Well, unfortunately we can’t (yet?) travel 365 days a year. That’s why we always make shorter trips like a long weekend to Portugal in the Duoro Valley or to Haarlem or a 3-week vacation trip to Sumatra, Indonesia.

Bolivia comes up with the next somewhat controversial item on the program. We drive our campervan Ben to Potosí, the historic silver capital of the world. We want to learn about the history of silver in connection with Potosí. Not only can we visit a museum, but we...
Next on our South America trip we visit a beautiful region with an extremely dense wildlife: The Pantanal in Brazil. The name sounds spectacular and exotic to us but translated from Portuguese it just means swamp or swamp region, derived from pântano. It is the...
