The Beginning of the End
Blog: Where the road goes - 21 December 2009
I’ve been in Ethiopia for almost two weeks now. It’s been a delicious downtime from constant traveling up to this point – a chance to stop thinking about Cairo, about endings, about the fact that nothing lasts forever. But this morning it will be time to move on. To Metema at the edge of Ethiopia [...]

Blog: Where the road goes - 10 December 2009
Taken straight out of my journal notes. Disclaimer for poor grammar,etc It’s moving day again today. Somehow another three mosquitos managed to get into my mosquito net and haunt my dreams. I wonder sometimes if it’s not called a mosquito net because it attracts them. I’m not feeling entirely well this morning – almost fluey. Putting [...]

Inspiration Through the Eyes of Two Travelers
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 1 July 2009
Dave and I often discuss this idea. Who "up there" decides who will be born in luxury and who will be born in poverty. When we were in Cambodia, we had a hard time accepting ourselves and felt guilty for being who we are. The world is not a fair place and travel opens our eyes to it on a very real and deep level.

Favorite Food From Traveling the World, So Far
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 19 June 2009

And when we discover new and delicious food, well, we are in heaven.

Welcome to Sudan!
Blog: AdventureSkope - the ramblings of Scott Kennedy - 25 February 2009
What an adventure the last few days have been – like a lifetime of new experiences packed into just a few short days.

Genocide, civil war and poverty dominate the headlines whenever you hear anything about this place. Actually being here however is a totally different story. What I’ve found is not war, famine, unrest or anything of the like – Sudan for me is a breath of refreshing air.
