I just came back from a solo roadtrip in South Afr I just came back from a solo roadtrip in South Africa. I drove along the coast and inland including a quick trip to Lesotho. 1400 miles in 12 days - the longest and furthest I've ever driven by myself. On the wrong side of the road too! Have to admit, I was quite happy to be rid of the car on the last day 😂 . It took me some time to warm up to this country, maybe I was going too fast (no doubt), maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind. By the time I felt like I was just getting into the swing of things... it was time to leave. . Conversations with people there gave me lots to ponder: about race and privilege among others. They also left me feeling very inspired to see more of this continent. #southafricatravel #soloroadtrip #exploremore #visitsouthafrica #globelletravels
Isn’t this unreal? The hike up Amphitheater in D Isn’t this unreal? The hike up Amphitheater in Drakensberg mountain ended up being firmly in my Top 10 Fave Hikes.

Jakarta has some of the grandest shopping malls an Jakarta has some of the grandest shopping malls and boy, do Jakartans love going to them - my family included. I’d say “more parks, less malls, please.” And no, a park inside a shopping mall doesn’t count. #jakarta_daily #jakartans #bogortraveller
There are many pink salt lakes around the world bu There are many pink salt lakes around the world but this if the first time I've gotten close and personal to one. Not sure if the color is due to salt loving algae or bacteria, but it sure is pretty. Have you ever seen a pink lake before? . . #iran🇮🇷 #irantourist #traveliran #pinklake #shiraz
So lucky to live in a country where our state park So lucky to live in a country where our state parks are just as gorgeous as our national parks, with a fraction of the crowd. . Latest on the blog is about this gem in southern Utah and our fave hike we did there. The best part? It's a great destination in winter for its mild weather. In fact the photo was taken in December. . What is your fave state park? . #visitutah #stgeorgeutah #utahisrad #desertvibes #igsouthwest

There's a reason why Persian architects and design There's a reason why Persian architects and designers was once world renowned. In Isfahan I was blown away by the impressive tile work on the walls and domes of the mosques built in 16th-17th century. Like many others I walked with mouth agape and eyes wide. It's humbling. #isfahan #iran🇮🇷 #irantourist
