First Beach Days in France!

First Beach Days in France!

I cannot even express in words how much I love the beach. I grew up in South East Essex, near Southend-on-Sea and my mother used to take me there (well, Thorpe Bay most of the time) often during the summer…

Photographs Of The Pyrenees

About Caroline

Caroline Middlebrook

In April 2018 I left the UK to begin a new life traveling around Europe in a motorhome. That advenure came to an end after just 3 months as I discovered that vanlife was not for me. I now live a semi-nomadic life, splitting my time between my home base in the UK and anywhere else that takes my fancy.

Currently, I'm living in Tenerife until the end of February 2019.
