How did it all start ?

We explored the Garden Route as a secret couple one weekend in 2003.
It seemed so easy to just keep driving north until the credit cards maxed out;
the perfect thing to do ...

We agreed in a Mexican volcanoe to go back to South Africa together and enjoy more trips, sleeping in the back of the bakkie.

It took us a while to get organised. We refurbished a house... and then a second one. Started a business. Working, saving, parties, holidays, family, mechanics, camping, weddings, gardens... until at last ... aaah!

"Un voyage se passe de motifs. Il ne tarde pas a prouver qu'il se suffit a lui-meme. On croit qu'on va faire un voyage, mais bientot c'est lui qui vous fait, ou vous defait." - Nicolas Bouvier (L' usage du monde)
