Home sweet home (is where you park it!)
After twelve months on the road, we’re back in Christoffer’s grandparents garden, cleaning and moving out from the Airstream. The last couple of months has been a mixture of feelings. We both missed home because of our friends and family, but on the other side, we didn’t want this indescribable journey to end! Cleaning the […]

Checking out the pulse of Amsterdam and climbing Excalibur
We had one big goal for our visit to the Netherlands; to climb one of the worlds tallest artificial climbing walls, Excalibur in Groningen. We had seen so many pictures of Excalibur on social media, so we had to see it live and test it. It was fun, high and windy! It was an exciting […]

Jungle & Fairytales in Alsace
After bouldering for over a month, our fingers were itching for rope climbing again. As we were slowly heading back to Roka Werk in Germany for service on the mother ship, we left Fontainebleau and drove east towards Strasbourg.

Tourists in Paris and Versailles
Even though we were quite engaged with the bouldering in Fontainebleau, we had to spend some days as serious tourists in Paris. Christoffer’s mum was visiting us in Paris, so we left the mother ship for some days and stayed in an apartment with her. We also took the train from Fontainebleau to Versailles together […]
