When it comes to being fashion conscious, I’m pretty much in a coma. When I need to buy new clothes, I go to Target, although I am slightly excited that H&M will be opening its first store in Colorado here in Denver on November 10th adding a cheap chic element to my uninspiring wardrobe. Given […]

Keeping It Clean and Somewhat Dangerous
January 10, 2009 – 12:29 pm
Traveling around the world gives you an unparalleled view into the daily lives of people in countless cultures around the globe. In many ways, people throughout the world do a lot of the same things, but the interesting part is how they go about accomplishing those things. Take for example the simple task of taking a shower.
Wow, I didn’t mean to make anyone upset:(

Often we get cheers from people about our courage to take on such a big project with such little resources. Many tell us that we are crazy, jaws often drop when Steve Bouey tells them that he cashed out his whole retirement fund to put into this dream. I have put a great deal of […]
New Photos – Istanbul
February 22, 2008 – 8:21 am
We made it through Asia! Istanbul is where east meets west, where the continents of Europe and Asia collide… or breakaway depending on your point of view I guess. We spent a handful of days in Istanbul checking out the sights and trying to get some work done on the trucks but sadly it was […]
New Photos – Fatsa

You never know who you are going to meet. We meet strange and interesting people almost every day. Fatsa, Turkey was no exception. We were filling up our tanks with $10 a gallon gasoline when a guy approached us asking about the cars and what they were doing so far from home. “Nino” ended up […]
New Photos – Sumela Monastery

Turkey is a Muslim country, but interestingly enough, just outside of Trabzon, you can find the remarkable Sumela Monastery. The structure, built literally into the side of a cliff was home to monks for several hundred years. It was later abandoned and left to the mercy of the public who as you can probably guess […]
New Photos – Hello Turkey
February 14, 2008 – 6:09 pm
After crossing the border between Georgia and Turkey (after taking some time to fill up on $4 a gallon gas as opposed to the $10 per gallon price tag throughout Turkey) we once again entered a new land. the ancient churches that were a staple of the Georgian countryside were replaced by the spires of […]

After driving through Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, we were confronted with a choice: try and drive through Turkmenistan and catch a ferry across the Caspian Sea to Baku, Azerbaijan or drive across the desert, back into Kazakhstan and catch a ferry across the Caspian Sea. After talking with some fellow travelers, overlanders and the guys from […]
New Photos – Moynaq
February 2, 2008 – 5:02 pm
Before we made it across the Qizilqum Desert and into Kazakhstan to catch the ferry across the Caspian Sea, we stopped by another great body of water… the Aral Sea. Unfortunately, the once thriving fishing village of Moynaq where we camped for the night is now nowhere near the shores of the Aral Sea. The […]
