Last week on #TRLT Twitter chat we discussed National Parks. Travellers all over the world came together to share their best stories and travel photos. I’ve trekked National Parks the world over and not one has disappointed me. Through the U.S.A’s Zion, Yellow Stone and The Grand Canyon […]
I don’t know if you tend to be more like me and think there’s something to believing in signs, or maybe you’re more like my husband, Kees, who thinks that’s a bunch of baloney, but I definitely consider it an omen of good luck to spot royalty on […]
My brothers have both been to Iraq but under very different circumstances. Ammon of course went as a backpacker and Skylar as a USA Marine. Ammon has lovely memories while Skyar unfortunately not. Ammon has this to say today: “Iraqi Kurdistan is another misunderstood and controversial piece of the political […]
Fashion is a personal billboard that you share with the world. Around the world it paints a picture of their life, their work, their religious belief and their status. Without expressing a word you can deem where a person lives, what they do for a living, where they […]
We couldn’t have picked a more top-end resort to spend the middle week of our one-month Caribbean extravaganza getaway! Considering we both shook on and agreed to do absolutely nothing on our honeymoon but eat and relax and get to know each other, Nevis was the perfect island […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Guinea Bissau was a remarkably interesting and unique travel destination that we had the privilege of passing through on our overland journey circumnavigating Africa. We arrived on local transport via Senegal and exited eight days later into Guinea. We met so many new people who became friends, took […]
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 […]
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 […]
Today the parents, my sister-in-law Anita and I are flying to Vancouver, Canada! Today I’m skipping the Friday Photos and am sharing my post on PEOPLE that I wrote for our #TRLT chat a few weeks ago, originally posted on Triptime Insurance. Many people travel in search of […]
Ghana will always have a special place in my heart. For many reasons Ghana was my refuge after months on a gruelling overland journey through West Africa using only local transport. It was here that we saw other foreign faces, heard English and could stay in a “backpacker” […]
