Around this time,
one year ago, we met in Copenhagen on our first date. We, Adam (27) and Alisa (29), are both passionate explorers and surfers and traveling has always been a main focus in our lives - so it was pretty easy for us to find conversation on this coffee date :) We ended up talking for hours about our past trips and previous adventures. Together we could tick off almost every continent except Europe. Even though we live in Europe we haven't really explored much of it. Unfortunately we missed all the cultures and mentalities so close around us.
We thought that this is strange, so shortly hereafter quickly had the idea of experiencing an adventure together where we could explore Europe and combine traveling and living for a longer period than just a typical city-sightseeing-trip.

Adam's freshly renovated van should be the solution for our home issue on the road, and we started sketching a first draft of our future journey.

Today seeing this picture, not even a year old, makes us smile. We are amazed that dreams come true when you are determined enough to follow them ...

In our following posts, pictures and movies we want you to be part of our journey in the Yellow Bus.
Showing you our version of exploring Europe in a tiny, 40 year old volkswagen Van , driving along the atlantic coast , passing harbor cities, sneaking through authentic little villages, sleeping on deserted cliffs etc.....
all for one reason ...chasing memories to last.

Amazing story, amazing adventure! You are such an inspiration! Will be waiting for the movies, haven't seen one yet! What do you use for photographs? Which camera and retouch? Amazing pictures! Love the colors! :)

Hi @lostinhappiness , thanks for your kind words :) there is a movie in the post about Norway and more are definitely coming , some of them are in uploading process, other in editing process. We use a small travel camera ( Olympus OMD EM MARK 2 ) . The picture are barely edited, some of them only get a bit of structure and sharpness. Simply because natures colours are still the best :)

Just checked the video, very nice! I am so surprised about the quality of pictures, looks all the way professional photography! Amazing work! :)
