This was my second experience interacting with stingrays in the Caribbean. The first time was in a gated area at a marina park in Jamaica. This experience at Sting Ray City in Antigua was out in the ocean on waist deep sandbank where standing, the stingrays swirled around […]
When it comes to busy places, there is no competing with India. It’s insane. Click on this video from Youtube and you will get a glimpse of what I’m talking about. Below, I have decided this week to include an unreleased sneak preview from my upcoming memoir, “Rusty […]
Obsession is the name of this dynamic fishing excursion company. This was our second deep sea fishing experience and the first one where we actually caught fish! WOW! I’m completely head over heels in love with deep sea fishing. It was so thrilling to have my first fish on […]
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 […]
I have seen so much and yet there is so much more I haven’t. We tried to get into Iran while we were in the area back in 2006 but were not able to get visa’s 🙁 . Although Ammon did finally get a visa and visit a […]
Last week on Twitter we had a big chat on the topic of SMALL TOWNS on “The Road Less Travelled” (#TRLT). When all of you hear the words, “travel destination” I know what comes to your mind; Big cities like Paris, London, Rome, Tokyo, Cairo, Amsterdam. Wonders like […]

Last week we were to talk about CONFIDENCE; who has it, why we need it, and how we attain this incredibly valuable life skill. We grow as a result of increasing confidence, those who have it, make it. Those who don’t, fail. Everybody wants to get more of […]
I have been to Guinea twice now and going back the second time, after our family’s unforgettable backpacking trip around the world, gave me a completely different view of the country. The first time I was beat up by the road and it was hard to see past […]

Shortly after Mom and I split from our RTW family backpacking trip the first time, Bree and Ammon headed into Greece to vist Thessaloniki on there way to Turkey. They shared wonderful photos and had many great memories shared with locals they met via couch surfing that had […]
Last week we had a great #TRLT’s Twitter Travel chat on LESSONS. Having traveled to 110+ countries over the past 12 years, I have learned an abundance of lessons by talking to locals, experiencing cultures first hand and most importantly, by making mistakes!
