We had already broken the first rule of driving in Africa – Don’t drive at night. We quickly understood this rule because as we were searching for our campsite (in the dark) a huge antelope jumped directly in front of our car. We weren’t in a national park or game reserve this was just a […]
An Ocean View on the Chilean Coast
Prior to arriving in Chile we heard of both Valparaíso and Viña del Mar as two cities that we should visit on the coast. They are popular and easily reached, since they are only an 1.5 bus ride from Santiago. I wanted to get to the coast, since I had spent almost 6 weeks in […]
Photo Essay: Victoria Falls From Zimbabwe
We signed up for a tour to Victoria Falls through our campsite, loaded into the van with 10 other fellow campers and started driving to…Zimbabwe? Our first tip would be make sure you know which country you are going to prior to the day you are actually on the tour. For us, it didn’t so […]
RTW Budget Update: Vietnam
We stayed 23 days in Vietnam and budgeted $40 per day for two people, and thanks to a lazy final week in Hanoi we came in at $36 per day. This includes the additional ATM fees due to losing our Schwab card, but is only representative of our daily expenditures. We didn’t include the tailored clothes […]
Foto Friday – Duke, The Skateboarding Dog in Santiago
If you read our review yesterday about Castilla Surfista Hostel and thought we were joking – here is video proof! Jonathan has taught his rescued dog, Duke, to Skateboard. He currently can get on the board himself and push off with his paw in a straight line and skateboard for a good distance if a bone is involved. […]
A Surfer and a Skateboarding Dog in Santiago
A California surfer in Santiago, Chile…with a skateboarding dog? This has to be too good to be true. We arrive at Castillo Surfista knowing that it was rated #1 on Trip Advisor, but still skeptical since it only opened in January 2012. Jonathan surpassed all our expectations. This was by far one of the most […]
Halong Bay: Preservation vs Tourism
Halong Bay, an UNESCO world heritage site, has long catered to tourists visiting the northern coast of Vietnam. Impressing everyone with its jagged limestone cliffs and intricate topography. Touring the Bay Halong Bay is located 3 hours from Hanoi, which makes a day trip difficult. Staying at least 1 night will allow you to see the bay and […]
We Got Travel Lazy in Argentina
For three weeks we lost it. The travel wind blew out of our sails and we officially became travel lazy. We’ve been on the go since the beginning of the year, exploring new places and constantly reseraching what to do/see/eat next. Any perpetual traveler will agree that when you are in travel mode – staying somewhere for […]
Foto Friday: Cafe Tortoni in Buenos Aires
Cafe Tortoni is the oldest cafe in Buenos Aires, originally created to be a meeting point for writers and artists, tango musicians, and politicians. Stained glass decorates the ceiling and dark wood fills the room.
The Dumbest Tour I Have Ever Been On
Everyone has their own interests and priorities when they travel so I’m not interested in hearing why I should have given this tour a better chance. My opinions are my own…and I hated it. We had left Etosha National Park early that morning on our self-drive safari through Botswana and Namibia. After setting up camp […]
