What Happened to Walter the Adventure Mutt: Dealing with a Sick Dog on the Road

April 30, 2023

Since posting information about Walter on our blog and on social media, we’ve received lots of questions about him. So, we decided to put together a little Q&A post about Walter’s medical drama, to share answers to the questions you’ve asked, and to those you never asked, but that we want to tell you about 😉. Who doesn’t love a good Q&A? … More What Happened to Walter the Adventure Mutt: Dealing with a Sick Dog on the Road

Vanlife in Colorado: Crazy Mountain Weather & Gorgeous Scenery

July 22, 2019

In the last blog post, our little crew explored the Earthships of Taos, New Mexico and the Rio Grande Gorge.  After spending only a short couple of days in the area, we realized that we needed weeks, not days to explore this part of the state.  There was so much more we wanted to see … More Vanlife in Colorado: Crazy Mountain Weather & Gorgeous Scenery

Slow Sally Does Earthships: Vanlife in Taos, New Mexico

July 12, 2019

In our last blog post, we had begun exploring the Land of Enchantment with visits to the White Sands National Monument and the city of Santa Fe.  It was difficult to tear ourselves away from Santa Fe but a bucket list item was calling – the Earthships in Taos, New Mexico. I probably just lost … More Slow Sally Does Earthships: Vanlife in Taos, New Mexico

Sierra Gorda: Why You Should Visit the Fat Mountains – Vanlife Mexico

May 26, 2019

Translated directly to English, Sierra Gorda means ‘Fat Woman Mountain Range’.  To be fair, I believe the ‘woman’ part is really just the result of Spanish grammar… I suspect the intention of the name is more along the lines of ‘Fat/Large Mountain Range’.  Although the English version of this translation doesn’t result in the most … More Sierra Gorda: Why You Should Visit the Fat Mountains – Vanlife Mexico

April 18, 2019

Hi Guys! So as we mentioned in our last post about travelling with a dog, we finally – after 6 weeks – left Lake Atitlán!  We had originally planned to spend less time at the lake and travel further south, at least into El Salvador.  But we love Lake Atitlán and as a result it … More 5 Reasons to Visit the Guatemala Highlands: Acul & the Cuchumatanes Mountains

‘Schooled’ by Travel Part 1: El Potrero Chico, Queretaro, Peña de Bernal & Parque Nacional El Chico

February 18, 2019

Marc and I both agree that travel, and all of the experiences that stem from it, have pushed us further out of our comfort zone than just about any other experience in our lives (with the exception, perhaps, of Grade 1). When we’re at home and in our routines, it’s easy to get in a … More ‘Schooled’ by Travel Part 1: El Potrero Chico, Queretaro, Peña de Bernal & Parque Nacional El Chico

Off the Beaten Track: Hiking in Pueblos Mancomunados, Oaxaca Mexico

February 6, 2018

I read a blog post two years ago about the Pueblos Mancomunados – eight remote Zapotec villages north of Oaxaca City that are protected as part of an ecotourism project. For hundreds of years the villages have pooled profits from their natural resources and now they’ve also turned to ecotourism to boost their economies. After … More Off the Beaten Track: Hiking in Pueblos Mancomunados, Oaxaca Mexico

Dramas & Crossing the Border to Mexico: Galveston Texas & El Potrero Chico

January 24, 2018

After a few amazing days of free camping on the Bolivar Peninsula, we took a short ferry ride to Galveston, TX for a day of sightseeing. We were so pleasantly surprised by the character of the historic district and harbour. It was a part of Galveston that we hadn’t seen before and we had previously … More Dramas & Crossing the Border to Mexico: Galveston Texas & El Potrero Chico
