Hungary is one of the European countries that doesn’t often pop up in the travel chats or in conversations. It is one of the road less travelled countries in Europe but it certainly deserves a visit. I regret only staying few night there, but we so much enjoyed […]
Last week on #TRLT Twitter chat we discussed COLOR! Due to it’s visual nature, I felt the best way to capture this topic was with a bright and captivating photo essay from around the world. Let me take you through the emerald, horse fields of Mongolia, past the […]
Last week on #TRLT’s Twitter travel chat we explored the idea of HOPE and I shared my interpretation of HOPE in this article, originally posted on Triptime Insurance. I’d love for you to share in the comments below your interpretation of the word HOPE or one of those […]
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 […]
Though our stay in The Gambia was quite short, just 8 days, we made many memories there and met a lot of new friends. We stayed with a wonderful family who hosted all 6 of us (my entire family!) through Couch Surfing. It was here with their family […]
In the summer of 2015 Kees and I had an unquestionable Sihpromatum when we were forced by altitude to reroute our South America trip and ended up in Ecuador. It took me quite a bit of effort to persuade him to take the relatively far journey to Galápagos […]
What a special country!!!! Although I’ve been to Paris several times, including a trip for my 21st birthday, and have loved it each time. The countryside and small villages is where I get the most pleasure when travelling through France. We’ve driven through and stayed more times than […]
This summer (2016) Mom and I did an amazing road trip from The Netherlands to 10 countries, 10 capital cities. Our journey took us through all Scandinavia and The Baltic State countries. We arrived in Helsinki via Tallink Silja Cruiseline from Stockholm, Sweden. Finland was a definite highlight […]
We made it safely to Saint Lucia, country #109, and had a gorgeous 45 minute drive with a private chauffeur who was extremely friendly, informative and enthusiastic about his country. He took us to the steps of the Ladera Resort where we were welcomed with smiles, cold […]
When people think of Ethiopia they may imagine poverty, barren earth and children with flies crawling around their eyes. We travelled overland through Ethiopia from Kenya into Sudan. The Ethiopia we saw over three weeks was full of big smiles, gorgeous, green and mountainous landscapes. We camped in […]
Mom and I visited Estonia on our amazing 10-Country, 10-Capital City Road Trip we did earlier this summer! We absolutely loved exploring Scandinavia and The Baltic States, especially Estonia. We travelled from Helsinki to Tallinn with Tallink-Silja Cruise Line which was a lovely experience and way to set […]
Egypt is a land of history and magic. We spent a whopping five months living there and it was definitely an unforgettable period of my life with extreme highs and lows. It is surreal to walk through history in the steps of ancient pharaohs and slaves along the […]
I have yet to see East Timor but Mom, Dad and Ammon have been there. This is what Ammon and Mom have to say today about it: “Of all the countries I’ve been to outside of Africa, East Timor felt the most African. Not in a cultural or […]
Unfortunately I have not yet been to Cuba but LUCKILY someone in my family has been. Earlier this year, Ammon and Sasha went to Cuba and this is what he has to say about Cuba: “Cuba is a hard country to write about without getting political because it […]
