Dune 45 at sunrise

Such a lovely place in this world.
I Can't Complain, but Sometimes I Still Do

Overland travel, if nothing else, allows for hours of contemplative reflection. Which is good because as I make my way back to Windhoek from Swakopmund, all there is to do is don some earbuds and daydream out the dusty windows as the scorched Namibian landscape whizzes by. I’ve got no complaints. In the illustrious words of Joe Walsh, Life’s Been Good to Me so Far. Well okay, maybe one tiny ... read more

This Canadian girl's passion for travel comes from my adventurous parents. My brother and I spent most of our youth traveling all over North America in the family’s camper van, airplane, and boat - going as far west as the Hawaiian islands, as far north as Tuktoyaktuk, and as far south as Mexico doing lots of adventurous stuff...canoeing, surfing, fishing, camping, hiking, skiing, exploring, jellyfish poking...it was the best childhood ever!

Terrible fast travel in a fabulous place!
As a slow, independent traveler, I so agree with all written here of fast tours. I research places, so as to avoid tour guides with their often-opinionated, incorrect info.

Great journey and photos!
