This past weekend Drew surprised me with a trip motorcycling along the PCH! To tell you the truth, I was a bit nervous at first; I had never ridden…

Enjoying a quiet moment together after a truly unforgettable day hiking and biking the magically-wild forests + powdery-white cliffs (literally made of natural chalk) of #MønsKlint ✨ ••• PS- This place is teeming with fossils, we even found a fossilized sea urchin! #exploretogether #redpantsday

Yum yum yum Sometimes we are lucky enough to work with some of the nicest people who serve some of the most delicious food!! ••• Last year we reached out to @pancakesamsterdam about including them in a story on our blog (see "Biking through tulip fields and eating Dutch pancakes!" link in bio) and we had such a wonderful experience that we decided to reach back out to them this year and voila! What you see here is the marvelously gourmet Dutch pancake spread that they welcomed us with... again!! Drew's pancake topped with Camembert + raspberry swirl and that perfect medallion of soft, amazing goat cheese on top of my gf veggie pancake, left us feeling so satisfied and so grateful... and that was before dessert! Swipe right to see how sweet our night really was, epic sunset included! 🥞❤️ #pancakesfordinner #pannekoeken ••• PS- Hanging out in the outskirts of Amsterdam, fixing a leak in our roof, editing videos and trying to figure out our next moves... also wondering how our van-made meals will ever compare ☺️

I spy something green... driving from France to Holland, taking a break to play in the woods + make new friends, 2 of our favorite things to do! ••• PS- Today marks 3 weeks that we've been in Europe and we already miss tacos

Yesterday we walked 7 miles solo across the mud and quicksand to the absolutely awe-inspiring Mt St Michel ✨ ••• It took us 5 hours to complete the round-trip pilgrimage, trying to figure out the best path + praying that the tide table we looked up on our sketchy wifi was correct + weaving in and out of the footprints left by all the other guided groups that had gone before us. We were surrounded by the great expanse and that freedom made us feel like true pioneers. With our internal compass as our guide, we were forced to be hyper-aware of our surroundings, our decisions, our time. Each and every step was our choice. I asked Drew if he would have ever attempted this alone, he said no, and I agreed. Which made me realize that there's something about our love that makes us feel like we can do anything... that's the "stuff" that makes life worth living #❤️

Guys we're back on the road again!! Our van is happily rolling along and Drew is so stoked to have 1st gear back + a transmission that shifts as smooth as butter... or as the French would say "beurre" ☺️❤️🥖 ••• We were going to spend some time in the other coastal towns of Brittany, but since we know we'll be back in this region again (my family comes each summer) we've decided to head straight towards Scandinavia! We'll be exploring the national parks in the Netherlands + Denmark along the way, so if you have any favorite sites or hidden gems that you think we should check out, definitely let us know! 🤗 ••• PS- Our deriéres are super sore / grateful not be be on bikes again today (see yesterday's post for details) + we just stopped at the market to get a fresh batch of crêpes for the road #happycampers

Sending you beams of golden sunshine from our simple little van home in Denmark, our first new country of #VanLifeEuropePart✌! ••• Today's destination: #MønsKlint

We're back in Amsterdam ❤️!! Usually we don't like staying in cities much but there's something about this one that just keeps us coming back for more + we found a magical little hideaway camping spot in the woods! ••• Fun Fact: We woke up this morning and someone had stuck a sticker on our bumper that says, "magic" ✨ This made me really happy + Drew and I keep imagining different stories about the person who stuck it there ☺️ ••• Amsterdam has an artful way of intertwining nature with man-made light... it has a rhythm and flow about it, it's intense at the core yet marvelously balanced with the wildly-natural world around and within it. #iAmsterdam you fascinate and confuse us, welcome and amaze us. Thank you for being you ❤️ #Amsterdamismagic

Exactly what my van man needed after working on our sink all morning: his babe coming in hot with a fresh baguette in hand aka, Nutella transportation device 🥖🤤❤️ ••• Talking about getting work done on the van, last Thursday we got a new transmission, and just as we were leaving Mt St Michel on Saturday the Howlin Yoweller, who is already full of all sorts of fun and unusual sounds, started grinding and squeaking in ways we had never heard before! After much debate on what to do, we decided to drive the 3 hours back to our mechanic... but of course when we met him this morning our Howeller was as silent as a little lamb... pretty sure he thought we were crazy, but at least we got him to take a second look and reconfirm we are good to go! SO off to Holland-Denmark-Sweden-Norway we go, with our Howlin little Yoweller making it all possible, the sights and all the sounds too #letsgetthisshowontheroad ••• Sending love to all you VanLifers out there who are dealing with your own sheVANigans May you all be happily rolling along again soon!

If only we could shrink down small enough to enjoy a sunset ride on the drone ••• Preparing to make our solo journey across the mud to #MontSaintMichel at low tide this afternoon. We did it last year with a guide (you can see our post + fun video all about it via the link in our bio ) but this time we've studied the tide tables and we're setting out to face the quicksand on our own !

Making tea by the sea in our tent this morning ⛺️☕️ ••• Yesterday we dropped our beloved van off at the mechanic so she could get her new clutch put in and the process took a bit longer than expected #becauserust. So, instead of staying in a hotel, we decided to make a full day adventure out of it! 🤘 ••• We started off by setting up our tent at the campground in Quiberon, then we dropped off our van and hopped on our bikes in Auray. From there, we rode all the way to see the megaliths in Carnac, which date back to pre-Stonehenge (scroll right to see the silly pix we took with them)! Our journey continued until late in the afternoon mostly because we stopped at a few beaches along the way - it was 88 degrees out ! We finally made it back to our campground 9 hours later, where we napped on the beach, took a shower and then rode our bikes one last time for date night, aka. some of the best crêpes of life (basically the only thing that could convince us to get back on our bikes )!! Scroll right to enjoy all our images from this beautiful, unforgettable, delicious and exhausting experience ✨ ••• PS- If all goes as planned we will be back in our van home tonight! Preparing to make the 2 hour bike ride back to the mechanic as we speak! ❤️
