As I sit here the size of a mini-bus (35 weeks pregnant), feeling dreary from a head cold this image transports me. It was taken on the Maasai Mara ride in Kenya and in a couple of days I’ve got three clients who will start this adrenalin-packed ride. I’m not going to lie, I wish I was going with them.

This image was taken on our British Colombia ride in Canada of the head guide Josh. It took us a good four hours on horseback to reach this vista. We spent a lazy lunch soaked in sun, eating food out of saddle bags while the horses snoozed in the shade.

This image was captured by Astrid Harrisson on our Sierra Chica ride in Argentina.

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. photo caption: Here is a pic of our little globetrotter with her papa at our local agricultural show in Maleny. The show always falls at the end of May and it always rains so that fair-goers are never without a pair of gum boots […]

For many years now, years Buster and I have been GoPro-ing our Globetrotting adventures to add another dimension to our videography and we love it. When our clients are considering a riding adventure, video footage makes it a lot easier for them to get a feel for the landscape, pace and horses. GoPros offer an […]

My dreams have been peppered with jumping fallen logs in faraway lands at the moment. So when I stumbled across this quote on Pinterest, I couldn’t help myself! Buster took this photo when we were riding in Patagonia, Chile.

I’m the first to admit that I’m an awful spectator when it comes to watching a sport I love. At 27 weeks pregnant I’ve been pushed to the sideline for the current polo season. On Sunday I found myself in attendance at our home polo field on the banks of the mighty Mary River to […]

I whole heartedly believe in this quote. Travelling is the university of life.

Not to boast but I’ve ridden a lot of safari horses in my globetrotting career. Definition: A safari horse are the horses used on the horse riding holidays that I offer and are ridden by guests. I’ve ridden a range of breeds from South African Boerped’s, warmbloods, polo ponies, thoroughbreds, Mangalarga’s, Somalian bred and Mongol horses – […]

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. Every fourth Sunday of the month in Nambour, we have the Little Steam Trains that chug around a leafy bush track, under bridges and alongside a creek. This is the second time we’ve been and Finn loves it. This Sunday she got to […]

This image was captured on our honeymoon on the Namib desert ride, Namibia.

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. * So I’ve only missed some 12 weeks of this photo series. Will try and stay on track for my own sake as our little Finn is growing like a weed. photo caption: This little poppet celebrated her second birthday a week ago. This […]

There is something deeply romantic and enchanting about a rustic, shoe-box sized cabin hidden deep within the woods. A cabin tucked away from the outside world with no roads leading to its door but only well-worn forest paths. Cabins that are only discovered by whisperings of travellers that have been and gone. At the moment […]

This image was captured on the Namibian Desert Ride, Namibia.

I’m jumping on the bandwagon – only three weeks late of  –The 52 Project – introduced to me by one of my all-time favourite blogs – Practising Simplicity (previous Che & Fidel). I’m excited about undertaking this project, now that our Finn is nearly two, I can appreciate how fleeting and precious this time is. […]

This post follows on from my previous post, Japan in 7 days.  We spent less than 24 hours in Kyoto, which was far too brief. The ancient city cast her spell and I’ve made a pledge to return and explore her cobbled streets, wander through the temples that breathe colour into the monotonal city, dine […]

It’s hard to believe that this time last year we were in windswept Patagonia, Argentina with our globetrotter, Finn, who was seven months old. After returning home from a whirlwind seven-day trip to Japan I’m looking forward to a sultry, laid-back summer in Queensland. I’m looking forward to collecting the mangoes that drop abundantly from […]

We’re at the tail end of our 12 day trip to Canada where we road tested a seven day ride in the remote Canadian wilderness. Buster and I are currently sitting at a airport lounge in the shabby Los Angeles International Airport waiting for our direct flight home to Brisbane. I’ll divulge all and more […]
