Adventure does not always have to be a grand round the world trip, an excursion to the top of mount Everest or a sailing trip across oceans. Some may envy others’ adventurous lifestyles but adventure is truly in the eye of the beholder. A trip to the grocery […]
When compared to wild adventures through African in a self-built MAN truck, camel safaris in India or flying into the middle of the Pacific Ocean to reach the mysterious Easter island, some may consider a vacation in Europe underwhelming in comparison. Some of my most rewarding travel experiences […]
Kyrgyzstan, one of the very first countries I travelled to back in 2005. What an experience it was, even for the most worldly of travellers, and especially a 15-year-old greenhorn like me. The highlights of our journey through Kyrgyzstan include a crazy taxi ride with what we assume […]
Last tuesday #TRLT celebrated its 200th consecutive chat on Twitter and discussed the topic “The Best of The Road Less Traveled”. TRLT is about discovering the unknown, venturing across borders and broadening travel horizons beyond the famous World Wonders or picture-perfect photos of destinations found in common travel […]
Last week, together with fellow travellers from around the world, we discussed STREET CULTURE on #TRLT Twitter chat. When I think of “street culture” I instantly smell the delicious street food and market spices caressing the senses of both locals and tourists in Istanbul, the seemingly nonstop festivals, […]
We all know the wonders of olive oil and sunflower oil, the two most common oils we use for cooking, in salads etc and if you’re like me, after a shower to keep your skin hydrated (bet you didn’t know that!). But have you ever heard of pumpkin […]
I have not been to Kuwait but both my brothers have. Skylar was there several times as it was a staging point and convoyed around a lot while he was serving in the US Marine Corps while on tour in Iraq. Ammon was in the middle of his […]
Curiosity is a funny thing. It’s probably the number one reason that has caused the obsession of travel for centuries. Without that pulling desire, that comes much stronger in some than others, we never would have come to learn that the world was in fact round and that […]
SLOVENIA- The Only Country With the Word LOVE In It! To be honest, I don’t know if that’s a true statement, I haven’t checked, but when I heard someone say that I thought, perfect! Originally Slovenia was not one of the countries on my urgent must-see travel list. […]
Another country that I have yet to visit. Ammon and Bre did go together though. This is what Ammon says: Bre and I were lucky in our visit to Kosovo in the fall of 2006. At the time it’s status was still uncertain as it hadn’t yet declared […]
TRAVEL MEMORIES – A Priceless Collection Life is a funny thing. We all have our silly little quirks, things that keep us ticking and we’re all hoarders in our own ways. One way or another we manage to collect, be it expensive possessions in hopes of standing out, […]
Travel is amazing for an unlimited number of reasons; history, ideal weather conditions, putting your feet up and relaxing in exotic locations, taking on new adventures, a platform to build lifelong memories, experiencing culture diversity and thinking outside the box…but without the friendly faces of others smiling back […]
The highlight and most eastern stop of our “8-Country, 8-Day Birthday Road Trip” was Budapest where I spent my 27th birthday. We stayed at Estilo Fashion Hotel right on Vaci Street in the center of shops, restaurants, cafes and just a minutes walk to the nearest Hop on Hop Off bus stop […]
WOW! What a blast. Kees and I eloped in the Caribbean and celebrated with friends and family in Canada but never celebrated in The Netherlands. We were so fortunate, 8.5 months later, to have the opportunity to throw a party for our Dutch family and friends. All thanks […]
Normally each Tuesday a community of travellers, who now feel more like family after 3+ years of chatting each week, come together on #TRLT Twitter chat and INSPIRE! We share the best of the best stories and photos and leave each other with ever-growing bucket lists and wild travel dreams […]
