We got the tickets to Mexico and so upon returning to the US, we only had little time to see National Parks we planned to visit. In our new rental car we travelled across the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Wyoming. Along the way we stopped in Roslyn which played the town of Cicely […]
I guess we are not the best bloggers of the world. We constantly fail at keeping the world updated on our progress. The more I am on the road the less I feel like I should be making the world a better place through my writing. There are also so many travel tips online that […]
We returned our rental car in Seattle and checked in at the hostel – the only one available and cheap enough not to ruin our budget. The place was cool, located in downtown with various activities for guests every day: Monday hot cocoa and cookies at 8 p.m., Wednesday excursion with a guide, Saturday beer. […]
Olympic National Park is located at the north-western edge of United States. It is so big and diverse that they decided to divide it into three separate areas. We decided to split our stay between two campsites because the distances are too big to drive all around the penisula all the time. Kalaloch is located […]
We drove north, almost to the tip of California, to Redwood National Park. Redwood is a name of a tree cousin of sequoias. Not as wide but taller. Redwood park is also home of Hyperion – the tallest living sequoia on Earth. Did you know that they can live 2000 years?! The forest is amazing. […]

“Are you French?” “Excuse me, what language do you speak?” “Where do you come from?” “Is this French?” I have no idea why Americans think we are French? I would be probably a bad person to say that the only thing the Americans associate with Europe is France but on the other hand the Internet […]
After a month in National Parks you start to wonder whether there can be still something new or surprising. And then it turns out each park is different and each one is unique. Yosemite is on Unesco World Heritage list and every year receives around 4 million visitors. You can feel this – yes, there […]
We are very lucky when it comes to National Parks. The holiday season has arrived and all around the Internet every single piece of advice says “book your campsites early, even 3, 4 or 6 months in advance. Following this advice was simply not possible for us, keeping in mind our travelling style. Yet, so […]
So it happened Las Vegas will be on our route. I would never go there freewillingly but tired of heat, dust and dirt and having in perspective a very long drive back to California, we decided to make a stop in this city of the devil and recover. „The luck of the blind” should be […]
