Best Experiences

Best Experience So Far #1

Saraha Camel 3 days trek

Milestones_Best Experience (Amazon).jpg

Craziest Experience

Eight days deep in the Amazon jungle — no bathroom, no shower, no proper room, feet permanently damp from the mud. We got bitten by bullet ants, slept in the middle of nowhere surrounded by millions of animals and insects, and somehow, despite it all, felt completely at peace..

Most Unforgettable Wildlife Encounter (CATS).jpg

Most Unforgettable Wildlife Encounter #1

Istanbul’s feline population clearly runs the city, and our kids loved it!

Milestone_Wild Life Encounter.jpg

Most Unforgettable Wildlife Encounter #4

A surprise wildlife milestone: a whole sea‑lion colony right beside the highway. We stopped to admire them lounging in the sun — from a safe distance, of course, because the moms run a strict “no visitors” policy

Most Unforgettable Wildlife Encounter #7

Driving toward the Atacama, the roadside became a parade of South American fauna — vicuñas, alpacas, and llamas appearing by the hundreds. But the scene that stopped us in our tracks came just past Socaire: a herd of roughly 200 alpacas and llamas grazing across an open field blanketed in tiny yellow wildflowers.

Milestones_Stunning View (Amazon).jpg

Most Stunning View #10

The Amazon offered a different kind of stunning: a wall of giant trees rising into a canopy alive with sound — howler monkeys booming somewhere overhead, birds calling back and forth, insects humming nonstop. Not a still, quiet kind of beauty, but a living, breathing one — the jungle putting on a show in every direction at once.

Milestone_Most Stunning View (NZ).jpg

Most Stunning View #7

 New Zealand turned every stop into a “most stunning view” moment — mountains, lakes, valleys all competing to outshine each other. It made us slow down, breathe deeper, and fall in love with our planet all over again.

Most Unforgettable Wildlife Encounter #5

At the Cochahuasi Animal Sanctuary, condors soared close enough overhead that we felt their wildness firsthand — no glass, no distance, just these massive birds riding the air right above us.

Milestones_Most Trilling (RV).jpg

Most Thrilling Activity #1

Easily one of the most adrenaline‑filled experiences of our journey — driving our RV across five flooded bridges to reach Finch Hatton Gorge was next‑level thrilling.

Most Stunning View (Goreme National Park).jpg

Most Stunning View #2

Goreme National Park in Cappadociah was stunning!

Most Stunning View #8

The Atacama defies counting. From the rust-red canyons of Valle de Marte to the alien stillness of Piedras Rojas and the endless open sky above El Tatio, the landscape cycles through every colour in the rock rainbow — ochre, terracotta, violet, white, gold.

Act of Kindness (Morroco).jpg

Most Unexpected Act of Kindness

When our car broke down in the middle of the desert (Agdz) and a nice family help us repair our car... and invited us in their family house for a couscous.

Milesones_Best Experience (Great Barrier Reef).jpg

Best Experience So Far #3

A clear contender for “best day of the trip” — nothing compares to drifting through the living colors of the Great Barrier Reef.

Enjoing the Sahara Desert at a Camp fire with Berber drum and stories

Most Unforgettable Wildlife Encounter #3

Milestones_Wildlife (Amazon).jpg

Most Unforgettable Wildlife Encounter #6

The Amazon delivered wildlife on an entirely different scale: pink and gray dolphins, caimans, tarantulas, bullet ants, giant frogs and snails, sloths, countless monkeys, and more species of birds than we could ever count. A living, breathing ecosystem putting itself on display at every turn.

Milestones_Trilling (Chile).jpg

Most Thrilling Activity #2

Driving 4WD through the Atacama is not for the faint-hearted. Roads become suggestions, then disappear entirely — leaving nothing but open desert, loose gravel, and the quiet thrill of pushing further and further into the rocky wilderness with no signpost in sight.

Milestones_Stunning View (Colca Canyon).jpg

Most Stunning View #9

Colca Canyon, at sunrise — mist still clinging to slopes twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, condors gliding on the thermals below, and the whole valley catching fire in gold light as far as we could see. Epic barely covers it.
