Two guys, plus one tiny car, equaled one big adventure.
36 Hours of Adventure: Sand and Seas
Our plan was to make it to the beach before dark, so naturally we arrived well after it. I had expected as much. Something about keeping to a schedule while escaping meetings, emails, and calendars just doesn’t jive with me. Unfortunately, navigating the unfamiliar shores of an island at night doesn’t jive well either, so…
Maggie in Africa: What We Have Learned So Far
Deciding to take a year off to travel through 20+ African countries requires considerable preparation to ensure a smooth journey and to avoid situations that could derail our plans, temporarily or entirely. For those of our readers who may be thinking, “how on earth can you travel through so many countries,” or “you must be completely…
Maggie in Africa: The Highs and Lows of Life on the Road in Africa
“It’ll be amazing,” they said. “A trip of a lifetime,” they said.

At times it can be really, really hard, but…
72 Hours of Adventure in Tierra del Fuego
Tierra del Fuego. The very name conjures up images of great 16th-century explorers, precariously navigating their tall ships through the iceberg-filled archipelago. These days, the exploration vehicle of choice is a 4×4, as apart from National Route 3, you will find no paved roads here. It’s wild, rugged, and remote. Just how the end of…
Overland Commute: UK to Mali
I’ve always regarded blogs as harbouring the sort of self-indulgent small talk which bores us all; inane, desultory, mini-updates neither telling a story nor addressing a point. An incoherent musing of one’s day-to-day life written by those who seem to have overlooked the stories that readers might actually want to hear. So, it came as…
Desk To Glory: Canadian Drives
Headed North? Here are three drives to put under your tires.
Solo en Baja
I had never been to Mexico prior to this trip. Also, being Swedish meant that my Spanish was pretty much non-existent. That wasn’t going to stop me. I could not have been more excited about my solo road trip to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico. I had been planning it for quite some time. What…
Landcruising Adventure: Life in Argentina’s Wilderness, the Chaco
It’s dry, hot, and profoundly remote. Just where we would expect to find Karin and Coen.
Porsche 911 Safari – The Keen Project
Roebling Road Raceway was first opened in 1959 and still maintains many of its simple charms today. The paddock primarily consists of grass and dirt with the exception of a small paved route that carries cars to and from pit lane. Approximately eighty percent of the track is surrounded by a small pine forest…
