Where do you want to go?How much do you wanna risk?These are the lyrics of a Coldplay song called “Something Just Like This”. This song is smack dab in the middle of a playlist that I listen to almost every day. It's like the song was written with our family's current life situation in mind. Sometimes, out of the blue, there seems to be a blip in the matrix of life and the lead singers of my ...
Road Trip to Mexico, Central America, and South America: What to Take with You, What to Leave Behind
As an American, we’ve been socialized to believe that we need a lot more stuff than we really do (for travel and for life). It’s part of our culture to place faith in our things to get us through tough situations, but as a general rule, it’s best to travel light. The value of being mobile and carrying very little rates high for us when we’re traveling. It doesn’t matter whether or not you have a cool gadget ...
What were we DOING in this video? It's hard to tell...there was so little oxygen at this elevation (12,500 feet) in Puno, we all got pretty goofy. In fact, we were so loopy, Lydian almost fell out of this third story window into the parade when she leaned on a glass panel that fell open suddenly from the bed. In this video, you can hear how "high" we were from the lack of air.They sell bottles of oxygen ...
Some of the men working outdoors at the Maniti Camp Expeditions lodge found a snake in the grass. This particular snake was, according to our naturalist, one of the most deadly snakes in the Amazon rainforest so we kept our distance. The other two Americans at the lodge moved in for a closer look.Related Posts:Amazon Tourism: How deep is the water? (video)Amazon River Lodge Near Iquitos, Peru: ...

As John, Lydian, and Jennifer sat discussing their plans for the day, a tarantula crawls up on the inside of the screen of their room at the Maniti lodge in the Amazon Rainforest.

Jennifer keeps asking and Anselmo keeps telling her, but she just can't hear what he's saying. Maybe it's the early hour, or the overwhelming business of being in the Amazon Rainforest. Who knows?We stayed with Maniti Camp Expeditions while we were in Iquitos, Peru to see the Amazon Rainforest from 2 hours downriver. Maniti hired a naturalist, Anselmo, who transported us from Iquitos to the Maniti lodge ...

We traveled to Nazca, Peru in 2013. Our goal, of course, was to see the Nazca Lines, but we didn’t expect to like the little town in southern Peru as much as we did. When we first arrived, we didn’t know there were other cool things to see in the area besides the Nazca Lines, or that there would be cool people to meet. From beginning to end, the experience made us want to go back to Nazca someday. Perhaps ...
