Our Travels, by Continent

Everything below is somewhere we have actually set foot, pulled from 30 years of our own stories and photos. We have left off the places we have only written about or still dream of, so what you see is the real map. And there is always more on the way.

Home base & a giant backyard

North America

USA
Home base in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, plus years of camping and workamping across the West.
Mexico
The place they keep coming back to. They lived in Puerto Vallarta and now spend about five months a year here.
Slow travel south of the border

Central America

Guatemala
Reached on the Pan-American drive. Time on Lake Atitlan learning permaculture and finding textiles in San Juan la Laguna.
Costa Rica
Months exploring the Orosi Valley, Manuel Antonio National Park and the Pacific coast.
Months of slow travel

Asia

Thailand
A favorite. Chiang Mai street life, Thai orchids, and the quiet side of Koh Samui.
Vietnam
A junk-boat night in Halong Bay out of Hanoi, after four months on the road.
Cambodia
Phnom Penh became home base for over a week. The ruins of Angkor and a long boat to Battambang.
Laos
Luang Prabang at the meeting of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, with its night market and dawn alms.
Indonesia
A month on Bali, lingering on the quiet north coast at Lovina after the post-bombing tourist slump.
Singapore
A 28-hour stopover that, unlike most, was worth every hour.
India
Rajasthan in four parts: camel carts, desert forts, and getting scammed on arrival in Delhi.
China
Three weeks in 2000, including the Yangtze and the Great Wall.
Three months overland, Nairobi to Cape Town

Africa & Middle East

Egypt
A whirlwind month: a Nile cruise, Luxor in the heat, Alexandria, and Cairo.
Kenya
The start of a three-month overland trip from Nairobi to Cape Town through seven countries.
Tanzania
The Ngorongoro Crater and its wildlife, and the winding lanes of Stone Town on Zanzibar.
Botswana
Camping in the Okavango Delta, one of the least populated countries on earth.
Namibia
The dunes at Sossusvlei in the Namib-Naukluft, and their 18th anniversary sunrise.
South Africa
Cape Town, the end of the long overland route down the continent.
Tours and trips across the continent

Europe

Spain
A 16-day meander through Barcelona, Seville and Granada on a Leisurely Spain tour.
Italy
Vernazza on the Cinque Terre, one of the places that felt like coming home.
Turkey
Istanbul, another of the cities that stayed with them.
The far side of the Pacific

Oceania

Australia
Six weeks driving the East Coast from Byron Bay to Cairns, finding their stride around Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays.
New Zealand
A month by campervan. Country number two on their round-the-world trip, and one of the best.
