I have often described life as weird. I have weird friends. (Seriously – skydivers and B.A.S.E. jumpers. Enough said.) I have weird experiences. (Swimming in a lake full of jellyfish, running a marathon in Uganda!) I have weird jobs. (Hooters. Ha! Packing parachutes!) I have weird feelings and beliefs. (I think the pledge of allegiance is fuc*** creepy in a classroom with kids who have no clue what they are saying, and I can’t properly advise them because I think…
I left off when we were staying at an awesome little hotel in Dhermi on Friday evening. I need to write a little bit more about our stay because we really picked a good hotel! It was more of a boutique hotel/ bed and breakfast, as we were served breakfast the next morning. The Augustus Hotel is owned and run by a family of 4 and they went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. As we were…
We ended our time (for now) in Croatia at a little campground south of Dubrovnik. We were parked under kiwi trees and grape vines and the property was filled with orange trees, clementine trees, and lime trees. It was probably my favorite campground so far as it had a beautiful property, a beach across the street, free internet, hot showers, and places to plug in our devices. Those last ones are my 3 must-haves when we decide to splurge on…
I know I said it in a previous post, but we’re not that good at touring cities. One marvelous, ancient church or museum tends to look like the other 20 marvelous ancient churches and museums nearby. Yes, the architecture is fascinating – especially considering the times during which they were built. But all that aside, when we’re living in a van not making any money (purposely!), touring cities can be a bit intimidating cost wise. While on this adventure, we’ve…
As I write this we are currently at a restaurant in Bosnia! Country number 14 for Bella! This is our first restaurant meal in a couple of weeks, so it’s extra exciting. We came here for the wifi, but decided to eat while we drink and use free internet! 🙂 We both ended up with a seafood risotto.**I was going to add a bunch of pictures to this post, but it will have to wait as the internet here isn’t…
August August was a deadly month in the BASE jumping community. The deadliest in the history of BASE jumping – since the 1980’s. From beginners to the extremely experienced, there was a period in time where every other day we were hearing of someone else dying, sometimes 2 or 3 on the deadliest day. BASE jumping is dangerous and everybody has their own different personal reasons for jumping. I’ll write about my reasons another time and Dustin will write about…
Friday, July 29, 2016 We love Norway. We love Lysebotn, Norway, to be more specific. We’ve gone to Lysebotn 3 years in a row now, and this year we thought we’d be staying a lot longer than we did. Lysebotn is breathtakingly beautiful, especially when the weather cooperates! We decided to leave Lysebotn earlier than planned for a couple of reasons, but the main reason being weather, followed by we could! We are mobile! We were experiencing a lot of…
After being in Europe for 3 weeks, I am finally getting around to writing our first post! Yay me! I am new at this blogging and building a website thing so take it easy on me! I’ve decided to go this route because we have many friends and family who are not on other social media outlets and would still like to follow our adventure, or rather, our Unbounded Odyssey! I also thought I would set up our site as…
I hope you enjoy reading about our experience buying a van in Germany! Check back often as I will update this page as we make new improvements to our camper van! Van Shopping in Germany Before we arrived in Germany, we had been researching different vans. We were looking at so many sites and gawking over awesome van conversions. We had it in our minds we were going to end up with a Mercedes Sprinter or a Volkswagen high top…
