Can you bring young kids on a safari trip to Kruger?
Can you bring young kids on a safari trip? That’s the question we asked our selves when we started to think about our adventure in South Africa. We have been on safari’s numerous times with just the two of us and we know we like to be in the bush looking at wildlife. But long days in the car, boring if you don’t see a lot, short span of attention, hot days, cold nights……there are plenty of reasons why not to try this with kids. But we also know that many South Africans do bring their kids and by doing so they instil a love for nature and wildlife into their kids hearts and minds. This is one...
Read MoreBack home and still traveling?
Is it possible to have it all? How to go back ‘home’ while traveling Coming from California and traveling to South Africa we had a choice.

Read MoreWhere to go when you have 7 weeks in Hawaii?
When we made plans for our round the world trip, Hawaii always was on the list. We like volcano’s so we wanted to see the youngest and most active volcano on earth and we would also like to experience some of the best beaches in the world. Also Hawaii makes a nice stop on a journey between New Zealand and the USA. So we booked a flight to Honolulu and a flight out of Honolulu 7 weeks later and didn’t make any plans for the time in between. The state Hawaii consists of eight major islands and several small atolls and islets: Oahu, Big Island, Maui and Kauai are the four largest, while Lanai...
