Again this weeks country is on my wish list. Mom, Ammon and Dad have all been there though. This is what they say about it: What a beautiful country with its 17000+ islands, excellent diving, more volcanoes than anywhere else, rare animals, exotic ruins and 8 UNESCO World Heritage […]
Last week on Twitter we delved into DIVERSITY on “The Road Less Travelled” (#TRLT). Because Peru is so diverse and multi ethnic, combining multiple heritages, they consider they are citizens of a national group rather than part of a heritage. The cuisine, the fashion, the historical one-of-a-kind gems, […]
India is a whirl of magic and chaos. Aromas, delicious and putrid hit you like a brick in the face. Colours bright, bold and glittering wash over you in a wave as you walk the streets. Traffic is an ever-changing, waving sea around you. Tuktuks, pedestrians, rickety bicycles, […]
This is a destination I am excited to see some day. Thanks to Ammon, the only one in the family that has managed to reach this beautiful country, for all the great photos. This is what Ammon has to say about it. “Iceland is a very rewarding destination. […]
Our spectacular Caribbean elopement followed by honeymoon in Saint Lucia, Antigua, Saint Kitts and Nevis (posts coming soon!) wouldn’t be complete without a full blown celebration and blessings from family and friends at home in Vancouver, Canada. My darling Dutch husband was agreeable and granted me this wish. […]
Last week we were to talk about CONFIDENCE; who has it, why we need it, and how we attain this incredibly valuable life skill. We grow as a result of increasing confidence, those who have it, make it. Those who don’t, fail. Everybody wants to get more of […]
I have been to Guinea twice now and going back the second time, after our family’s unforgettable backpacking trip around the world, gave me a completely different view of the country. The first time I was beat up by the road and it was hard to see past […]
Last week on worldwide travel chat, “The Road Less Travelled” (#TRLT), on Twitter we discussed “The Unknown” with all of you; expert, novice and those of you who aspire to travel. Fear of the unknown is the biggest factor that holds people back from striking out in the […]
Last Tuesday on “The Road Less Travelled” (#TRLT) Twitter chat we discussed CULTURE and its idiosyncrasies. In today’s societies it’s cultures that clash and can be the underlying antagonisms that create confusion, misunderstanding and missed connections. In this digital age we are more synced than any other time […]
Ammon, Sasha and Mom joined up in Mexico and backpacked down to Guatemala together. This is what Mom had to say about the trip. “It was amazingly fun to put the backpack back on and meet up with Ammon again after so many years. I was completely surprised […]
Last week on #TRLT our topic was bursting with flavor. Be prepared for a tastebud frenzy. Cuisine is a subject that ignites the most vivid of memories through my senses, taking me back to moments from around the world where I indulged in some of the freshest, most […]
Last week we had a great #TRLT’s Twitter Travel chat on ROADS. Get ready to enjoy a stimulating and sometimes shocking ROAD PHOTO ESSAY that will take you around the world while you lounge in the comfort of your sofa! You’ll welcome the wind in your hair and […]
Last week we had a great #TRLT’s Twitter Travel chat on LESSONS. Having traveled to 110+ countries over the past 12 years, I have learned an abundance of lessons by talking to locals, experiencing cultures first hand and most importantly, by making mistakes! The kind of life-changing knowledge you […]
I’m really excited to announce that for the past few weeks I have had the honor of working for Point Comfort Underwriters as their featured writer. You can check in every Tuesday to read a new article based on our weekly #TRLT topics. This is the first post I made […]
Germany holds one of my earliest memories of having a desire to travel. Before I’d ever stepped foot abroad I was absolutely fascinated when I first heard about this far-off land in Europe where they had highways with NO SPEED LIMITS!!!! It was the first time I can […]
