One of the difficult things for me with keeping a blog about what I’m doing is that, for me, I’m just doing the next thing. There’s nothing particularly special about doing the next thing. No one writes (or reads) blogs about their commute to work, the drudgery of the day, the commute home, and […]

Road trips are in our blood. We spend a lot of our time traveling without a vehicle, relying on public transportation or our own two feet, but Australia is one […]

I wish I could bottle the sound of the Australian bush for you. Layers of throaty frog voices singing to the moon paint the darkness, replacing the chorus of birdsong […]
