The ups and downs of the Milford Road

Massive, majestic and mind-blowing
The Yosemite national park just has to be part of a trip to California. However, without a car it can be tricky to get around the park. Since I didn’t just want to see the popular valley, I decided to book a three-day tour with Incredible Adventures. There were only…

Karijini’s gorgeous gorges
The Karijini national park lies in the north of Western Australia. To get there you have to diverge from the road along the coast and therefore some people skip it altogether. A wasted opportunity, because the park is full of adventure. Upon entering the park you have to sign yourself…
