Our Travel Blog

A widespread collection of our written stories, trips, guides, thoughts and much more from our chase of endless horizons!

Looking for anything specific or a topic?

Below you can find some of the topics we have written about. We have tried to divide them into some more general categories for the sake of simplicity. Just below you can see our chosen main categories, which when clicking on them, leads you further into some under categories at the top of the page and all related blog posts below that. As mentioned before, categorizing is meant to make a more simple overview, but more often than not a blog post will fit under and be tagged in more than one category. So you might find the same post in multiple places.

Want to see everything? Or do you seek information or inspiration about something else? Then you can just keep scrolling and take a look further down to see all blogs we have written. You can also use the search engine by clicking the symbol in the top right corner on the menu and typing in specific search words.

All blog posts

Find all of our blog posts by creation date. There is a filter function, where you can click on a specific filter, and posts related to that specific filter will be sorted out from the rest. Pretty neat, don’t you think?

If you are interested in knowing more about our bigger projects such as Chasing Endless Horizons or PCT & Thru-Hiking, then you should know that we have written a specific page for each big project. We both felt that such cool and comprehensive projects “deserves” its own specific page. Have you already encountered or if you do encounter words that you don’t know the exact meaning of, we have made a glossary with a bunch of words, which we considered were good to attach a short explanation or elaboration to – such as for example Leave No Trace (LNT) or Ditty Bag, which you will most likely see in multiple posts. If you have more general questions, there is a chance somebody came before you and the answers then are to be found on our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page.

FAQ

As always, we encourage you to let us know, if a blog post is needed or you have some great ideas for optimization of our blog section in general. Do you have a positive comment and feedback for us – well that is certainly also more than welcome!

What If I’m Not a Thru-Hiker?

Building ‘Chasing Endless Horizons’ – our journey to full-time travel

Why do we hike & why should you?

Why the Sony A7 IV and DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is the perfect combination for us
