Dogsitting in the South of France

August 2, 2021

I’m sort of surprised I’ve never written this one but on the other hand, there’s not much to write. It’s about the time I spent a week dogsitting in the south of France and I’m writing it now in honour of the day that my ex-boss emailed me out of the blue* to say “it … More Dogsitting in the South of France

This is my adventure, from Helsinki to the wilds of Iceland, via a journey across the north of Scandinavia and up to the northermost settlement in the world on Svalbard, by train, bus, boat, snowshoe, dogsled and snowmobile in the long dark polar night... Last picture of Málaga, at least for now. The three of us on the last night. I’ve tried to more or less keep Catherine & Esther off Instagram because it feels kind of intrusive to throw pictures of them everywhere (and also because Catherine never likes the same pictures I like!) but they absolutely deserve a post. 📌 Gibralfaro, Málaga 📌 Playa de Huelin, Málaga Not that we spent our four days in Málaga taking pictures of every pigeon we ever saw but… I did come back with a lot of pigeon pictures. 📌 Museo Picasso, Málaga 📌 Alcazaba de Málaga 📌 Málaga Cathedral 📌 Málaga

About Julie

I'm a blogger, adventurer, lover of hot water, amateur paddler and polar bear who wilts in hot weather. Time (by day, I'm a researcher) and funds keep me within Europe and I make regular trips up to the north, especially to Iceland. I like the occasional adventure across Europe by train and I'm starting to make use of my weekends for 48-hour adventures. This isn't my only creative outlet - I've written two travelogues (one on a winter adventure across the Arctic Circle and one on exploring volcanoes during a warm summer road trip around Iceland) plus a little book of Icelandic pools and I have a fourth book in progress right now.
