Experience Life Outdoors In North America: What To Pack For Your Skiing Adventures

What To Pack For A Skiing Adventure | How Far From Home

As we enjoy the smells and feels of Summer approaching us here in South Africa, a lot of our readers are getting ready for Winter already. Many people across North America are dreaming about the coming snow and exploring the beautiful winter wonderland in a post-lockdown world, so today's post is for all of y'all planning some upcoming skiing adventures. Let's start off by saying that the two best ways to enjoy the snow are flying down the slopes on a set of skis (or so we've been told, as our experience in speedy skis is limited to the training slopes of Finland) or gliding across the snow on a cross-country skiing adventure (like that time we did it when visiting...

69 Lessons Learned After Traveling To The Moon

Lessons Learned Whilst Traveling To The Moon

Last week we reached a ridiculous, we-still-cannot-fathom-it milestone. Whilst flying over Vienna during our South-Africa-to-Amsterdam flight, we clocked over 384,400km traveled since leaving home originally on March 2nd 2015. It seems like a random number, but according to science, 384,400km (238,855 miles) is the exact distance between the Earth and the Moon. Travel goals for a couple who left home to see how far from home they could go?! Umm, YES! It’s taken us 3 years and 7 weeks to reach the moon. Sure, NASA or SpaceX could do it quicker, but would they have as many memories as us?! And would they have learned as much as us? Ok...

Practicing Minimalism: A Guide From Two Full-Time Travellers

This week’s post’s goal is to inspire a little minimalism. Although we don’t shout it from the rooftops, we are huge advocates for living a simple, yet meaningful life. Since having our epiphany and giving up our work-hard-to-buy-stuff-and-then-buy-more-stuff life back in Johannesburg, to live a save-save-save-then-spend-on-experiences kind of life, we’ve had to adjust, and I mean really adjust. Besides the obvious things like furniture and house cleaning goods (because, well, we simply have no house for them), there are a few things we have actively and voluntarily removed from our lives, simply because we find no use for them anymore. So whether you’re living a 9-to-5 life like we used to, or you yourself are a full time traveller, we hope this...
