With its incredible red-cliffed coastline and beautiful, quaint little towns and villages, the Algarve has all the ingredients of the perfect relaxing holiday that you should be dying to go on.

Part Two: Viva Havana!
On day three of the Fathom Impact + Travel cruise on the Adonia, we excitedly woke up to peer outside our portal window and see the vibrant colors of Havana. Once the astonishment of being there finally set in, we boarded our bus and embarked on my first true introduction to the country of Cuba. Our first stop was to Cemetery Colon. The cemetery is named after Christopher Columbus, who ‘discovered’ Cuba, however he is not buried here. The … [Read more...]

Channel Your Inner Cowboy on a Guest Ranch in Bandera, Texas
When Australians go to the USA, statistically, they will most likely hit up Orlando, New York, Chicago and LA. But what about all that land in between? No Texas? No Arizona? No Wyoming? They didn’t even make the top 10. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been to all 4 of those cities and they are fantastic holiday destinations. But what if you want to get off the beaten path a little? On my last trip to the States I spent some time in a few of … [Read more...]

First Week USA Challenge ‘Fifty States of Wigge’
I am currently on my new USA Challenge challenge called ‘Fifty States of Wigge’. That means I have to travel all 50 states in 50 days and I have to face one challenge in each state. My start of the USA challenge was in Maine last week, traveling all by van. The result after seven days is pretty awsome, because I have traveled to already eleven states and drove 1,400 miles. Eleven states sounds way ahead of my schedule, but keep in mind that … [Read more...]
Traveling Kids Grow up Too Fast
Traveling kids have a big advantage over their “stay at home” peers, in my opinion. The world is an amazing place but especially so for young children as everything they see is fresh and exciting, filled with wonder. Traveling with them adds a whole new level of joy and energy to any trip as you feed off their enthusiasm. As I have just discovered, it comes at a long term cost to parents, but more on that later. Little travelers have a … [Read more...]
What it’s like rappelling a Waterfall in Costa Rica
Rappelling a waterfall in Costa Rica is a little like climbing a mountain, you're harnessed in, you're navigating ropes, etc. Except rappelling a waterfall means it's slippery so you will get wet. Oh and you're doing it backwards. At first the idea of doing a waterfall rappel with my two children in tow sounded a bit intimidating. I have never rope climbed, rappelled, zip lined (at this point) in my life so attaching myself and my children to … [Read more...]
Following the Reindeer Migration and Snowmobiling on the Mackenzie River
When we read about a reindeer migration in Arctic Canada, we knew we had to go to Inuvik. And we would follow them with the snowmobiles. The beginning of another Arctic adventure! How the Reindeer Came to Inuvik Back in the early 1900s, the Inuvik region faced a shortage of caribou, a major diet element for the local Inuvialuit population. The United States and Canadian governments launched the Alaskan Reindeer Experiment to bring … [Read more...]
