Welcome to Unexpected Occurrence, a travel and adventure blog. Use this site to help plan your trip or to inspire a new adventure. You'll find some top destinations and my most recent posts below.
I'm the face behind this blog. I've always been torn between living a conventional life and leaving everything behind to see the world, so I've found a balance between the two. I call myself a part-time nomad. I'm always on the move, but also travelling slow and making wherever I am a home.
Along the way, I've learned to love adventure travel and going towards goals head-on. Since I've started Unexpected Occurrence, I've trekked over 1000 kilometers, cycled over 1500 kilometers, and found myself in places I never thought I'd see.
Through my travels, I’ve learned to fall in love with the unexpected. Adventure travel throws us some major curveballs and you’ve just gotta learn to see the good in them. I truly believe everything happens for a reason, and that we wouldn’t be the people we are without a little serendipity. This blog focuses on the great things that happen when we’re given some unexpected occurrences.

Christmas markets in Alsace are magical, with lights strung around old wooden buildings, the smell of mulled wine and roasting chestnuts, and all the artisan stalls displaying their goods. Here are...
