Cities visited: Andorra la Vella
Villages visited: Encamp

During a family vacation in northern Spain in the summer of 2015, we decided to take a day trip to the tiny country of Andorra to celebrate my parents’ silver wedding anniversary. The idea was mine – visiting this little Pyrenean nation had long been a dream of mine.

Andorra is very small, so we managed to see quite a lot in just one day. We explored the capital, visited charming countryside churches, and even fit in a short hike to a stunning mountain lake.

As I had hoped, Andorra’s natural beauty left me speechless. The dramatic landscapes were absolutely breathtaking. Still, one day was only enough to get a glimpse of what this fascinating microstate has to offer – I’ve been wanting to return ever since.

I'm a Danish/English archaeologist with an ardent passion for exploring the north. Whether it’s the windswept cliffs of the Faroe Islands, the icy fjords of Greenland, the misty moors of Scotland, or the deep forests of Scandinavia - the north is where my heart feels most at home. I may sometimes go astray and travel south, east or west, but I always find my way back north. In September 2023, a scruffy little pup from Romania named Minnie trotted into my life - and onto the road with me. She’s now my loyal sidekick, and the best adventure buddy I could ask for 💙 If you're into unusual destinations, wild northern landscapes, and forgotten places, you’ve come to the right corner of the internet. So go ahead - pack your virtual backpack and come explore the north with us!
