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

Spitzkoppe, Namibia

The tents are broken down Read Post

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

[Not So] Incredible India

January 7, 2013Filed in: Points of View by Tara Shubbuck

Road Sign in India

Before we got to India, our Indian friends and other avid travelers warned that the country is “overwhelming to the senses” and might wear us down. I didn’t quite understand what that meant. I was excited to explore India because it always seemed so exotic to me. But having done little travel outside of Western Read Post

Overlanding Africa: Thoughts in the Desert

November 14, 2012Filed in: Points of View by Tara Shubbuck
