Pre Antarctica Pampering in Ushuaia
We were happy to leave our overpriced Hosteria in Ushuaia and move on to the Quark Expeditions pre boarding hotel, the Las Hayas Resort. Prices are super duper high in Ushuaia
Snowshoeing a Niagara Winery
People are always looking for unique ways to enjoy a wine tasting. We’ve heard of horseback riding from winery to winery, cycling between vineyards, hiring a private bus or limo, or running a marathon between wineries like Marathon Du Medoc in France where athletes taste wine during the 42 km event. However, this is the [...]
Jamaica: Beyond the Beach
While it’s amazing to have a gorgeous suite to lay our heads, we normally spend our days exploring our destination to the fullest, and luckily our hosts understood that about us and made sure that we sampled everything!
Jamaica, Fun in the Sun
When travelling to the Jamaica you have got to get yourself on the water. Too many people stick to the resorts basking in the sun and although they are a lot of fun, there is nothing better than sailing the Caribbean Sea.
Inspired at the Summit of Mount Roy
As I stood, speechless, at the top of Mount Roy in New Zealand, triumphant laughs and hugs were exchanged as we took turns taking photos of one another.I had only been living in Wanaka for a few months but it had become my home, and these people, my family.
Changing Tires, The Contrasts of Canada vs Mongolia
I learned to change a tire during the Mongol Rally. I hadn’t changed one before and even though Dave changed all the tires during the drive to Mongolia, I am confident that on our next road trip, I will be the one changing our tires on the car.

By Land or By Sea: Getting Active in Greece
As the nights draw in, it’s unlikely that anyone’s thoughts are going to turn to living it up on the Mediterranean. The days of sun, sea and surplus cocktails are firmly behind us.
A Ger to Remember
It was at a Ger Camp just outside Khvod in Western Mongolia. We had seen many Gers (also known as Yurts outside of Mongolia) during our drive through the country on the Mongol Rally.
Driving in Mongolia Equals Tons of Fun!
Driving in Mongolia during the Mongol Rally was exciting for us all. We had survived police corruption in Kazakhstan. We had avoided paying bribes in Ukraine and we had made it safely through Russia when others had suffered from robberies and muggings.
River Crossings, Driving Excitement and Adventure
We were worried about the river crossings during the Mongol Rally once we reached Mongolia. We had heard that we would have to be towed across flowing bodies of water and that there would be a possibility of our cars engine flooding which would mean game over for us en route to Mongolia.
Outdoor Living on The Mongol Rally
We love camping. Have we ever told you that? Sherry and Rick had told us that they didn’t do much camping before the Mongol Rally and didn’t know what to expect, but I think we have made converts out of them.
A Day in the Mongol Rally
So what is a typical day like during the first half of the Mongol Rally? Do you envision excitement and adventure? Well there definitely is an element every once in awhile, But for the most part it is driving, driving and more driving.
The Loop : Motorcycle Adventures Through Laos
I wanted to cross from northern Thailand into Laos, and I wanted to do it overland by motorcycle. Crossing between Nakon Phanom and Ta Khek is the starting place for a journey quickly becoming popular with those seeking adventure – The Loop.
The Fab Four Climbs of Dave and Deb
Shredded Wheat Canada is giving away a $100 gift card to mec. As their resident travel experts we thought we’d share our favorite climbing spots around the world.
Camels at Sunset in Wadi Rum
We had been on a camel safari before in India, but we didn’t feel that we had truly experienced our Lawrence of Arabia moment until we rode camels in the Arabian Desert. And what better place than Wadi Rum, Jordan; Lawrence of Arabia’s old stomping ground.
Are You Brave Enough To Climb Africa’S Mount Kilimanjaro?
Support for Internation Change (SIC) has teamed up with The Peaks Foundation, to organize a ‘1 Peak 1 Week Kilimanjaro Challenge’ to support women in Tanzania living with HIV/AID
