New Wanderlust Experience

March 22, 2017

One of our wishlist experiences is to see lava in its purest form.

This is a wishlist experience we have traveled long and far to witness.

We have traveled to some of the most volcanic areas of the earth including Hawaii, Iceland and Central America and have never seen any. Hawaii’s big island had been witnessing a continuous eruption for months, we arrived exactly when it finished. Central America is littered with wild volcanos… but not a glimmer… Typical! … More New Wanderlust Experience

Dive right in!

January 30, 2017

My father wanted me to learn scuba diving with him when I was younger, however at the time I wasn’t interested. I never was a fan of the water during my youth, we were never sure if it was just an irrational fear or something else. What I have never been able to do is open my eyes underwater . I was a late bloomer regarding swimming, but am now perfectly happy in the water. … More Dive right in!

As many of my friends will attest to, and as previously blogged, I have a bit of an adventurous streak. It is this part of me that is accountable for that ‘taking a chance’ on extreme experiences especially sports. If the experience is unique or involves a bit of danger, I just cant help myself. This … More Real Extreme Sports – Part 2

I recently posted my first review on ‘A Wandering Memory’ instead of my traditional stories. So as I am in the mood for change, I have decided that I should now concentrate on a particular experience. As you know through some of my current blogs, I love a good adventure, and my taste in activities mirrors this. Yes I am very partial to an extreme sport, having dived, skied, snowboarded, skydived and even bungee jumped – so what next? … More Real Extreme Sports
