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 […]
I have not been to any of Southeast Asia yet. I really look forward to the day I get too. Ammon, Mom and Dad have all been there and loved it. This is what Ammon has to say: “Malaysia feels like multiple countries in one. It is conservative […]
Macedonia represents a lot of strong feelings for me as it was the place where I almost lost my sister and where our family trip ended…or so we thought. Don’t want to give too many spoilers so you’ll just have to wait for Volume 4 of the Sihpromatum […]
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 […]
The remnants of our ancestors are speckled across the planet, waiting to be admired. Some are still eagerly waiting to be discovered and have their hidden messages unravelled. Their crumbling walls leave traces of history and tell stories that reflect our own lives today. Take a journey through […]
Time is a magical and dramatic thing. It is only through the passing of years and through travel that we, creatures of modern times, are allowed to cross over into once forbidden or restricted places of the world. If you can’t find any other reason to leap onto […]
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. […]
Now that I have a newborn baby I have been looking into less adventure and more relaxation for our near-future travels with little Tripp. I know there are many of you out there who are also craving that escape so I’ve compiled eight fantastic relaxation destinations. Below is […]
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 […]
Travel is all about enhancing the senses. In its basic form travel is about going on a wild ride to discover textures of the world. Watch the waves crash and foam on sandy shores as you journey coast to coast, marvel at the jagged peaks of barren ridges […]
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 […]
The night before we had stayed a two-hour drive from the Neuschwanstein castle opting for a very early morning rather than paying outrageously expensive hotel costs to sleep near the very touristic castle. I must confess that before visiting I knew very little about Neuschwanstein Castle. During the tour Anita […]
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 […]
