exploring – travelling – adventuring – sharing

With Adventure Daddy away in India, and feeling a little fed up with house renovations, Oskar and I were in need of some adventure. Luckily having an identical twin, one can always be sure that there is someone not too far away that feels the same! Cue some last-minute spontaneous adventure! Yeaaaaaaaaaah! With the campervan […]

It was an easy mistake to make: “If you’re good on the cycle and eat up all your lunch then we can go to the adventure playground at the end of the day”. Cue…. all-day whinging about going to the adventure playground. Parenting 101 epic fail. But other than that this was a most awesome […]
