Traveling and living abroad is full of experiences, some more challenging than others. But those prepare us to handle whatever comes our way..

You may be wondering how to lead your kids through this pandemic. Jane has a few thoughts on this topic, drawing on her background as head of leadership development for a 5 billion dollar company.

The Coronavirus has made for difficult times. Living in Argentina has raised the stakes for our decisions. We are making the most of an otherwise bad situation.

On our way from Quito to Bariloche, we spent a week in beautiful Buenos Aires. As newly arrived gringos, we were struck by several things different from the United States.

Friends, family, adventure - what more can you need! We got that and more in our week in beautiful Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in eastern Alaska. So much goodness, it will take two blog posts.

After our initial foray into life in an overland vehicle, we have decided to shift our setup. This post explores the why, what, and how of this big development.

While roving all over the northwest, Jane takes a moment to appreciate, well, moments. Whether it’s an amazing beach, surprises from nature, or just hanging out, it is important to recognize how important and precious these moments are.

Breaking down on the road is an ever present worry. And even though you are prepared for it, a breakdown is bad experience. Now imagine that you are in the middle of nowhere and there are serial killers in the area.

After being in our new lifestyle for a few months, Jane finds some insight into how she can best have a healthy and active life.

As parents, we have always been on the less screen time side of the spectrum. However, Wolf does have a tablet where he can watch educational oriented shows. Until, at least, until his behavior changes.

Wolf has always been an active little boy. Especially when it comes to climbing. From the zoo to the park, we would get disapproving looks and sometimes intervention from other parents who apparently felt it was not safe. But is it safer to be “careful”?

There we were… taking a leisurely hop over to town to send some documents to close on the sale of our house. An easy errand for sure. It didn’t quite turn out that way.

Creativity, free expression, writing, drawing - a four year old’s journal truly has it all!

This may not be the most important mystery out there (at least while DB Cooper is still out there), but it should be solved none the less. What is going on with my dog’s butt?

Vehicle dependent travel comes with innumerable decisions. One that confronted us upon our test drive to Overland Expo West was what to use to heat our vehicle. Decision #78 is the result.

A vehicle is chosen and the fun begins! Well… actually, what begins is the somewhat difficult process of transforming it into the truck we wanted.

Overlanding presents limitless possibilities of roads you may travel. As does the approach you take. By defining our mission, we take out first steps.
