#ThrowbackThursday to Sardinia, which I visited in June earlier on this year.

It's dreamy: seductive beaches with the whitest sand you'll ever see around the Mediterranean and gin-clear waters mixed with a touch of wild hinterland. The perfect place for #nofilter views and a heavenly 7 day road trip in a Fiat 500 along the coast of this magical island.

As it's the first ever post in the travel section, just a bit about what you can expect here. I love doing road trips, either by car or motorbike, so you'll mostly see those on my site. There will always be a map with the route and a short itinerary of the places I've visited, where I've eaten and hotels I've stayed at. And fantastic photos to wet your appetite!
