The Places We Set Up Camp in 2020 In 2020 we bought our first van, a 2008 Jayco Hawk. Unfortunately, also in 2020, travelling and camping became highly restricted for obvious reasons. Considering that, we think we have done all right, setting up camp in 25 different locations over three trips of about two weeks …
With very limited travel happening around the world, we are left to reminisce about some of the highlights of our travels over the years, and places that we would one day love to return to. One of our best memories of our around the world trip in 2005 was a visit to the medieval town …

We had to abort our most recent road trip due to the coronavirus, and while we wait for the borders to reopen so we can continue that trip, we are taking the chance to explore more of our home state of Western Australia, including relaxing at the beach in Coral Bay in the north-west. We …
Our last newsletter announced our upcoming two-month big adventure travelling around Australia, which was subsequently very short-lived thanks to COVID19. Not long after we hit the road Australia (and the rest of the world) was quickly shutting down and we had to head back to Western Australia before the border was fully closed. We lasted …
Are you stuck at home, unable to travel in this post-virus world?
