..is like watching paint dry, or waiting on water to boil or grass to grow. Wow, I think this could be a great category for $25,000 Pyramid. It seems like Monday morning arrives quickly enough and the date for your root canal spontaneously appears on your “today” calendar, but adventure seems to take a lifetime [...]
We All Pick Up Dog Poop
We’ve been home now 6 days after traveling 4 1/2 months. The laundry is finally done (though not all put away), the house is clean, the outdoor living areas prepped for winter and the doctor appointments done for now. The first wave of “getting home” is finished. I’m just now feeling like I’m back. Then [...]
Taking a Break from Carpe Diem – 50 Ways to Recharge
As the Adventure Couple we are firm believers in Carpe Diem, in living life to it’s fullest, in making the most of every day, every opportunity, allowing for serendipity, jumping in with both feet, taking the “E” ticket, and every other iteration of the cliche. But it seems about once a year, as I look [...]
The Circle of Life
I was driving south of Denver and it was a bluebird kind of day, bumping up against the edge of 70 degrees. It was Tuesday and all I had to do was drive until I decided to stop, throw up a tent somewhere peaceful, maybe by a lake, climb into my sleeping bag and coze [...]
One of the best conversations I never had
One of the biggest fears in travel is arriving in a place not speaking the local language. I think this fear often steers travelers in the direction of same language countries. After all, how much easier for it for an American to travel to Australia than Austria? Americans of course, tend to be among the [...]
Most Accidents Happen at Home…Another Reason to ADVENTURE!
I am making a play for Adventure (aren’t I ALWAYS!), for traveling away from home and experiencing the magic of the world. And how am I going to do it? I’m going to SCARE you into it! HA! Every year, nearly 20,000 people die and 21 million medical visits are needed due to home [...]

The Downside of An Adventure Job
Over the past months, I’ve extolled the joys of living an adventurous life. Of course it is necessary to pay for an adventurous life and there again I have written volumes on the virtues of adventure jobs. In my last post, Living Your Best Life, I posted photos of exotic locations and talked about canoeing [...]
Overland Expo – This was WAY cool!
Where did We Go? Last weekend we attended the Overland Expo in Amado, Arizona. It’s only the second annual but already is quickly gaining momentum because overlanding enthusiasts are well….enthusiastic about their community, the world, adventure, giving back and hitting the road. But what exactly is overlanding? To be honest, three weeks ago, I didn’t [...]
