“My own Truck” or “Overlanding the World”
The last two years have been an epic trip. I have been driving overland trucks from Cairo to Capetown and from Rio de Janeiro to Quito. Travelling in an overland truck makes the journey a different experience. Overlanding is all about places less travelled and getting out in the wilderness. The overland truck gives you [...]
Alaska is calling!
Overlanding is all about taking the road less traveled; leaving normal tourist places and activities, taking you out of your comfort zone. This is why I love driving a big truck around the world: Africa, South America and soon heading up to Alaska to spend the summer season there. In an overland vehicle you are [...]
The Great British Pastime – Camping
I have always loved camping, but rarely do I get the chance. In fact, I’ve never camped in the UK. Camping is one of the great British loves, which seems strange considering our more than unpredictable weather. Not exactly tons of sleeping-outside sunshine… But yet, here we are and a few weeks ago, my friends [...]
Escaping City Boundaries
Lying back in the sun, eyes closed with the breeze from the lake cooling me and listening to the band of crickets and cicadas, it’s hard to believe that I’m in the centre of Canada’s capital city. Living in Ottawa, we are spoilt for choice of where to escape the noises and heat of the [...]

Zion National Park
Zion National Park was only a few hours drive from our last camp at Cathedral Gorge State Park. We were concerned we wouldn’t find a camp site, even though it was Sunday. It’s summer, and all the reservation campgrounds were spoken for. It was early afternoon already, but luckily we drove right in to South [...]
Cathedral Gorge State Park, NV
July 31st In our travels of the west, we are seeing amazing works of art made possible by Mother Nature. From rock formations that are millions of years old to spectacular sunsets, it’s hard to not be filled with a spiritual feeling when witnessing these masterpieces. This feeling was most powerful for me at Cathedral [...]
Yosemite National Park, CA
Yosemite National Park, covering over 750,000 acres, was established in 1890. Here you can see topography that is millions of years old. What does that mean for the Go Girl traveler? Amazing landscapes, waterfalls, hikes, and photo opportunities. Just to remind you, we are traveling with dogs. Most national parks allow dogs, but you are [...]
