2026 Calendar

February - April : Hitting the track as early as next month. These months are reserved for track driving and 2026 will be no different. I might track Monster this year 👀

June : theSLRtour II 

I’m pretty set on June - it’s not too warm and less touristy than July. July and August traffic won’t be enjoyable in these monsters of cars. Some of the passes in the Alps are still closed in June, so, our routes through the Alps will be a last minute call. I may remove Furka Pass, because it’s too normie for my taste and friends told me it’s not worth it and recommended other, more picturesque passes that are worthy of a detour. We might skip Italy altogether - been there, done that, why do it again?! Lake Como will be in its wedding season and I’m not hyped about driving through that. So, the loop may not be happening, I’m 90% sure that we won’t include Italy, but I’m yet to announce the official route of theSLRtour II. So, we’ll do 2x Austria and Germany instead. 

I’m yet to decide how long theSLRtour II will be, but I’ll try to make it easy on the cars and us, while it also doesn’t take too long to finish. Maybe an 8-nights trip - depending on how long we decide to stay in Zagreb on the way back. It’s my favourite stop along the way and I’m looking forward to it! 

August : USA and Route 66 

Route 66 is calling, again. It turns 100 this year! I want to finish it and it’ll likely be just a drive-through with less stops this time, because I’m a west coast type of girl and I want to spend more time in Los Angeles. LA became my favourite place on earth and I’m looking forward to it. Obviously Texas is a must as always - it’s my favourite state and no time spent there will ever be enough. It has that pull on me that I might give in and move there.  

September : McLaren Croatia roadtrip

I’m considering a McLaren Croatia trip. Now this will be a last minute trip, it really depends on when I get back from the USA. Between us, I’m contemplating a side quest - to “work” as a ranch photographer for 3 months. Life is too short, so there’s a huge possibility that I might decide to do that for 3 months this year. The Wild West is calling me and I can’t resist it. The desert wind is whispering my name and the galloping mustangs on the horizon make me question everything I know about life. I’ll probably come back with another Mustang. 😂 I really, really, really want a 1969 Fastback. May this be the year! If I come back.

Country roads, take me home…

October - November : You’ll find me on the track again. Excited about a possible trip to the Ring as well. 

December : Miami to Mexico City

I got inspired by Gumball 3000, I admit. But Miami to Mexico City sounds like something I would do and I will do it. I’ve already done Mexico City to Cancun - that was the most epic drive I’ve ever done. Mexico City is a favourite place of mine. 

Honestly, Europe peaked 200 years ago lmao. Not feeling like spending money in European destinations, I mean, I’m not excited at all about spending money holidaying around Europe, just to get catcalled by migrants. Nah. I’m either heading west or east and out of Europe. One of my dream drives is the Silk Road or from Istanbul to Beijing. Once I’m done with Miami to Mexico City, in 2027 I’ll head east and cover some distance from that dream, epic drive/ expedition through Asia.
