On Insanity, Self-Loathing and the Life-or-Death Struggle for Inner Peace
Have you lost your mind? On the outside, nothing changes. Your heart beats your lungs breathe and – to the outside world, at least – you appear to be a normal, functioning member of society but underneath it all your mind has gone stark-raving mad.
Swimming with Sharks and Video
The last time we swam with sharks we were in Belize while diving our way through Central America in 2003. We aren’t diving again yet, but we did snorkel in some of the most exotic waters on earth here in the Galapagos.
Too Much of a Good Thing
The other day I posted a photo on my Facebook page of the swimming pool we have with our giant suite at Taheima Resort in Puerto Vallarta We have all the decadence of a Hollywood star and we are privileged to be able to catch a glimpse of what it is like to be rich.
Boobies Boobies Everywhere
The Galapagos Blue Footed Booby is the star attraction of the Ecuadorian islands. Unique to the area, these birds strut their stuff showing off their beautiful blue feet to attract their mate. This one was stomping from side to side as we drove by on our boat tour of the harbour of Isabella Island.
Representing Roots Round the World

The Antarctic Expedition Experience Explained
What’s it like to cruise to Antarctica? Nobody really knows what to expect when going on an expedition to Antarctica. We know that we are going to see penguins and whales and a lot of snow and ice, but what is life like on the ship?

The Golden star of India is the Golden Temple of Amritsar. Some people say it is the most beautiful temple in India and It didn’t disappoint.
Food from Around the World – Our Adventures in Dining
Travel without trying new food is like Angelina and Brad flying without a brood of children in tow. It just isn’t right. That is why tasting delectable dishes during our journeys around the world is the most important part of our day!
The Sky is on Fire
We witnessed some of the most spectacular sunsets in New Zealand and this one on the South Island was no exception. I remember camping high on this cliff and looking out over the colours of the sky in awe.
Camping in Antarctica, The Videos and More Tales
Camping in Antarctica is certainly one of the most unique things we will ever do in our lives. To sleep on the 7th continent with nothing but a bivy sac and a sleeping bag between you and the snow is one of the most adventurous things we could do at the bottom of the world.
The Chinstrap Stretch in Antarctica
Penguins really are as cute as they look. As someone said to us from our expedition to Antarctica, they could watch penguins play all day, the common penguin retains it’s cuteness throughout the entire trip.
Travel Inspiration – Defying Expectations
I was back in the airport for the third time in four days. Earlier that day I had interviewed for a marketing position in Daytona Beach. It was right up my alley. I should have been thrilled.
Notre Dame Cathedral from the River Seine
I think that everyone has a favourite landmark in Paris and ours happens to be Notre Dame. The imposing gothic cathedral stands regally on the banks of the Seine. The front facade may be the popular spot for photographers, but this view from the other side of the river is our favourite view.
The Villa above the Clouds
Bella Italia! Italy is scrumptious. We only spent 4 days in the Cinque Terre region but it was enough of a taste to know that we want to see more.
Camping in Antarctica
Each year 30,000 people visit Antarctica, only two thirds actually land on the continent there are a handful of people foolish enough to camp at the bottom of the world.
Driftwood at Sunset in New Zealand
We spent many a night camping on the beach with the Flying Kiwi in New Zealand. Every night we were treated to a gorgeous sunset. The country is beautiful from tip to toe
