

Discover the Scottish Kingdom of Fife

Posted on 11 February 2020 by Els

Ah Scotland: the highlands, the whisky, the midges and the glens! So many clichés, so many truths! When we walked the West Highland Way from Glasgow to Fort William last year, we came across all of them. But an hour drive from Edinburgh, there is another Scotland, a Scotland of Continue Reading

The best day trips from Murcia

Posted on 9 January 2020 by Els

If there is one country I am familiar with, then it would have to be Spain. From the white villages of Andalucia to the bigger cities of Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia, it’s a country I have visited over and over again. But there are still many corners I haven’t discovered Continue Reading
