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 […]
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 […]
South America continues: From Samaipata we returned to Santa Cruz for another night and the following day caught a bus heading east to San Jose de Chiquitos. It is a hot, dusty little town and one of the most accessible on the historic Jesuit Missions circuit of Bolivia. […]
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 […]
Are you in search of those “Weird and Wonderful” travel experiences that will both shock and make your family and friends back home say, “Wow, I want to do/see that too!”? Then here are few great starters from around the world that are bound to get some reactions. […]
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 […]
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 […]
For the past 13 years I have spent my birthday (June 14th) in a different country (except once) and it has become a birthday tradition. I have celebrated in China, Turkmenistan, Egypt, Canada, Holland, Namibia, Mauritius, Cape Verde, France, Peru and last year I did a “Birthday Blitz Road Trip” driving […]
In 2006 after a short stop back home in Vancouver, Canada, Jordan was our second beginning of our trip around the world. With my dad and my first love in tow, we landed in the ancient city of Amman, Jordan and met back up with my brother Ammon […]
Last week I explored some of the best hot destinations to hit for heat lovers and this week I’m bringing you the polar opposite. COLD! I’m not particularly a fan of cold places myself, but there are certainly experiences that even I couldn’t resist, must recommend to others, […]
Jamaica was one of the very first trips Kees and I took after the big world journey we met on. It was a huge contrast for me having come from extreme, budget travel to my first-ever luxury resort. It was hard to comprehend. Jamaica was also the first-ever […]
By the most fun coincidence, my very best American friend, author and Dutch expat, Jessica Lipowski, ended her first book tour in the US, and launched into a relaxing Caribbean cruise at the exact same time we were on our honeymoon. By sheer luck Jessica happened to be […]
