    Canada, Wellness / 15.09.2020

    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...

    New York / 17.11.2019

    New York is (as POTUS puts it) “HUUUUGE” and there is no shortage of things to do. If you love food, New York can offer you any kind of cuisine your taste buds desire; if you love night life, there are shiny bars and clubs around every corner; if you love the performing arts, well, the city currently has forty-one Broadway theatres, so take your pick; and if you love sightseeing, there is certainly no shortage of things to see and explore. But with so much to see and do, NYC can be daunting as a first- or even second-time visitor, which is why we’re here to help you create the ultimate New York itinerary. We’ve been fortunate enough to visit...

    Vermont / 27.10.2018

    If you’ve ever wondered what time of year to visit Vermont, let us come right out and say that it HAS to be Autumn. The white steeples of the chapels and churches are popping in the charming towns of Manchester and Burlington, in perfect contrast to the nature show of burnt orange and red. The temperature is dropping, coating the Green Mountains with blankets of fog. Wafts of apple cider and maple syrup (ALL the maple syrup) fill the air around the cute stops on the side of the road (which are all dressed up for the Halloween festivities). Does it get any more quaint (or picturesque) than that?     Renting a car should be mandatory, because there’s really no better way...

    Arizona, BE INSPIRED, Canada, Czechia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Namibia, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Sweden / 19.01.2018

    As originally seen on Traveller24   It’s been a crazy, wild, unforgettable (and slightly unbelievable) journey, travelling full-time for nearly three years. We’ve done some extraordinary things, and we’ve been to places we hadn’t even heard of when we left on our trip in March 2015. But every great journey starts somewhere, and for us, it was our Wanderlist (our own affectionate term for our traveling Bucket List) that turned our “someday” dream into a tangible trip of a lifetime. Back in early 2014 (when traveling around the world was a mere figment of our ambitious imagination), we decided to write down on a piece of paper, all the wonderful dreamy things we’ve always wanted to do (you know, in case we ended...

    California / 07.11.2016

    This could be the longest blog post I ever write, or the shortest, as I could tell you why you should visit San Francisco, or why you shouldn’t. Ever since I was a little toothless jelly bean watching Full House re-runs on my VCR back in the early 90s, I’ve dreamed of visiting the Painted Ladies, Golden Gate Bridge and the beaches that surround the city of San Fran. I must admit, when we were planning our USA trip, San Fran was probably the first thing I wrote down on the itinerary. So as part of our West Coast road trip – the 3-week excursion we enjoyed in September – we made our last stop the beautiful San Francisco. And beautiful...

    Arizona, California, Creativity, Nevada, Utah / 17.10.2016

    Chances are you have “road-trip in USA” somewhere on your bucket list. Whether it’s driving the historic Route 66, or meandering through valleys, deserts and coastlines (either on the West or East Coast), USA’s wide open spaces, and variety of landscapes and views, really do make it the ideal place for a road trip, and the ideal place to take sensationally good photographs.   [embed]https://youtu.be/2P-1X2pPiyI[/embed]   Our own four-wheeled USA adventure began in Nevada, where we picked up our JUCY camper (our home for the life-changing three weeks that lay ahead) and drove, leaving Las Vegas in the dust. Over 2500km planned, we quite literally moved into the van, having car up front, kitchen in the back, bed on top, and dressing room somewhere...
