Angola was one of our shorter visits in Africa. That was not due to lack of interest, but lack of approved visas. We were travelling with three privately owned (one self-built) overland vehicles, and twelve dirty travellers from six different countries on four continents. We were disappointed in […]
Everyone please help me wish my big brother Ammon a wonderful 36th birthday!!! Have I ever told you about this absurdly cool dude? Well, if you don’t know, Ammon rhymes with salmon, and he is one of the big stars of my “Sihpromatum” travel memoir series. Though I […]
Last week Kees and I accidentally threw a party! Neither of us have ever, ever organized a party, especially not at our house. It was a really exciting experience. I learned so much and can now appreciate (even more!) how much effort goes into planning just a simple […]
As promised, this post is dedicated to Shane Dallas (or more commonly known as @thetravelcamel) my fellow founder of #TRLT, our weekly Twitter travel chat which stands for The Road Less Travelled.

I was honoured to be nominated by fellow author and traveller, Brenda (@BrendaLeeFree) for Thomas Cook’s Explore the Elements photo competition.

Seriously??? Only 4-days left??? Aahh, so exciting. I’ve got some great guesses coming in for the final word count of Book #2. You’ve got some time left to make a guess in the comments below. Photo: 4 birds flying overhead in Namibia. Pre-ordering is still a possibility!

I am feeling so blessed!!! Nearly ten years ago I was on my way to China, my life was about to change forever. Throughout the years I dreamed of sharing my tale with others and letting them wear my shoes (or rather worn flip-flops). I grew so much […]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY and big congrats to my wonderful Kees for making it this far. 45. Wow! So happy we get to share our birthdays together. Though not too sure how I feel about him accusing me of “Robbing the old folk’s home” Hhahaha. We had a […]
Author Note: Kees is pronounced case. Continuation of Guinea posts–> It’s extremely important that awareness is brought towards the suffering of those less fortunate and to try in every way possible to help those in need. But it’s easy to confuse the main stream media coverage of hunger […]
It’s been about a year since we purchased property in Guinea, Africa and started a gorgeous project there. Unfortunately, we recently received the terrible news that our builder, the one in charge of the entire project, died of sudden illness. He was such a friendly, healthy and extremely […]
