Muay Thai Kickboxing

We have wanted to take a kick boxing course since visiting Thailand for the first time in 2000. It was an amazing adventure learning from actual fighters from Thailand in the beautiful south. Check out our pain and suffering.

Climbing Adventures

We love rock climbing. Since we started traveling full time we don’t get to do it as much as we used to, but we always try to swing in a climb or two where ever we go. We’d love to take a month to get back into it at one of the places listed below!

Our Adventures in the Desert

We are always drawn to the desert when we travel. There is nothing like being in a great expanse. The desert is vast and to camp in the middle of one is like no other experience on earth.

Our Rocky Mountain Adventures

The Chevy Equinox Rocky Mountain Adventure was the very first press trip that we went on. When General Motors Canada invited us to go out to Alberta to drive their new model through the mountains and take on great adventures, how could we say no?

Our Alaskan Adventures

Spending time in Alaska was a dream come true. We have always been drawn to the north and to witness Alaskas magnificent glaciers, fly in helicopters over ice fields and catching a birds eye view of Denali was an experience we will never forget.
