Riding from Melbourne to Broken Hill
During April, I went on a journey that was not long in time nor distance but was monumental on the adventure scale.

Motorcycling from Melbourne to Lismore via Country Pubs
The Christmas period in Australia is the traditional road trip time. Straight after fat Christmas dinner, millions of Australians pack up their car, campervan, boat, and 400-litre Eskys and herd-off to a beach or river or forest somewhere to empty the Eskys and fill their bellies.

Mount Fitz Roy, Argentina, the final destination! [49/50]
After one year of traveling, it was good to arrive at Mount Fitz Roy, the final destination of this thirteen nation adventure. A year is a long time to travel and those that tell you that the years get shorter as you get older, possibly need to get out of the house more often (i.e.,…
