My husband Rick and I live part of each year on the lower mainland of British Columbia. For the remainder we are off by air, road or water on journeys of discovery; these gifts of adventures are interspersed by the greatest gift of all - frequent visits to see our 5 sons, their partners, 7 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
On most of our travels the only “stars” we see are in the sky - not hotel ratings. We move from place to place within a country by local means. The difficulties or frustrations of this type of travel are superceded by the rewards of being involved in the daily lives of the peoples and cultures we visit. Respecting each culture’s codes of dress and behavior is an objective we sum up as “trekking the globe with gentle footsteps”. To have fun and follow the sun is our motto.
Although we have trekked through 49 countries in our lives, our writing about them is a more recent pursuit. We invite you to come with us on some of our past travels.
Irene & Rick Butler
