The tale of a girl who set forth to unlearn fear

How corona changed my plans and what I’m up to..

vagabonding continues

We’ll be back in Germany end of may..

the only way to go back is taking a ferry from Lithuania

This dog is experiencing a lot of stuff

outtakes happend but I finally got some on camera

Maya is getting too fearless

Lock Down until 12th May.. Strolling through Ventspils

Great Craft Beer from Courlander!!!

Life is boring

Moose with 2 babies on the way back home.. too slow for a picture

First hot spring day.. we almost hit 20°C

it’s not much.. but it’s not all just fun

I’ll keep you postet

keep yourself busy

easy two ingredient imprivised bread:

flour, yeast, water, spices 😀 bake without oil in a pan or on a bbq

Maya got it.. she’s really good now

still working on getting better and stronger

you have to keep your mind busy

Training progress after about 10 days..she’s getting better and stronger

This is how pitching my tent works.. quick and easy

Support local business

well as I’m just in Europe it’s not really offroad but there are plans..

good times, good roads, good people

it takes some time to get used to it.. then its done within 5mins

but you could get diry and break your nail

not a rocket science

up to -30 is ok if you’ve got blankets, a car and a sleeping bag

don’t buy expensive gear..

think about what you need and what you can use that you’ve already got

Stay busy during lock down

Not much too see besides amazing nature

Dogs are tied outside in the yards almost everywhere 0/10

3 churches.. For whatever reason

Too bad everything is still closed
