The all American road leading through the Florida Keys looks spectacular from the sky. I’ve only googled that mind you but as soon as I saw the photos of the road I declared that we had to drive the legendary route. It actually wasn’t as spectacular to drive as we’d hoped. The bridges were extremely…

Snorkelling, feeding tarpon and vanlife in the Upper Keys
The Florida Keys marked the end of the road for us on this 14,000 mile roadtrip. The Keys are a string of little islands connected by bridges that head south west towards Cuba. It looked like an incredible drive and we were excited to see it for ourselves. The first island we reached was Key…
A walk on the wild side | Florida
After having dinner in a parking area we had two cop cars pull up behind us shining their full beams at us like laser beams and burning our retinas. We hadn’t done anything wrong so we just sat there and continued to eat our candy. They called out on their microphone stating that they were…
A taste of Florida’s wildlife, beaches and shelling
We had a bit of a crazy morning after finding out an interview we did had been published as headline news on The Mail Online. Headline news?! It didn’t take long for other news sites to get hold of the story and we were soon featured in articles around the world. My sister kept me…
Sunsets, dolphins and beach life | Florida
We hadn’t seen the sea since Alaska so we were keen to hit the coast and watch the sun go down. It proved to be rather difficult to find a place to watch the sunset though as every road we took was lined with private property and fancy houses…bit mean calling a road Sunset Boulevard…
Exploring the Appalachian Mountains
After the long drive east it was finally time to head south towards Florida – the scenic route of course. So we started the journey in Shenandoah National Park where the Skyline Parkway begins. It’s an extremely scenic road that winds its way along a ridgline in the Appalachian mountains. Instead of normal pointy mountains…
The road less travelled | Montana to Idaho
I browsed over our USA map searching for a scenic route from Flathead Lake, Montana to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Their not far from one another but I couldn’t help but spot a green blob on the map called ‘Sawtooth Wilderness’ way south in Idaho. I was envisioning mountain peaks with edges spiky like…
Learning to lasso in Canada’s cowboy country
We rumbled over cattle grids as we passed through the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and soon realised our chances of seeing more Bears had drastically diminished. We did think we saw a bear but quickly realised it was a cow and they were free roaming. It was true cowboy country where locals ride horses…
First day in the Rockies and our jaws have dropped
I don’t know if it was the blue skies or just the pure happiness of being back in the mountains but we had quite the spring in our step as we climbed 2200ft up the Sulphur Skyline. It was our first hike in Jasper National Park and we’d woken up at 7am which was a…
Rocky Mountain views from the peaceful park border
It wasn’t exactly a riveting drive south from Grand Prairie and truckers were constantly intimidating us in our wing mirrors. Things picked up though the further south we went. One lovely day was spent at the Sulphur Gates area of Willmore Wilderness Park, a true wilderness area that borders Jasper National Park but has hardly…
