Blog: Drifting along the Gold Coast
(originally appeared on ContinentalDrifters.ca) Accra, Ghana. Well, here we are, alive and well (as if you expected it to be any different). We’ve been here in Accra for a couple days now, and we’re just starting to settle in; all the more reason for our restless feet to make our next set of plans. A […] more…
Blog: A change of Direction.
(Originally appeared on ContinentalDrifers.ca) Lome, Togo. Well, its been a while since anyone has had a chance to update, due to absolute laziness (we’re on vacation, its Africa, and internet is less abundant than in the Western World – enough excuses’?) but mainly due to the fact that we’ve been moving lots in the last […] more…
Blog: Vancouver to Bamako in 30 seconds
(Originally appeared on CntinentalDrifters.ca) Our website took a few days to get up and running, so i’ve had to start the blog mid trip. We just spent the last 4 nights in the Sahara Desert, completing our journey from Nouakchott, Mauritania – on the coast – inland to where we are now; Bamako, Mali. It’s […] more…

Blog: Route 40 / End of a 8700 km road trip
Ushuia had been our objective during our 2 weeks with the Suzuki Fun, and we accomplished this – with a only few problems along the way.

Blog: Fun times on the way to the end of the world
Two ‘Nucks, A S’afa and a Yank; Fun times on the way to the end of the world. Despite the impression I left on my last post, our time in Argentina wasnt solely spent on the paying end of drinks. Yes, it is true, we spent many of our nights until the wee hours of […] more…
Blog: Buenos Aires / The best 5 week party of all time
Looking back, I couldn’t imagine a better way to arrive in Buenos Aires. From Montevideo we caught a bus to Colonia de Sacramento, and directly boarded a ferry accross the Rio de la Plata, which seperates Uruguay and Argentina. The ferry was rather dull for the first little bit, but we managed to make friends […] more…
Blog: Oh, Argentina
Well there are several reasons for me still being in Argentina (7.5 weeks thus far) the majority of which involve Quilmes and Quilmes related activities. But it would be wrong to simply blame the beer. Argentina is simply an amazing place to be right now. Leaving Buenos Aires was hard enough as it was, but […] more…
