A typical day adventure at this household will often involve mud, motorized vehicles and accidents! I suppose others’ Easters would have been spent quite differently… “Shall we take the quads out?” “Sure let’s do that.” A few minutes later there were five boys in my yard loading up […]
The moment we decided to visit Vancouver on holiday, I knew I had to arrange a #TRLT in-person tweet meet. Most of you have probably heard about Twitter Travel Chat #TRLT (The Road Less Travelled) that I founded over two years ago. We have members from all over […]
Standing on the historic Ottoman bridge which crosses over the River Miljacka united me with a historic event I would never forget. Now, for some this may ring no bells at all, but “Latin Bridge” is an extremely historic site. It was here that the assassination of Austria’s […]
Our trip to Canada was a very last minute decision, making it a very typical Kees/Savannah kind of holiday. Kees hadn’t been to my hometown in five years, so as you can imagine, being an extremely family oriented girl, I’ve been nagging him to return ever since. His […]
My sister Bree and her boyfriend, Donavin were in town visiting us from Vancouver when we decided to go on a ten-day Holland to Portugal road trip. On our way to Barcelona, Spain, we certainly were not going to miss making a short visit in Andorra. This small country […]
Welcome to Albania! A small, less common travel destination in Europe. The country has beautiful coastlines on the Adriatic sea, and borders Greece, Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia. We visited Albania for a week in the fall of 2006 during our four year backpacking adventure around the world. We […]
As some of you may have already heard, I realized after sitting down to get serious about Vol. 3 in the Sihpromatum series, that it is going to take a miracle to reach my deadline. I want to send my manuscript in to the editor at the beginning […]
Hey guys, just wanted to give you a quick update with book progress. For the past 6 weeks I’ve been busy writing Vol 3 in the Sihpromatum series. My 6 week trip to South America was unforgettable but was a huge distraction from my writing. After quite a […]
Part 2 – Ica Day Trip Adventures After a wonderful tour of Islas Ballestas AKA Poor Man’s Galapagos in the morning, we returned to our hotel, Villa Jasmin, in Ica and relaxed before our sunset tour of the Huacachina Sand Dunes. We felt really spoilt with our […]
Despite only spending 4N/5D in the Tambopata Rainforest with our amazing Rainforest Expeditions guide, Jair, it felt like much longer. The three of us had shared so many laughs, great adventures and meals together. One of the things I admire most about Jair is his continuous love for […]
As night fell the cheerful chirps of cicadas (the only insect capable of sweating, and thus the only ones out during the day) turned to croaks and songs of frogs and crickets. After dinner, we departed on our very last activity in the Tambopata Rainforest. Jair took us […]
We packed up early, left our bags outside our door to be picked up and taken to the Posada Amazonas lodge by those little fairies again while we went on one last activity around Refugio Lodge. By motorized canoe we reached the Posada Amazonas lodge, 45 minutes […]

A slightly painful 3:30am rise to watch the sunrise over the rainforest left us exhausted. We only had a couple hours to rest after breakfast before our private guide, Jair, was knocking at our door. Because it is so remote and a hotspot for wildlife, it’s not uncommon […]
Everyone please help me wish my big brother Ammon a wonderful 36th birthday!!! Have I ever told you about this absurdly cool dude? Well, if you don’t know, Ammon rhymes with salmon, and he is one of the big stars of my “Sihpromatum” travel memoir series. Though I […]
