As of mid july, 2026, we’re just south of Paris on our Dutch barge, moving slowly towards Paris, then on to eastern France for wintering, learning the ins and outs of living on the French rivers and canals.

Our new home will allow us to slow down, yet keep exploring new places, so we’ve renamed her “Change of Pace”.

Countries we visited in 2026:

  • USA (Southern California)
  • Argentina
  • Antarctica (okay, not a country, but pretty large)
  • Uruguay
  • Chile
  • New Zealand
  • Australia
  • Vanuatu
  • Fiji
  • Samoa
  • Canada (Vancouver Island, Calgary)
  • United Kingdom
  • France – Barge Life!
