Update on the documentary – Kayak The Kwanza
https://kayakthekwanza.wordpress.com/2016/08/10/update-on-the-documentary
Record breaking source-to-mouth kayaking attempt on the Kwanza River, Angola. Update on the documentary. On Friday 5 August I took the train from London down to Southampton to meet up with an old friend, Carl Treeby. Who is an experienced film editor. Over the course of 48 hours he did an incredible job of putting together the first cut of our film, which came to 52 minutes run time. Problem: police confiscated cameras for 4 days. Solution? Cartoon to fill the gap! While we don’t have a definite re...

https://kayakthekwanza.wordpress.com/page/2
Record breaking source-to-mouth kayaking attempt on the Kwanza River, Angola. A month in the life of Kayak The Kwanza: what did we actually do? Since our return to Luanda I have been going through all the video footage from our trip and thought everyone might appreciate some screen captures showing what we got up to (and what will be in the documentary). I have tried to keep things in roughly chronological order. Sorry about the image quality! In total we kayaked 984.9km. Cooking up the route:. The first...

This Journey That's Called Life. Where two roads meet. Laquo; A year and a day. If you can’t find time to write …. On March 3, 2015. If you can’t find time to write … you let someone else write for you. Well, not really, but my godmother interviewed me for our parochial paper and because several people outside my parish would like to read the interview, I decided to post it here. I’m not going to translate it, but if you don’t understand Dutch, you could always try Google translate. Eigenlijk ben ik eerd...

We successfully finished…now what? – Kayak The Kwanza
https://kayakthekwanza.wordpress.com/2016/07/07/we-successfully-finished-now-what/comment-page-1
Record breaking source-to-mouth kayaking attempt on the Kwanza River, Angola. We successfully finished…now what? At around 1:30pm on Wednesday 6 July, Alfy and I arrived at the Kwanza Lodge. Which sits on the mouth of the River Kwanza. This marked the end of our 1,100km journey, and a great conclusion to a very stressful week! Looking back, I am still amazed that nobody was injured, especially later on when this wooden barrier collapsed under the weight of the water. And the Facebook page. Although the t...

South African Safari How-To: The Hybrid Self-Drive | The All-Purpose Pilgrim
https://allpurposepilgrim.wordpress.com/2016/05/12/south-african-safari-how-to-the-hybrid-self-drive
South African Safari How-To: The Hybrid Self-Drive. May 12, 2016. May 13, 2016. What comes to mind when you hear the words African safari? Do they conjure up images of private open vehicles, luxurious permanent tented camps, sumptuous feasts, and a price tag to match? If you’re a budget conscious traveler like me, you may find yourself wondering how to have a quality safari experience without breaking the bank. I faced this dilemma when organizing a trip to South Africa’s Kruger National Park. This can a...

Is Angola Worth the Trip? 3 Big Reasons to Say Yes. April 30, 2016. April 30, 2016. When people find out that I work in Angola, one of the first questions asked is often whether I’d recommend it as a tourist destination. For many, the lasting impression of this country left by the media is one of conflict. At peace since 2002, Angola continues to rebuild and has been safe to travel around for quite some time. Yet it remains relatively unknown to foreign visitors. Is it worth the trip? April 24, 2016.

A Coffee Sipping Catholic. Stream of consciousness, sporadic posts from a flawed woman who loves Jesus, the Virgin Mother, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and my family – all of this very closely followed by coffee and chocolate, my five dogs and two cats! Banishing the darkness…. Dream 1 →. A “hypothetical” question…. Let us say that a beloved child (Bug) has defected to a hostile country (Canada) and in the flurry of that defection left in her “trash pile” objects of value? August 16, 2015. Lazarus and...

Newer posts →. Being with others and feeling utterly lonely. October 18, 2015. I bought an eggplant. I researched how to cook it. It sucked up a ton of olive oil. Greasy and gooey (and not in a good way). I failed but will try again! October 11, 2015.

This Journey That's Called Life. Where two roads meet. Laquo; 7 Quick Takes on a Wednesday. Big news (and lots of small news too). On October 22, 2014. No time to write, but I do have time for a repost. I wrote this exactly a year ago. Life has changed so much since that day …. The topic in the ‘Not Alone Series’ this week is patience. I’ve written about patience before ( like here. Last week, I went to confession and the priest wrote down a prayer for me. It was a short prayer, maybe two sentences, ...
