“What A Load Of Rubbish,” says Explorason as we walk into a building and inside are piles and piles of RUBBISH. Immediately before us, there are barrels of BLUE plastic waste, collected from the local beaches. Recently we stayed at Turtle Bay Club in Kenya. Whilst we were there we noticed a board that listed […]
We left the Watamu area just a week prior to our stay at Turtle Bay Beach Club on the Kenya Coast of Africa. With a few days to spare before we flew to Lamu Island, we decided we’d like to experience a resort with a Kids Club that was also ‘All-Inclusive’, and of course it needed to be […]
What happens when tourism dies? When tragedy strikes and area? When the Media and Government websites hype it up? When unnecessary risks are publicised. When warnings go out and scare the public away? What happens? Obviously, the tourists stay away. Most heed these warnings (which are often blown way out of proportion) and don’t even […]
Employing Locals To Educate When Travelling Often when we travel to developing countries where the cost of living is lower, we find we can take more time, and travel at a slower pace.

If you are looking for an utterly fabulous place to take a relaxing break where you are pampered and treated like family, look no further. Kinondo Kwetu is a huge old African regal homestead on the south coast of Kenya, and it means ‘Home Away From Home’, and it is just that. We spent several days […]
Coming to Africa has been on our hearts for what seems to be forever. I knew a long time friend, who along with her husband ran a small ‘not for profit mission’ In The Field Ministries in Uganda. I had spoken to her on a few occasions about us coming to volunteer. So when our […]
This is our third Christmas away from our Australian family and friends, and we sure miss the traditions we remember back in Adelaide, South Australia. For us, Christmas always started in November. We put up the Christmas tree and decorated it very early. We owned about 50 Christmas movies and we would watch one every […]
Blarney Church Ireland, and a coming together of churches I had been in Ireland for over a week, and one of the reasons I have stayed around in the Cork area is because I was invited to share at an International Day of Prayer. This is to be held in the Blarney Church, but what […]
