Introduction:
Both Carla and Paul have treasured travel over the years but since 2016, they have continually taken their adventures to the next level. Their latest adventure, an "Ultimate World Cruise" took them to all seven continents, 60+ countries and hundreds of ports. From December 2023 to September 2024 they traveled the equivalent of more than three times around the world by ship.
Between April and September 2023, in preparation for their World voyage, they cruised twice across the Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea and then by train and rental car, in Europe, Ireland and Great Britain. They became quite adept at lightweight travel.
Paul's photographs have been featured in "Barrie Today", SPCA Calendars, Georgian Bay Land Trust Posters and have received over 5.6 million views on Google Maps.
Both Carla and Paul's technical skills have helped them deal with communication and other technical issues during world travel.
Not only will there be pictures and stories shared, but also tips on world travel.
