Reconciling India

January 28, 2013Filed in: Destinations by Mike Shubbuck

Backwaters of Alleppey, India

This article is not going to be about our experiences in Northern India. Tara already took on the topic here. Instead, in an effort to showcase the good of this country, let us look south to the Kerala region. Currently, I sit on the porch of a homestay in Alleppey, a small town in the Read Post

Postcard from India

January 24, 2013Filed in: Destinations, Photos & Video by Tara & Mike

Udaipur, India

Namaste from India! We’re happy to report that south India is waaaayyyy different from the north. Remember that post Tara wrote about culture shock? Well, we think it would have been a different post if we had traveled around the south first. It very well could be our own personal experience, but we think the Read Post

Africa on My Mind

January 20, 2013Filed in: Points of View by Tara Shubbuck

Walking in Chitimba, Malawi

I never finished telling you how much I loved Africa, specifically our overland from South Africa to Tanzania. We traveled 7,697 beautiful kilometers, literally. Every stretch of road was flanked by landscape so breathtaking that I felt like I was missing something whenever I looked away to read. I spent hours staring out the “Impala Read Post

Glimpses of an African Overland

January 16, 2013Filed in: Points of View by Mike Shubbuck

Spitzkoppe, Namibia

Dawn has yet to extend her rosy fingers over the African continent when the sounds of alarms pierce the quiet air. Like a symphony beginning slowly, there are low groans, the crackle of plastic and rustling of canvas, finally a crescendo of zippers opening in unison. Nomads of the night. The tents are broken down Read Post

Surprising Use For Kettle Water

January 11, 2013Filed in: Points of View by Tara & Mike

Sink Bath in Shimla, India

Desperate times call for creative solutions. Mike and Tara spent a couple days freezing their butts off (quite literally) in Shimla, India, surrounded by the Himalayas. With no hot water and a desire to shower, Tara received her inspiration for sink bath from months of hand washing clothes in the sink. Below is how you Read Post
