Namibia has been on our bucket list since pre COVID. Originally, we had plans for a South Africa + Namibia road trip but with the pandemic, we ended up only visiting South Africa. Fast forward five years and we finally did it! If you’re dreaming of an epic self-drive adventure […]

Marble Caves. I cannot remember the first time I had seen a photo of it but I know it was at least a decade ago. It’s been a dream of mine to visit and I finally got to see it for myself! It’s located along the Carretera Austral – a […]

Bom Jardim, Nobres (Mato Grosso) might just be one of Brazil’s most underrated destinations. Often compared to Bonito but quieter, cheaper and far less touristy — this small village in central Brazil is packed with crystal-clear rivers, natural freshwater springs, limestone caves and vibrant wildlife, including blue-and-yellow macaws. Located just […]

Is Antarctica on your dream bucket list? Trying to figure out if you’re gonna be able to fulfill this dream? You might be wondering if you’re getting the best bang for your buck… If you are like me, you might’ve gone down a rabbit hole of searching “how much does […]

I’ll admit – I hadn’t really heard about the Pantanal until a couple of years ago when my husband shared what was on his bucket list. Obviously, curious, I ended up finding more about it and followed some amazingly talented photographers. Really pushed me to want to see it for […]

Madagascar is one of those places that completely surprises you! Especially if you came to the country with little to no expectations… the wild landscapes, copious amounts of baobabs, lemurs up in the trees and picturesque beaches. Road tripping around Madagascar sounds like such an adventure and a dream – […]

Mozambique is one of those destinations that sneaks up on you. While it sometimes gets a bad rap in the news, don’t let that fool you. This southeastern African gem offers endless beaches, turquoise waters and seafood so fresh it might just whisper your name. But what does it really […]

Maybe we’re biased, but the best way to experience Namibia (and Southern Africa in general) is by camping. Forget generic hotel rooms. Out here, the real magic happens in nature. The weather is perfect for it (though nights can get chilly), and nothing beats falling asleep under skies so clear […]

Planning a trip to Madagascar? Then you’ve probably come across Ranomafana National Park… it’s one of the country’s most famous wildlife spots and a must on any Madagascar itinerary.

Winding dirt roads, cold nights, and mountain passes that make your stomach flip… overlanding Lesotho is wild in all the right ways!

Let’s be real… leaving my corporate engineering job for a year of travel was a nerve-wrecking leap into the unknown. But so far? No regrets. We kicked off our African adventure right in the Heart of Africa *Burundi* before starting our 4 day tour to visit the primates of Rwanda-Uganda. […]
