Hey guys, a pink goat! Sadly, after a couple of weeks here sights like this barely even register. This was probably the fifth pink goat we'd seen that morning so he was completely justified by looking at me like I'm pretty strange - or the paparazzi ... Read more >

I travel halfway around the world to get a shot of a lion and the one I get up-close and personal with has a comb over. Super. You ever have those moments in your life when you see something that your brain just refuses to process? Emily and I ... Read more >

After the 14-hour trip by car and 17-hour trip by train to Southern India, it was nice to join the industrialized world again, however briefly, and catch a plane north to the old city of Udaipur. This is the state of Rajasthan, home of the oldest ... Read more >

The coldest we’ve ever been. The highest we’ve ever been. The most exhausted we’ve ever been. The dirtiest we’ve ever been. The most exhilarated we’ve ever been. At 19,344 feet, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa and the largest ... Read more >

Welcome to Zanzibar, a place everyone’s heard of, several know where it’s located, and few know it’s details. I knew one out of those three. Let me say the name again: Zanzibar. The name alone sounds incredibly exotic and makes you want to say ... Read more >

I am about to die. Emily’s not going to make it either. What will I tell her parents? Oh yeah, I'll be dead. I knew we should’ve filled out that Notify In Case Of Emergency page in our passports. Who’s going to take care of the dog? And I forgot ... Read more >

The 300 pound Silverback looked over the rim of the creek bed, placed his hands under his chin, and just sat there. Our guide, carrying an AK-47, said “Don’t move.” I swear I've never been so still in my life. Rwanda is quite possibly the most ... Read more >

As we trudged into the stone walled, medieval-looking town of Chame on day four (or was it five?) of the trek, I asked our porter what the day would look like tomorrow. In pidgin, barely intelligible English the answer came in his honest, emotionally-... Read more >

As the boat pulled up to the cliff, someone asked Keith, the owner of the pearl farm, how old the skulls were. His response, “About three years”, was a real eye opener. He obviously felt our heightened tension because he quickly added, “but ... Read more >
