The Curious Adventurers

Hi, we are Peter & Dolores

Welcome to our adventure and travel blog. We’re a Belgian–Irish couple who call County Sligo home, and this is where we share our passion for exploring the world—chasing adventure, discovering vibrant cultures, soaking up stunning landscapes, and enjoying plenty of delicious food along the way.

We love creating inspiring travel guides and offering honest, in‑depth gear reviews to help you plan your own journeys. Our adventures range from quick one‑day escapes to multi‑week expeditions, and we’re always looking for the next place to explore.
If you’d like to learn more about our story, you can dive in below.

Adventure travel

With a deep love for the great outdoors, we've been fortunate to embark on some truly incredible adventures over the years. But for us, the magic doesn’t lie only in long, multi-week expeditions—we find just as much joy in life’s simpler escapes.
A Friday evening hike with nothing but a sleeping bag, a wander along forest trails, or a weekend adventure race offers excitement and fulfilment that rivals a three-month expedition. It’s the spontaneity, the fresh air, and the thrill of discovery that fuels us—no matter the scale.

Ireland

It's the place we call home. A base filled with rugged coastlines, rolling hills and endless inspiration for our adventures.
​

From the Wild Atlantic to Ireland’s Ancient East, we wander wherever curiosity leads—seeking adventure, culture, and the hidden corners in between.

Travel gear

Living along the Wild Atlantic Way comes with its share of perks. It’s breathtakingly beautiful—but beyond the views, it’s an ideal testing ground for outdoor gear. Our testing extends beyond Ireland, too. During adventure-filled travels abroad, we continue to challenge the gear over extended periods—giving us a true measure of its durability and performance over time.
​

A word of warning: this isn’t gentle use.


The gear we test will get muddy
It’ll scrape against rocks
It’ll be soaked to the core
It’ll be put through absolute punishment
