The moment I found out about the existence of drones for leisure (about a lifetime ago), and the epic footage you can create with it, I wanted to have one. Eventually it took me a few years to finally buy one, and it wasn't even for myself. I gave it as a gift to my... Continue Reading →
Road trip Western USA, perfect itinerary
This road trip in West America was easily one of the most memorable ones of my life. Together with my mom and younger sister we rented a van back in autumn 2016 and we visited some of the many stunning national parks. We only had 10 days but you can obviously take it easy and... Continue Reading →
