Travelers know the sound well, “Transport” “Good Quality” “Sarong for the pretty lady” “Yes? Lunch time?” You can’t travel around the globe without being persistently pursued by touts and street vendors. Instead of crossing the street, avoiding eye contact and repeating “no, thank you” over and over again, maybe we should pause and consider what […]

RTW Budget Update: Cambodia
We only stayed 9 days in Cambodia and budgeted $52 per day for two people. We were spot on with an average of $53.51 per day. Our trip took us on the normal tourist track with a few days in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. A trip with more in-country transportation would definitely have an increased average. Exchange rate: […]

Ignore the media and systems that want you to conform and fall in line with the status quo. Be yourself, Stand out and Be Original! This was our favorite motorbike helmet in Thailand.
Shark Cage Diving in South Africa
I have always been intrigued by Great White Sharks. These massive fish can get as large as 6.1m and weigh 1 ton. I am always planted on my couch during “Shark Week” and I have always wanted to see them up close! On our drive down the garden route we teamed up with Great White […]

Our first stop was Stellenbosch, a university town that is known for their wines and rolling countryside. We had spent a week relaxing in Cape Town and were ready to take a breath of fresh country air […]

We spent the day hiking around Tsitsikamma National Park along the Garden Route in South Africa.
Bites and Sites in Stellenbosch
After drinking too much of the endless wine options in Stellenbosch and waking up with berry jam all over my clothes, I decided it was time to find out what else the town had to offer besides wine. A city that boasts of its grape vines had to have more to it. We enlisted two locals, […]
Photo Essay: A Day on an African Safari
5:30 AM – This is actually a late wake up for most safari-ers. Some private lodges and organized tours will get you up at 4 AM to start viewing the animals at their most active times. Our personal self-drive safari was more realistic with a 5:30 AM alarm…and even this was pushing it, but we […]
