My husband is Portuguese. To be more specific, he is Madeiran. Madeira for those who don’t know is a tiny (very tiny) island off the coast of Portugal. Almost closer to Morocco. A few years ago I was lucky enough to visit the island to meet his dad. We had already been together for more […]
Read MoreThis year my friends bought me a Polaroid camera for my birthday. And it’s the greatest gift anyone has ever given me. (other than my divine AR turntable) I own a decent Nikon but rarely use it when I travel (I know I know) I just don’t like lugging it around. I tend to take […]
Read MoreI love London. It’s as simple as that. I keep going back and each time it gets harder and harder to leave it behind. Yes, you feel different about a city once you live there. But I can honestly say it would take me a very long time to get sick of London. As Samuel […]

He proceeded to […]
Read MoreMy brother in law and I thought it would be fun to go camping for a few days this holiday. We figured we had two tents, a Land Rover and the rest we would just figure out. Since masses flock to the beaches, the Klein Karoo seemed to be the perfect choice. Quiet, cool stops […]

Read MoreOscar and I decided to go away for a weekend. I asked him to make the booking. For some reason I end up making most of our travel bookings and arrangements and this time I just wanted to be taken away and not plan or think about it. But little did I know Oscars idea […]
Read MoreI do not have a full passport. I do not live on the road. I do not own a GoPro to film me diving into waterfalls and jumping out of planes. I do not visit extravagant resorts. I hate packing. I hate unpacking even more. I am average. I do average things and visit average […]

You will find many glorious travel blogs and sites of the most beautiful resorts around the globe. You can find lists of what to pack in matching luggage. Gosh, the world is full of travel bloggers who take amazing photos that leave you wanting to up and leave your day job and travel the world. I am not that travel blogger. I live to travel and discover new places. Sometimes that includes places right down the road. Sometimes it involves a long haul flight or two. I am average. I travel on an average budget, I travel with average luggage and gadgets but I tell extraordinary stories.
