Who we are?
We’re An and Yves and together with our van Boris we're driving to Kathmandu!
We share a passion for travelling.
It’s not our first travel experience but the first time we start sharing our stories on UA-cam and Instagram. There has to be a first time for everything!
While we were working and living in Thailand, he travelbug bit us again so we decided to quit our job and dive into travelling, full time.
Unfortunately, at that time our planet was hit by an unprecedented pandemic so we decided to return to our basecamp in Belgium to convert a 5-year Peugeot Boxer into a campervan to be ready to start travelling again when the situation starts improving!
Our goal is to inspire you to follow your passion (big or small) and to see and experience the world with your own eyes.
By sharing our stories we hope we can inspire one another on their own journeys.

A Week In Slovakia | Van Life Slovakia | The Hippie Trail #84
We're so excited to be spending a week in Slovakia!
We're only passing through, but we'd love to get a taste of this country.
We've decided to not only stay in nature but also visit two cities. We'll be visiting both Košice and Levoča, and we're also going to stop by Spiš Castle.
Enjoy this one and... be kind, always!

It is slowly becoming too much... Not our road trip of course, but this week we have some monastery visits on the agenda and this combined with another heat wave has us looking forward to something new, something different. Luckily we managed to visit another wine estate (which was actually a bit disappointing), and in the end we managed to end our week with a highlight, a visit to an abandoned...

After Skopje, we head to the breathtaking Matka Canyon, where we rent a ...

