Hiking in High Heels

Today. August 24. We have been in Australia for 8 months. 8 months today. 8 months ago we landed in Australia and began one of our greatest adventures, leaving family and friends, leaving our life, to live and work in Australia for 1 year. 

Today. It’s a strange reality...

In July thousands of Australians from across the country, and some travellers from beyond (like this Canadian), journey to Bashville for a music festival in the desert. You won’t find Bashville on any Australian road map. Bashville is not a town where you can stock up...

It's not uncommon to spot rental campervans and motorhomes touring the north and south islands of New Zealand. Why be committed to a hotel or AirBnB booking when freedom camping gives you the opportunity to explore and camp anywhere? After a day of driving and touring,...

The park offers a variety of activities for single or multi day adventures on land and water. Walking tracks inland and coastal, beach front camping areas, 4WD tracks, fishing, canoeing or kayaking, day use areas, whale watching, kangaroo spotting...choose your own adv...

With 4x4 outback cred comes great adventure! It also comes with a degree of experience and responsibility. 

When we purchased Max, our Patrol, it was well equipped and had everything we needed. We bought a few extras, like a set of Maxtrax, to aid our 4x4 adventuring. H...

...and on your lips and on your eyeballs and in your ears! No joke. F-ing bush flies.

As a Canadian I pride myself on being able to tough it out. Seriously. I can handle -40℃. In fact, I welcome it (sort of). Bring it on Old Man Winter. Bring it! In the summer I can h...

"What kind of vehicle do we want for the 1 year we're living and working in Australia?" That has been a burning question which has sparked much conversation for most of 2018. We knew we wanted a vehicle that would maximize our Australia adventure....Beach camping. Bush...

Today is January 8, 2019. 

Today my hiking boots touched Australian soil. I’ve been keen for my Keens to log their first hike in Australia. I thought it would be an early morning gorge hike at Cape Range, but who wants to hike a river gorge when snorkeling in the India...

9 am. I'm driving along the Trans Canada highway heading to Kananaskis Country. I look in the rearview mirror and see rolling prairie hills; I've definitely left Calgary behind. A few cars pass, some with mountain bikes and I wonder what trail they'll be riding today.I...
