With my last post being penguins, the next logical post is seals, with the Leopard seal being the main penguin predator. There are also tons of Crabeater seals, which, despite their name (from the German word "Krebs," meaning crustacean) eat krill, and are the most abundant seal species in the world. Of course, it's hard to see them in action, so all I got were shots of them relaxing. ... See MoreSee Less
Penguins are everywhere in Antarctica, and you can often smell the huge colonies way before you get close to them! Once they hit the water they're pretty agile creatures. Fun fact: a group of penguins in the water is called a "raft". ... See MoreSee Less
This humpback whale startled us as we were sitting in a zodiac, looking for whales, when it surfaced and spouted less than 3 meters (10 feet) from our boat! I managed to get the first shot when it was about 6 meters away as it slowly cruised off. It continued to feed on krill around us for about 10 minutes. ... See MoreSee Less
We usually have an overview of what our year will look like by early January, and posting it like this in the past has resulted in meeting up with other nomads or friends who are in the same area as us, so here it is for 2026. Send along a message if our paths will cross this year! ... See MoreSee Less

After 4 years of fast travel, we're ready for a new phase of nomadic life with simplified logistics, yet still allowing us to move along and discover new places to experience.
So what do you do when you’ve been fast-moving nomads for the last 4 years, sleeping in 256 different beds, and think you’re ready to slow things down, but are afraid you’ll be bored? You buy a 100-year-old barge! And how do you take the guesswork out of that kind of purchase? You buy one from fellow nomads, who also just happen to be family, knowing this old girl has been lovingly updated and meticulously maintained over the past three and a half years. We are thrilled to be taking ownership of “Change of Pace,” formerly known as “Flat Bottomed Girl”, from Laura & Boyd Godfrey, who are now in the market for a new set of challenges as they shop for a bigger boat. Change of Pace is 18.6m in length with a 3.55m beam, and we can’t wait to start exploring the inland waterways of Europe next year. Stay tuned! ... See MoreSee Less
The Smithsonian Museum has been a bucket list item for many years, so with our transatlantic cruise ending on the US East Coast, we took the opportunity to check it off the list.
The Accidental Love Hotel! Maybe that's what the title should be for this segment of our road trip through northern Japan. Japanese Love Hotels are focused on discreet liaisons, but they are also sometimes used by tourists like us due to the good rates. We didn't plan on staying in a Love Hotel, but when I sent the link to our traveling companions for them to book their room, I mentioned that I couldn't guarantee it WASN'T a Love Hotel (due to a vibe I got from the pictures), but we went ahead with it and had a unique experience. More details in the picture descriptions. ... See MoreSee Less

After a couple of quiet months visiting family and friends in Canada, plus renewing our passports so we can continue our wanderings, we're back out on the road, and I'm back to my favourite pastime of nighttime photography. Here's a few from last night at Sensō-ji temple in Tokyo. ... See MoreSee Less

We had never been to the Canadian Maritimes before last week on our cruise back to North America, and it's certainly a beautiful area of Canada. Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, is especially photogenic. ... See MoreSee Less
