Welcome to our blog, so glad you found us!
After selling everything we owned, we set off on an Overland journey through the Americas that lasted 5 years from 2015 to 2020.
When the pandemic hit, closing land borders throughout the world, we traded our Expedition vehicle for 2 backpacks, to explore more of this incredible world in search of new cultures, exciting adventures, like minded friends and good food …
In 2020, we flew to Turkey where we stayed three months before moving on to Egypt for an additional three months …
In 2021, we traveled to no less than 16 countries during the pandemic. From Northern Africa to Europe and Asia.
We spent most of 2022 in Southeast Asia.
The first half of 2023 was all about discovering other parts of Asia, and in the second half we made it to Oceania, our 7th continent!
This travel blog is not a “how to”, it’s more of a personal journal of our journey. We started it to keep in touch with friends and family. No professional expertise but lots of photos and stories about our favorite spots and the people we meet along the way.
We are a retired couple living on a pension so we are not rich but sometimes we like to splurge like hopping on an Expedition ship to Antartica or celebrating our birthdays in the Maldives.
When it comes to accommodations, we like to mix it up with Hostel stays, renting apartments or villas for extended periods in interesting places, hotels, beach bungalows, homestays, vanlife and housesitting in beautiful homes around the world.
We are not into extreme sports but sometimes we do crazy things like driving an expedition vehicle from Alaska to Argentina or paraglide over a canyon in Colombia, ride camels in the Sahara, live for 4 months in the paddy fields of Sri Lanka or explore Northern India on a photo tour … well you get the idea.
No professional photographers here either but I have developed a passion for photography, especially for beautiful architecture, natural landscape and interesting faces …
