OneDayStop – our travel blog

2012 – beginnings

We started this travel blog during our first road trip around Northern France in 2012. The idea behind was to share some stories and photos with family and friends. It was easier, faster and simpler than writing five or more emails. From that time we had many posts which we find today distant to anything connected to blogging. Like old souvenirs  that need cleaning or some touch.

Blog today

Fast forward to these days, when we are richer with thousands of miles, photos and experiences. We continuously develop the blog with a careful attention to a work-life-blog balance.

If you find OneDayStop.com something more than just another travel blog, then we are happy. Our goal is to make it a source of inspiration because travelling is not only about places and people. It is also a long preparation, searching for the best equipment, challenges and austerities. And there is a lot of fun in it – playing with images made by your camera, discovering lifestyles and crossing frontiers.

It is our personal diary made a little bit public. The best and the worst parts can be found here.
