Honest travel vlogs, destination guides, road trip itineraries, and real travel stories from around the world.
BEHIND THE CAMERA
HI, I’M CAR
Hi, I’m Carlijn, but most people call me Car. I’m a Dutch travel vlogger, travel blogger, and creator behind Keep Up With Car, a travel brand built around real adventures, honest storytelling, and the kind of travel moments you definitely won’t find in a polished brochure.
I travel the world mostly with my twin sister Cara and her son Noah, creating travel vlogs, destination guides, travel blogs, and honest travel stories for people who want more than a basic “top 10 things to do” list. My content is about exploring deeper, asking questions, meeting real people, getting slightly lost, laughing through the chaos, and finding meaning in the places we visit.
So come along for the ride. It may be chaotic, it’s never smooth, and there’s a decent chance something will go wrong, but that’s usually where the best stories begin.
Start with a few of my favorite travel guides, road trips, and destination stories below.
