The perfect picture: coincidence or staged?
Some tourists come back with beautiful wildlife photos. But is it pure luck? There are now tour operators willing to stage anything in exchange for the right amount of money. Also animal pictures.
An incredible year!
A full year on the road with so many adventures. It’s time to look back and to appreaciate everything we’ve seen and lived. We hope 2026 continues the same way!
Mould, mould, mould and the constant search for spare parts!
Isn’t travelling wonderful? Every day is an adventure. It’s especially wonderful when mould is lurking around every corner and spare parts never make it to the local shops. Thank goodness for friends who play the role of both mule and saviour. It’s time to complain a little about cleaning.

We have seen the giants on land, it was time to see the ones living at the Pacific coast: the humpack whales.
A red banana?
There are more than enough bananas in America, but somehow they are called something different in every country. An attempt to shed some light on bananas and their Spanish names.
Macaws – the colourful voices of the jungle
There are many colourful birs in the Americas. One of the most fascinating ones are the macaws. Their colours have been part of our journey and it’s time for a brief introduction.
An End and a Beginning: The Darien Gap
The road ends, we have to switch to transporting the car with a container. And like always, everything is a bit more complicated than expected.
Looking for gold in Venezuela
Travelling through Venezuela also means discovering another world. In the south of the country, we see how politics, tension and money determine people’s lives. And we find gold.
Giants of the Llanos: the Orinoco Crocodile
One item on our to-see list: see a living fossil. We visited Picopando and his fellow species in the Llanos.
Between thrills and warmth
We were nervous about entering the country, but what awaited us on the other side was more than we had hoped for. Our first days in Venezuela, a journey into the unexpected.
