PORTLAND.
PORTLAND.

Keep Portland Weird. So the T-Shirt slogan says anyway, and I think I'd agree with that. Definitely a city that's happy doing it's own thing and not worried about being compared to anywhere else. With more independent coffee roasters and cafes that you can shake your drip-filled-reusable-cup at, Portland's chilled, laid-back attitude to life is certainly appealing.

SAN FRANCISCO.
SAN FRANCISCO.

The Golden Gate, Karl the Fog and beautiful houses… it has to be San Francisco. Oh, and the hills. So many hills.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS.
GLENWOOD SPRINGS.

Natural Hot Springs and the final resting place of gun-slinger Doc Holliday.

CHICAGO.
CHICAGO.

The Windy City wasn’t actually that windy… 30ºC+, a swim in Lake Michigan and Downtown Chicago by boat.

MONTREAL.
MONTREAL.

The place of Poutine! The best chips and gravy you’ll ever have??

NEW YORK.
NEW YORK.

Man, this place is hot!

AUSTRALIA (2017-2018).
AUSTRALIA (2017-2018).

Sculptures by the sea, coastal roadtrips, crystal clear water and a friendly horse. All you need for 3 months in the Australian summer!

PRAGUE.
PRAGUE.

36ºC made for a rather warm walk around the Czech Republic's capital city!

BERLIN.
BERLIN.

We finally got to visit our friends Tom and Michaela in Berlin and explore the city like locals!

COPENHAGEN.
COPENHAGEN.

Walking the streets of the Danish capital city to the Amsterdam-inspired area of Christianshavn. 

Some music...

For your listening pleasure, we give you the (selected) soundtrack from our first year on the road.

Have a listen right here.