This lady is so pretty, specially with her glasses..
Great vlog. You are welcome to stay at VIP Lenin Street Hostel in the very central part of Tiraspol.
Thanks for the tip, maybe for next time. We already left the country unfortunately...
nice video...never seen anything abut this place before.
Glad you enjoyed!!!
Lekkere chocolade van de Lidl! 😂
In de Lidl vind je gewoon alles😜
Criticism is really easy. Try Criticism your country first. As a guest , try to at least good thing too.
In Europe, we don't lock up our guests 😉... Very unfortunate that it is so difficult to discover this beautiful country...
Also in my experience it was harder to froth non dairy milk so don't beat yourself up about it ❤
We bought a new milk frother in the meantime (with a 100% succes rate 😉)!
Wow those ear candles were amazing! I must try it! 😮
You should!
Great vlog again thanks guys. Always wanted to see the eye candles in action 👍
Our pleasure!
Watching from Nepal 🙏🏻🙂🫶
Thank you for watching!!!
Why this manifestation of hatred towards Pridnestrovians? Are you unwell?
Could you kindly share the details of the cafe (Name and address) where you had momos pls. Thanks
It's Welcome Cafe 2.0, Khara Danda Rd, next to Takhyil Guesthouse. One of the few places where you can eat authentic Tibetan fare, rubbing shoulders with Tibetan monks. We always go back to this restaurant, since we ate there the first time in 2008!
This is dangerous rout mostly foreigners didn't know that area is border area with india so plz be careful 🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲
We are aware that this is not the safest region on earth which is why you should drive through it as fast as possible, with escort!
Great vlog. Looked so fun. Can you share your vegan Belgium stew recipe???
It was an absolute blast exploring this hidden gem of a corner of Europe! Absolutely! We'd be delighted to share the recipe with you. Just send us an email!
owoo nice
Thank you!!!
Hi,lovely people ،from Iran❤
Thank you for watching!!!
Aww interesting vlog …. What an ornate church and the bunk house … wow ! Send the heat here please… that said it’s warmer than it has been here .. 18 degrees 🤣 not quite 35!!! But enough for me to sit and read in the garden 🌞 Ooohhh you have plans for more travel …. Domi per favore 😘🩷🚌🌍
We were really surprised by this nuclear bunker, really worth stopping here! And you know, we're really glad that the temperatures have gone down a bit now! Thanks for watching!
@@AFlaneursQuest 😍
Enjoyed this week’s vlog. What are your plans when you get back to Belgium?
Ha, the one million dollar question! We'll stay a few months in Belgium, before we'll leave again! There's a huge trip waiting at the horizon!
Beware of storm Boris, flooding in central Europe!
We're safe in de North of Poland!
Hopelijk is jullie bed wel nog ok, gezien de tafel kapot is? Goed plan om n omweg te maken. Tot volgende week
Enkel de tafelpoot heeft de geest gegeven, het blad gelukkig niet!
Beautiful vlog ❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏!
Good to see you back … aww you made us laugh… the city noises at the beginning and the frosted flakes!! 😂 Markets look interesting! You both look really well.. and I see Yves is still rocking his beard 😎 Thanks for sharing 🙏❤️
Yep, we're back! No idea for how long though ;)... And that beard, well, it will be there for a while!
@@AFlaneursQuest awww not long before you are back in Belgium! Any plans for youre next chapter ..? ☺️
@@johudson6765 still aiming for mid October! And plans ... 🤔😉😇😇 of course, already in the prepping stage!
@@AFlaneursQuest awww nice 🙏🚌🌏
Love watching people discovering Moldova. In recent years the turistic aspect of Moldova has been developing more and more. Yea, its hard to find places where they make good coffee in Moldova.
And a discovery it was, for sure! Thanks for watching!
food looks yummy
We love to try new and unknown food!
Amazing nation amazing people, bad ayatollahs
Great country to visit!
How to visit a beautiful country and spend less money than staying at home, how to break that beautiful country laws by camping out of campsite, how to be disrespectful to town of Zadar counting coins to spend there, how to misspelled some of destinations that welcomed you...I have a question - where did you emptied your grey waters tank while you were in Croatia, probably in the sea during the night. Coming to Croatia in January cause it's cheaper then and complaining how not a lot businesses were open, well guys, we are not your colony, you didn't come to Congo, you know. Greetings from Croatia and avoid us in the future, thank you!
Thank you for spending your precious time on an apparently worthless vlog! And by the way, all campsites are closed in winter ;) Thank you for watching!
Funny video, you should try national (Moldovan-Romanian) cuisine, as Sarmale, Zeama, Mamaliga cu Tocanita si Branza de vaci, not russian... You have lost a lot of extraordinary things in Moldova, almost everything. Sorry for that. Maybe next time you will have to be more prepared what to see and taste. All the best and more inspiration!
This is only the first part of our trip to Moldova! Thank you for watching!
@@AFlaneursQuest You must visit La Placinte to eat traditional tasty food, also visit the underground vinery Cricova, also Don't forget about the Castle in Bulboaca
Great video! Pls do not listen those who will tell you not to try Russian food or visit Pridnestrovie (ex.Transnistria). In order to have the full experience you try everything. In Moldova we have many natonalist ppl with brane washed by TV and politics. We also call them fascists :-)
@@dimauk83 thank you for your comment! Please watch our second vlog of Moldova today and the Pridnestrovia one next week!
Frosty flakes 🤩 once in while cravings need to be fed.
Once a year ;)
Did we miss you guys in Romania? Such a shame it’s an amazing country. But really hope you guys enjoyed your well earned break xx
We made 5 YT Shorts while in Romania, no full length vlogs though. And... we enjoyed this break, for once don't always have to think about filming!
world renown Persian hospitality
Was great touring Iran!
Welcome to my country guys! Hope you enjoy it 😊 Maybe we have bad roads and not a strong economy, but we have very hospitable people, beautiful traditions and delicious food. Thank you for visiting Moldova and hope to see you back 😊🍷 PS. Don’t forget to try “Placinta cu brânza și mărar” with a glass of moldovian homemade red wine. In the cold season you must try “izvar”. Just don’t ask what is that 😊 Good luck with your vlogs👍
We loved eating a fresh placenta cu branza, great snack! Thank you for watching!
Moldova has beautiful people, good food, excelent wines and nice music..just enjoy..new sub here😊
Thank you for subscribing!
Great to see you back...we've missed your great vlogs....kellogs frosties unhealthy? 87% carbs - 37% pure sugar. A decent bowl has about 8-10 teaspoons of pure sugar! :)
Like I said, unhealthy ;), but everyone needs a guilty pleasure!
Missed your Sunday vlogs. Glad to see they’re back 😊😊😊
We took a short break while in Romania (made some YT Shorts though), now we're ready to document the last part of this trip!
Nice video
Thank you, great you keep following us during this lengthy trip!

Never trust a pkstni They are masters of deception Acting Putting on a nice happy smile face With beautiful Nice words Whole interacting I public with people Only as long as they have some profit from you or want to show a good image to others on camera or In social situations Inwardly fill of hate prejudice Corrupt Evil thoughts intentions
Great vlog guys! Loved following you around bulgaria. Save travels 🚐 oh and sugar in coffee 😵💫 Your totally right - ugh!
Thanks so much! 😊
Ah, hope you're enjoying Romania. Sibiu is a beautiful place!
Hello. Its Oleg. Blogger from Tiraspol. I knew about your saving children from news. Thank you
Thank you! I just did what anyone would do in this case.
Escorts only cover you in Balochistan all other area is available for you to move freely
If you travel with a campervan, they want to escort you all over the country. We know quite a few people who have tried this and eventually had enough....
