Background Last year, Andy was sitting in the car ready to go at 11am (even though our flight didn’t depart until 5pm). This year was a little different. I had a last minute work trip to Tokyo. I’m not a frivolous work traveller. I really needed to be there. The only problem was that […]
Background Last December, after three years of delays and anticipation, we set off on an Antarctic expedition to our seventh continent. This once in a lifetime trip was a 21 day expedition to the Falklands, South Georgia, and Antarctica. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Well, except for the part where we both […]
In early 2023, we spent three months in Malaysia for work. After six insanely busy weeks, my schedule finally allowed for some exploring beyond the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. We decided on a short road trip to Cameron Highlands, which is located approximately 200 kilometers (124 miles) north of Kuala Lumpur. Originally discovered by […]

The plan was a two-week holiday in Western Australia, flying into Exmouth, picking up a hire car, and driving south to Perth. This was the farthest we’d been from home in 15 months, and coincidentally, our last trip pre-Covid was to Western Australia. Despite case numbers in Australia being extremely low, we had a nagging feeling […]
We rarely go places more than once. Except when it comes to Mala Mala. Every time we visit, we know it won’t be the last. Living in Sydney, we’re a direct flight to Johannesburg (a 14 hour flight, but direct none the less). We’d planned the trip for June (beginning of their winter), and if […]
(Location: Nambung National Park, Western Australia) No, we weren’t sprayed by a skunk. There are no skunks in Australia.
