Doing something for an extended period of time has never really been my thing.  I fail at all those internet challenges there are out there.  You know what I’m talking…

It’s not often that Seth and I drive into a new town and have the same thoughts about it.  Either I don’t like it for some reason (too humid, lacking…

You guys have no idea how wonderfully freeing it is to have shared our big plans on here.  And yes, to be honest it’s also kind of terrifying – I’m a…

What do cute little penguins, colourful gems and vintage toys have in common?  Simon’s Town that’s what.  As our last ode to the holidays before heading back to work, we…

There once was this family of five that decided to buy a 1978 VW Jurgens Campervan.  In Kimberley.  So they had to drive it all the way back down to…

Isn’t it crazy that we stay in such a beautifully diverse country and yet we seem to stay in the same corner of it all the time? I mean Seth…

Isn’t it incredible how quickly the days pass when you’re having fun?  We woke up on our 7th day away from our babies realising that we only had a couple…

After spending all our time in Florence either jumping on a train to another town or wandering around getting lost in the dark, it was finally time to actually see…

Look at us just sitting at the bus stop waiting for a bus like people that don’t totally hate themselves.  Gosh, I actually can’t tell you how taking the bus…

I don’t know if it’s just because Rome was my first international city or if it’s because I really am a city girl at heart, but saying goodbye to Rome…
