This story is much different from my usual travel posts. Today I am 37 weeks pregnant with our second son which means anytime in the next 5 weeks I can deliver at home. The countdown has official begun and I still haven’t shared my first home birth story! So […]
Many of you know my brother Ammon from my book series Sihpromatum. To those who have been following it comes as no surprise that Ammon has tied the knot with the stunning Sasha and they are currently on their year-long South American honeymoon extravaganza. This summer we visited […]
“Mauritius – Lobster dinner, kitesurfing, beaches, swimming with wild dolphins, walking with lions and driving a segway on safari. Enough said!” – Savannah “Mauritius is a small African island nation just east of Madagascar. Not the typical destination for a trip around southeast Asia. As a personal rough rule of thumb […]
Mauritania definitely is not your typical travel destination. Our time spent in this hot, sandy country was far from a holiday. It was filled with adventure, camel rides through the Sahara Desert, unforgettable experiences and friendly people. In the capital city, Nouakchott, we were blown away by the […]
Ammon and Bre went on an adventure to see the Marshall Islands together. What a great brother sister team they could make on the amazing race. They did apply a few years back. Have a look at their video back then 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaOpNeIYu_M . This is what Ammon has to […]
It wasn’t until I was in West Africa, 3 years into a global escapade with the family that I learned TIMBUKTU was actually a real place that existed in the far, sandy reaches of Mali (a country I had previously never known existed). Full of adventure and new […]
The Maldives, a tropical paradise to say the least. Picturesque magazine advertisements come to life. The kind of tropical getaway you dream of with palm trees, white beaches, bright tropical fish and coconuts. This was my first-ever experience of an island paradise, and even after visiting countries like […]
Luxembourg has been one of the more underrated European countries I’ve visited. The first time I went was on a day trip turned 4-day road trip with the parents where we ended up going through not just Luxembourg as initially planned but France, Austria, Switzerland and Lichtenstein as […]
My visit to Lichtenstein was very unplanned. A last-minute, one-day road trip from The Netherlands to Luxembourg turned into a “oh if we go JUST a little further….” and we said that until we’d driven three days, all the way through France, across Switzerland, into Lichtenstein and finally […]
Two-month-old baby Tripp is going on his very first trip and will be starting his country count in MEXICO! It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this nervous about travelling. In fact, the last time I was this scared was 13 years ago when I was headed […]
Libya is another one of the countries I have yet to visit and long to discover, with its rich history and well preserved ruins to explore. My sister Bre, Kees and friend Ben Southall drove through Libya from Egypt on their way to Europe after our family trip ended […]
Last week on “The Road Less Travelled” chat on Twitter we embraced NATURE! I have compiled a list of 7 amazing nature experiences you shouldn’t miss. Mother Nature has blessed us with so many spectacular natural wonders to marvel at, it would be a shame to miss them. […]
Another country I have yet to visit, Ammon is yet again our hero and has been there and taken these photos for us. “Lebanon is a fascinating country and my week there based out of Beirut was not nearly long enough. It’s troubled modern history overshadows a rich […]
In 2016 mom and I departed on a fantastic last minute road trip through Scandinavia and The Baltic States. Latvia was a first for both of us and one of the stops of our 10-Country 10-Capital City road trip. We stayed in a very great location in the […]
Adventure does not always have to be a grand round the world trip, an excursion to the top of mount Everest or a sailing trip across oceans. Some may envy others’ adventurous lifestyles but adventure is truly in the eye of the beholder. A trip to the grocery […]
