Welcome to our blog! All the Lind’s travel blog posts and stories are right here to entertain you and get you excited about life. Are you amazed that we’re still alive out here? There’s more to come.

The Lind’s Travel Adventures Around the World

Start by reading our classic Travelinds travel blog of world adventures. This time largely informed how we’ve chosen to do life together, taking us to some of the most spectacular sights, muddiest jungles, whitest beaches, and intentionally out-of-the-way places (we hate crowds!). Those memories will be with us for a lifetime!

While we’ve taken a little hiatus from the fast and furious travelling, we’re navigating another big adventure – some serious parenting – and there’s never a dull moment. How could there be with three little curious and energetic people we’ve apparently given all of our adventurous genes to? We went back home and sunk our savings into creating a home. Still, while the wandering and flight itinerary takes a break, the soul continues its quest! There are always beautiful spaces and faces to see wherever we happen to touch down.

Now, The Family of Five’s Adventures

We’ve come through global pandemics, wars, and the U.S. election calendar still kicking. Now, there’s also the newer Oribi Mom posts, which cover more recent family stories in the local paper. After the daring international stuff, we came back to see if we could put down some roots. So far, so good! For the last few years, we’ve made the farm home. We’re raising three little people and taking lots of photos. We’re also keeping a sharp lookout for Black Mambas, Narina Trogons, and Trumpet-mouthed Hunter Snails.

The Journey Begins

This is now the Lind’s favourite place to be as we travel the world. Of course, we weren’t always the “Travelinds” jetting off to the next adventure. The humble Travelinds blog started as a basic diary, giving us a platform to capture the strange and wonderful things we were seeing every day in a place we didn’t know. It was our first time leaving our home in South Africa, as we’d quit our jobs and signed up as English Teachers. From there, it snowballed quickly. Before long, we had hopped onto planes, walked foreign streets, and navigated subways for the first time. We also guessed at what menu items we pointed at would bring to the table, which could mean a delicious steak, a soup that burned off your taste buds, or pickled silkworm larvae.

Undoubtedly, it all started in Penang, Malaysia. Continue reading Travelinds – Travelling the world
