It’s on the Meter
A 19 year old London black cab, 3 friends, the British Red Cross and the Guinness Book of World Records -what do they all have in common? Normally nothing. But, in this instance – everything. Three friends decided to drive a London black cab from – you guessed it, London to Sydney, Australia – raising money for the British Red Cross and breaking the Guinness Word Record for the longest taxi ride. They broke the record and haven’t even reached Sydney yet.

Girl, Guy, Globe
Life was nice and easy in the US for Rachael and Josh. Then, Josh’s employers gave him the opportunity to work abroad – in Dakar, Senegal to be exact. Rachael being a freelance writer/photographer made the decision to move that much easier.

I am always up for informative and entertaining information on travels that take you to different parts of the world. We live and work in a tourist area in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee and getting away from the hustle and bustle of too many tourists is a welcomed relief for us. Some place warm and quiet. Our preference is no kids even though we love kids we just find them too distracting on vacation.
