Where the Earth is Still Being Born – Exploring the Hawaii Big Island by Car

October 7, 2025 29 minutes of reading

For many, the islands of Hawaii are synonymous with a paradise getaway destination. An escapist dream, separated from the rest of the world. Hawai'i - the Big Island, which gives the name to the entire archipelago, is more rugged and primordial, less developed and more laid back (if that is even possible). Here, Pele, the goddess of fire, lightning, and wind, escaped the rage of her sister Nāmaka, goddess of the seas, looking for refuge on the tall mountain of Mauna Loa. The everlasting conflict between the two siblings lasts to this day and lava flows from the Kilauea

Road Trip Paradise – New Zealand North and South Island in Nature’s Private Playground

August 14, 2025 29 minutes of reading

Many countries are blessed with thriving and unspoilt nature, but the Land of Kiwis has something uniquely special which stirs the soul and ignites the spirit of adventure in all who set foot on its shores. Exploring New Zealand by road may be one of the best trips ever, revealing why it truly feels like "Middle-earth" from The Lord of the Rings: a landscape from another age. Perhaps even a land taken from fantasy. Tucked away in the South Pacific Ocean (and often overlooked on world maps) New Zealand is the quintessential remote escape. Sparsely populated, and as remote

Greece Road Trip – Peloponnese & Mainland – Athens to Thessaloniki

August 12, 2025 34 minutes of reading

The temples of the gods in Athens, Sounion, and Olympia. The ancient cities of Mycenae and Delphi. The Kyanos blue waters on the island of Zakynthos. The otherworldly monoliths and monasteries in Meteora. The foothills of Mount Olympus at Litochoro, and the coastal towns of Nafplion, Galaxidi, and Thessaloniki. Nothing can quite stand up to the overload of beauty of driving among thousands of olive trees, deafened by the chorus of cicadas, caressed by the sea breeze, and stopping on the rugged coast to look at a Greek sunset. I have visited Greece many times since I was a child, and

Yucatan & Beyond: Ultimate 30-Day Road Trip Through Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize in the Heart of the Maya

August 7, 2025 43 minutes of reading

This is my personal favourite road trip. An unforgettable journey of Central America exploring the serene beauty of the Yucatan Peninsula, through Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. This is a "Mayan ruins expedition" where ancient cities and majestic temples stand within remote jungles. Outside, colorful pueblos await with their iconic charm. When the heat becomes too much to handle, refreshing cenotes and the beautiful Riviera Maya offer a well deserved rest and relax. It doesn't get any better than this. With scenery that ranges from lush jungles with ancient Mayan ruins poking from the tree canopy to pristine beaches and
