“Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.”
Ray Bradbury
I’ve been fortunate enough to have some really great adventures in my life. I love organizing and planning these trips and I take pride in making sure I cover every detail. It’s not unusual for me to start with what my friends and family consider a “crazy” idea and turn it into reality. Equestrian vacation at a castle in Ireland? Two week self drive safari in Namibia? Why not!
Here I will detail some of these journeys and how I made them a reality. I’m not rich by any means, nor am I an expert in African wilderness or Icelandic geography. I don’t know anyone in the hotel business or have a connection at a big airline. But all is possible!
