It’s Ammon again. I’m still alive though many might say I stopped “living” nearly 2 years ago when I came back to Vancouver. 2 years ago I dreaded being in the position I am now and would have agreed. It is a very different kind of life actually […]
I was tagged in this blog hop by Tracy Simmons, a lovely blogger who enjoyed reading “I Grew My Boobs in China” with her daughter. I was lucky enough to get in touch with her as it’s always rewarding to stay connected with readers and meet fellow authors. […]
Arrived back home in Holland late last night. Kees, who loves to make promotional videos, managed to squeeze our two week holiday into a 4 minute clip. You can enjoy a similar trip by visiting #Riu Karamboa on Boa Vista, #CapeVerde! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bm4oIHY3aA&feature=youtu.be Savannah
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 […]
HUP HOLLAND 2-3 for us. That moment when you realize you’re the only one screaming in English in a Dutch crowd. Talk about sore thumb, lol. Sorry Australia. Well played. And double celebration for me, just got the next segment of “Backpacks and Bra Straps” back from editing!! […]
We spent a lovely relaxing day on my birthday, and celebrated by going out to town, Sal Rei, for a lobster dinner at an ocean front restaurant. Before dinner I put a second book into circulation, here in the Riu Hotel. Signed with a message, if you ever come […]
Feeling so blessed to be spending this birthday holiday with the love of my life in Cape Verde. Beautiful beach, blue ocean, another bottle of wine from the Riu Karamboa Resort with a nice letter, got to watch my sweet kite-surf in terrible winds and get […]
We have a WINNER for my 100th country competition. For those of you who didn’t hear, a MASSIVE congratulations to Brittany Fuller for guessing CAPE VERDE and winning a copy of “Backpacks and Bra Straps” book two in the series Sihpromatum which will be released in October 2014. […]
While I was working on Ch 33 of “Backpacks and Bra Straps” and was amazed by what I rediscovered about Kumari, the living goddess in Kathmandu, Nepal. “A pre-pubescent girl is selected, much in the way the Dalai Lama is, and they worship her as a living goddess until […]
As you all know, Ammon recently had his very first day of WORK at Nav Canada talking with real live pilots. His lovely girlfriend Sasha, sent us this audio recording from the ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service), which she called every 5 minutes just to hear his voice. […]
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 […]
Words can’t express how proud I am of my brother and former travel leader, Ammon. In just 34 short years he has accomplished more than most do in a lifetime. As a small child Ammon could read before most could even count. Wow, right? But no. Being born […]
