One fine day in March 2011 we decided to head out and try out some rafting in Bali. It was a cloudy and windy day and as we drove away from the city towards the countryside, things started turning greener. A LOT greener! We finally ended up at this really … more »
As we drove through Freedom, Wyoming towards the Grand Teton National Park we came across several tiny cowboy towns with relics from the good ol’ days of American road tripping. These little gas tanks still work! It’s amazing how well preserved they are considering how old they look. We were … more »
La Paz, the sort of capital of Bolivia (Bolivia seems split between two capitals they can’t quite settle on – the other is Sucre) is at a dizzying altitude of 3,650m (11,975 ft). That wasn’t enough for us so we took this picture from the 7th floor of our hostel. … more »

So here’s something neat that we came across out of pure chance. The first few days that we arrived in Lisbon, the temperatures were incredibly high! The mercury was touching 40C (104F) and places here are ill equipped for this kind of weather (no fans, air conditioning, etc.). So we … more »
This is the kind of place I would love to go back to one day when we have kids. Heart Six is a beautiful collection of wooden cabins inside the ranch, in the most privileged of locations in Wyoming. The view of the surrounding snow-capped mountains you get … more »
