Europe roadtrip 2026
Welcome to our page! We are travelling across Europe, collecting stories, bad decisions and a growing number of kilometres.
Counting down to the end of 28 July 2026.

I’m Chris, a Latvian who spends an unreasonable amount of time living in a basement, lacking sunlight. This is going to be special to me.
This website is my personal corner of the internet. During the roadtrip it works as our unofficial travel log. Later it will hold photos, stories, experiments and a few pages that are meant for people who know me well enough to unlock them.
The basic plan is simple: leave Latvia, pick up our brother in Austria, keep heading south, see as much as possible and eventually make it home with the car and all three of us still functional.
Three horses travelling together for two weeks.
A VW Sharan.
Keep moving and stop whenever something looks great!
The QR code means you were close enough to notice the car. Maybe you passed us, parked behind us.
The site will be updated whenever we have time, signal and enough energy left after driving. Photos and longer entries will gradually appear in the story section.
Take a photo, say hello if we are nearby, or tag @bloodignite on instagram so we know where the car has been seen.
Fuel the questionable decisions
Scanning the QR code is already appreciated. If you also feel like contributing, donations go toward diesel, road tolls, parking and the occasional meal that is not bought from a petrol station.
Donations are optional. The site, photos and roadtrip updates remain free.
