About Us

In a culture where wealth abounds and happiness eludes, our goal is to show up for life; to, like Thoreau: “…learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” dscn0822.jpg p9180054_thumb31.jpg

We value adventure as a portal to self-discovery, and to the wonder of life. We seek to confront our fears and perceived limitations, to push back the curtain of uncertainty and marvel at the world we find.

Follow the links under Our Adventures, to journals of our journey through life.

Who we are: Claire and Robert Rogers (Bob), married 19 years, bookends to the baby boomer generation, we are dedicated to getting the most from this adventure of life. To that end, we seek our own fulfillment through adventure travel, creative pursuits, and living as simply as is reasonable.

Our web pages introduce several of our adventures: North America, Canada and Australia, 39,000 miles, carrying all the worldly possessions we would need for up to a year at a time, sleeping in a small tent, spending 24 hours a day together. We crewed on a sailboat in the South Pacific; four months of white-knuckle sailing and lazy days and nights with the mellow islanders of Melanesia, and most recently pedaling across the center of muddy, frozen and beautiful, Iceland.

These pages also highlight our professional pursuits: Claire’s magazine writing, Bob’s magazine writing and photography, an ebook of Bob’s first novel, with links to Amazon and Kindle versions.
