About Us

Home away from HomeAs our friends know Mike and I have always loved traveling anywhere and everywhere. We have traveled by our various personal airplanes, by train, by car, by motorcycle, by boat and many weird and wonderful local modes of transportation. We have rented motorhomes and power catamarans and barges and houseboats around the world. We always tried to send home letters and photos about the superb places that we had seen and the people we had met. Friends and family seemed to enjoy being kept up-to-date and our distribution list kept growing. We took a 3 month leave of absence to travel across parts of Canada and the US. We wanted to see if we enjoyed travelling full time and whether or not we would kill each other. During this time we felt that we had to find a better way to update everyone. This was it!

After we survived the three months we retired as soon as possible. We travelled in Eastern Canada our first year while we sold our house and prepared to leave Canada for 9 or 10 months at a time. Our plan was to travel Europe in our RV for 3 years starting in 2017. Well that stretched for eight years until we brought our RV home later 2024.

In 2025 we started travelling in North America. Half way through the year we purchase a new Tiffin Phaeton 40IH motorhome. We went south into the US for the cold months and then came back to Canada for the summer and fall. It is now 2026 and we will be doing the same thing. South for warmer weather and then north as quick as we can.

After 10 years of writing these blogs and telling our friends about much lesser known areas of Europe I am giving my husband a chance to shine. I will still look after all the technical stuff and the look of the website but Mike will actually write the new articles starting 2026.

Enjoy the website and sharing in our adventures with us.
