You may be wondering why I’m writing a post about football (soccer) when I’m a travel writer and not a sports fanatic. When compared to the general Dutch public, I realize how little I actually know about it. Despite my lack of knowledge and childhood experience with the […]
After some consideration, I decided that this is a family story so I will be including a photo essay of EVERY country that the family has visited which totals a whopping 140 countries! I will indicate the countries which I have not personally visited with ** at the […]

This is NOT a joke!!! I’ve been living in The Netherlands for SEVEN YEARS! It feels like another April Fools joke because I am trying to believe that it is true…. April 1st is a special day for me for three reasons. 1: It’s the day (eight years ago) that I […]
As you may already know, I co-founded one of the most popular travel chats on Twitter, “The Road Less Travelled” AKA #TRLT which is held every single Tuesday at 1pm ET. In celebration of our big 99cent memoir SALE, I’m very excited to announce #MEMOIRMADNESS, a special one-off […]
A typical day adventure at this household will often involve mud, motorized vehicles and accidents! I suppose others’ Easters would have been spent quite differently… “Shall we take the quads out?” “Sure let’s do that.” A few minutes later there were five boys in my yard loading up […]
The moment we decided to visit Vancouver on holiday, I knew I had to arrange a #TRLT in-person tweet meet. Most of you have probably heard about Twitter Travel Chat #TRLT (The Road Less Travelled) that I founded over two years ago. We have members from all over […]
Standing on the historic Ottoman bridge which crosses over the River Miljacka united me with a historic event I would never forget. Now, for some this may ring no bells at all, but “Latin Bridge” is an extremely historic site. It was here that the assassination of Austria’s […]
Terrible weather forced us to abort our skiing mission and drive home to Vancouver early on Friday. We had a wonderful sushi dinner with family and friends at our favorite, Yuko Maki. I’ll never forget the way my #1 fan, Melanee from Black Bond Books (the most amazing […]
To mix things up a little, we took one of our skiing mornings off to go Ziplining with Ziptrek Eco Tours. Wow! What an adventure. I have ziplined on five continents through the palm trees in Dominican Republic in the Caribbean, under a giant bridge to reach the […]
We had intended on staying much longer in Benin but when you’re on an adventure you’re susceptible to unexpected changes. After meeting England’s Ben Southall (who would later win “The Best Job in the World”) and my now Dutch partner, Kees in Ghana, we joined forces and headed […]
Our trip to Canada was a very last minute decision, making it a very typical Kees/Savannah kind of holiday. Kees hadn’t been to my hometown in five years, so as you can imagine, being an extremely family oriented girl, I’ve been nagging him to return ever since. His […]
When I first visited Belgium I was 16 years old and more than 2 1/2 years into an open-ended trip around the world with my family. We’d just spent a very challenging yet fun-filled five months exploring every corner of Egypt, repetitively visiting some of the most historic […]
One of the craziest natural wonders I’ve ever seen was in Azerbaijan. Azer-what-now?! Azerbaijan, yes. That was probably my exact reaction to one of the craziest country names I’d ever heard too. Azerbaijan is one of the three Caucus countries, the others are Georgia (the country) and Armenia. Azerbaijan […]
I am SOOOO thrilled to announce that Kees and I will be flying to my hometown, Vancouver, Canada tomorrow. Kees hasn’t been to North America in over 5 years, so it’s about time!!! I’ve got an absolutely jam-packed schedule and can’t wait to share the adventures with you. […]
