We left the airport bright and early as no one really wants to camp at an airport (although the price couldn’t be beat – 25 Q) and headed towards Lake Atitlan. The drive was stunning! It had been a while since we were engulfed in natures beauty… JUST […]
We said our good byes to Crystal Auto Rental Belize with our heads held high – Jenna: It was a moment that held much disappointment as our lack of payment for services rendered was finally confirmed. Our everything was invested into that project – physical effort, finances, time and […]
We spent far too long in Belize, not only for our moral but for our pockets. Spending 5 solid months in a country allows you to see things that travelers would otherwise miss. The following is our raw account on Belize, the people we met (both amazing and not […]
Over the past 7 months we have lived in 50+ cities and experienced more than in Dubai, London and Australia over the course of 5 years. With each experience something new is gained and something new to be very thankful for. Jenna: Throughout this trip I’ve learnt to truly value […]
CAUTION: The following images are uncensored & raw. Doggy lovers beware. There are some things I struggle to understand. Things I’ve only witnessed in the 3rd world. Yesterday I struggled once again. All dogs on the farm were neutered by two American vets inside the vehicle workshop. It was a conveyor belt of fear. Whilst the men […]
The past 6 months have been such an adventure. The freedom to roam off the beaten track and explore such beauty cements our drive to press on down to South America. When we sit back and relive the moments captured, it is shocking how far we have traveled and even more how […]
The Jungle… The Farm… TWO MONTHS STRAIGHT – NO BREAKS! We were hungry for an adventure so off to Caye Caulker we go! JAY JUNIOR (aka JJ): You two have been talking about taking me away from all the dirt, heat and flies for weeks. Come on now, let’s go bitches!!! […]
This place is magical. It is the uncommercial tropics – wooden huts, vibrant colours, a turquoise ocean, palm trees galore and to top it off, the locals greet us with so much warmth. We’ve spent the past few days exploring the tiny island and winding down from our 2 month […]
2 months on a farm changes a person and we needed a break… and FAST! This picture depicts how we are feeling!!! Lets get pissed, let’s get naked and lets spend our chump change… We left Belize City yesterday and headed towards Caye Caulker (still don’t know how to pronounce […]
Yes it’s true! We are living on a farm, in the middle of the Belizean jungle and have been doing so for the past two months… Blimey! That’s not something many people get to say and certainly not something we ever imaged saying, but it is now true and a badge we […]
I have a passion for jewelry… It is a love affair – that will last forever. Jenna: In my living room in Dubai I had 4 prominent, all glass, display cabinets that showcased all pieces i’d made and collected over the years. It was magnificent! I spent […]
AMAZING AMERICA Jenna: I’ve never traveled the states in a vehicle. It was always from one airport to the next, to some plush hotel or home and what followed was the usual city experience. Not to say this sort of travel wasn’t amazing, but now that I’ve experienced real […]
We left Hopkins and headed towards Placencia… We did not know what was in store, standard, but were excited for the journey and having come from anti-dog-Hopkins, we needed to find a place that was more dog friendly. Who would not love this face? The road leading to Placencia is […]
We left Belize City and headed towards Belmopan bright and early. JJ is used to living on a farm with 30 other dogs and let’s just say that in his former life, sleep was secondary to his usual midday – midnight puppy fights. We were up and on […]
We are back in Belize and out of Jamaica! Sad to say goodbye to the loved ones but ecstatic to be out of the hard tropics. We both agree that Jamaica is on our $hit list and that’s the last time we visit this tiny Caribbean island. We […]
JAY JUNIOR (aka JJ): I’m two years old and live on a farm. Wow time flies – only feels like yesterday I was being turfed out of a packed warm jiggly sack with some other ugly-looking mutts and 6itchs – don’t know much about anything. Then these two come along and boom – life […]
It was beautiful that we all managed to meet from around the world on this tiny island in the Caribbean. We did however leave Belize with mixed feelings. Although we were beyond excited to see the family, returning to the hard tropics felt like a step backwards. We’d just […]
We drove another 10 hour journey from Merida (no time for that place) searching for the lost and tiny town called Palenque. Luke: Before I start talking about Palenque I want to finish up about Merida… We had to sleep at a cross roads next to a police repo compound which […]
We left Bacalar and headed towards Cancun Airport… We dropped off our beloved Sacha safe and sound headed on her own adventure and the road of mother hood. She will certainly rise to the challenge. We had our own adventure to embark on. Isle Mujeres. We knew nothing of this […]
Our plan wasn’t to leave Belize. We were meant to be fixing up a workers van for weeks in order to travel the Americas post Jamaica trip 2… However, as pure luck and joy would have it, we met Jay, the Crystal Auto team and acquired our perfect […]
Dear Dad, thank you! We were supposed to be in Jamaica, lazing about, precious time slipping by, all the while worried about where and how we would acquire our GG van to travel south. Dad saved the day, standard. Jenna: We arrived in Belize airport early without any […]
Having spent a week in the hard tropics, swatting shroogs away like mosquito’s… …dad flew into Mo Bay and his arrival was warmer than the sunshine. Luke: He strolled out the exit doors in typical Vic form – jeans, white t-shirt, black blazer, sunnies on, his beaming smile and pearly […]
You’ll always find good, like minded people where ever you go. But sometimes you have to scratch the surface a little harder… Oh Montego Bay… What an adventure. We left Houston beyond excited to begin our journey and landed eyes wide and bushy tailed. The moment we stepped foot […]
