PHOTOGRAPHERS, WRITERS AND YOUR NEXT TRAVEL BFF'S

Along Came An Elephant is a travel blog for the dreamers and adventurers. It's for those in search for authentic travel experiences and unique destinations... "where the world can't find you".

About Marlo and Kristof, founders of Along Came An Elephant

We created this space to build awareness on the importance of pursuing dreams and to ignite a flame inside your hearts and realize that traveling is right at your fingertips. In times of mass tourism, it is easy to think that our world has no unique experiences or hidden places left. Here on Along Came An Elephant you’ll find travel inspiration and curated itineraries to lesser traveled destinations by a former Tourism graduate . We inspire you to take memorable trips with the unique hideaways and authentic travel experiences we fell in love with.

Our words and photography will stoke your wanderlust whether you’re longing for the mountains, the rush of a bustling city or the adventure of the open road.

During a weekend break, we all prefer to leave behind the stress of daily life. Strengthened by the trend of over-tourism, we prefer to leave the classical destinations behind and experience somewhere a little different and less crowded.

Take a peek at these alternative city breaks to inspire your next weekend getaway!

Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv must be the coolest capital on the Mediterranean, attracting surfers and food lovers.

One of Belgium's hidden gems and a perfect alternative for Brugges - minus the crowds.

Krakow

Emerging out of Warsaw's shadow and close to historic and cultural sights like Auschwitz-Birkenau.
