Northern Patagonia
In Puerto Montt we met up with Monse again to travel together through northern Patagonia for 10 days. She flew in in the morning and we immediately hopped on a 7-hour bus to Bariloche, Argentina. Bariloche is home to the largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere and […]
Down the coast from Salvador to Itaunas
Beach time with Ammon and Sasha: Having seen Salvador, we were ready to spend some time on the beach, not just see one in passing. The statement “I’m going to the beach” in Brazil brings up a whole lot of decision issues, like, “which beach?”. With thousands of […]

Continuing with Ammon and Sasha: So apparently my early trip planning wasn’t all that great. We rerouted once before and suddenly found ourselves needing to reroute again. This time it was to add places and try to kill time. With talk of meeting up with people along the […]

European Road Trip! First Stop Prague!
Setting out on the road at 6 a.m., we left husband, Kees, and Anita’s husband, Rene, shaking their heads in our wake, completely convinced we were insane to willingly volunteer to spend an entire week “sitting in the car”. “I can’t imagine anything worse. I really think you […]
The Ultimate REMOTE Journey
After more than a decade of intense and adventurous travels around the world, traversing overland and reaching corners many tourists will never set foot, I consider myself a remote travel expert. Having ventured from the great vastness of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia to circumnavigating Africa in a […]
