Jim & Claire are a retired, married couple, living in beautiful Squamish, BC, Canada. Our blog follows our adventures in various corners of the world. In our 40+ years together we’ve visited over 60 different countries on 5 continents and pedaled our touring bikes 22,000+ kms through 22 countries. We’ve also kayaked, canoed, hiked, skied or climbed on many multi-day trips in 8 different countries. What now seems like a lifetime ago, we also worked for 10 years in Relief and Development projects in 6 war torn countries in Africa and Central America. This rewarding but challenging work fostered our desire to see and explore different cultures, landscapes and environments. We’ve been blessed with good health, adventuresome spirits and an awesome partnership that allows us to weather the occasional hardships and challenges of our travels. Despite the inevitable decline that age brings, we’ve got more planned.

In our last post I touched on our misadventures in the Okavango Delta of Botswana and finished with our hitchhiking north to Zimbabwe. Our plan was to check out the world famous Victoria Falls then continue downriver (overland) to Kariba Dam where we would join… Continue reading Tales from Africa: Paddling the Zambezi and climbing Kilimanjaro
