El Salvador and Honduras (in a hurry)
More adventure with Ammon, Sasha and Maggie (mom): As I mentioned in my last post, we were trying to get to El Salvador by boat from Nicaragua because my passport situation required it. Mom’s passport situation required us to start moving very quickly because we now had less […]
Caribbean Side of Panama and Costa Rica
Sorry for the delay in posting the continuation of Ammon and Sasha’s trip. My computer died and now I have replaced it and we carry on with the travels: Almost everyone I’ve talked to that has been to Panama has told me that I must visit Bocas del […]
Bogota to Cartagena
Ammon and Sasha contiune on: With Mom now in tow we wanted to make a nice impression. Unfortunately Bogota was not the place to do that. Of all the capitals we visited Bogota was our least favourite. It is a huge city (one of the most populous in […]
Cusco, Peru
Continuing through Peru with Ammon and Sasha: Returning to Cusco we opted to rent a nice little airbnb apartment rather than risk another bad hotel. It was a nice choice for us and enabled us to cook our own food and hide away from most of the hassle. […]
Lake Titicaca (Bolivia and Peru)
More fun with Ammon and Sasha in Bolivia: Lake Titicaca is only a couple of hours away from La Paz and is a popular local weekend getaway. So we went during the week and found it relatively quiet. Lake Titicaca is the largest lake in South America and […]
Uyuni to La Paz, Bolivia
Continue the journey with Ammon and Sasha: Having experienced the salt flats, we gave ourselves 2 nights to recover and get reorganized in Uyuni before moving on. While in Uyuni we made a quick day trip to Pulacayo, a mining semi-ghost town nearby. Nestled in the hills above […]
Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia
Join Ammon and Sasha for more adventures: From La Rioja we took an overnight bus to Jujuy, then jumped on another bus directly to the border, 5 hours away. Along the way we picked up a few other travelers including Andrea, a solo Swiss traveler who we decided […]
Buenos Aires
The honeymoon continues with Ammon and Sasha: Over and over again I have heard of Buenos Aires (BA) as one of the best cities in the world and easily everyone’s favourite capital in Latin America so I had high expectations without really understanding why. Our approach by ferry […]
Mauritius Photo Essay
“Mauritius – Lobster dinner, kitesurfing, beaches, swimming with wild dolphins, walking with lions and driving a segway on safari. Enough said!” – Savannah “Mauritius is a small African island nation just east of Madagascar. Not the typical destination for a trip around southeast Asia. As a personal rough rule of thumb […]
Mauritania Photo Essay
Mauritania definitely is not your typical travel destination. Our time spent in this hot, sandy country was far from a holiday. It was filled with adventure, camel rides through the Sahara Desert, unforgettable experiences and friendly people. In the capital city, Nouakchott, we were blown away by the […]
Malta Photo Essay
Malta was an unexpected bonus on our 4-year-long family trip around the world. Aside from the beauty and history of Malta, it was the people we met there that made it so memorable. We stayed on the Island of Gozo with an incredibly interesting hospitality club host (at […]
My FIRST Mother’s Day Spent in a CASTLE!
I was thrilled to spend my first Mother’s Day in a real-live CASTLE. Despite having lived in Europe for a decade, as a Canadian at heart this was an unforgettably special experience for me. I have been sleeping in a variety of accommodations in 112 countries, anywhere from train station […]
