After spending a week in a rental camper in August 2020, Clara exclaimed “You know what we should do next summer!? We should go CRAZY FOR CAMPING”! We looked at one another, and then we looked at the kids, and in typical Suter fashion we said “… huh… maybe we should…”. The next several months …

Trip, Interrupted
So, remember that time I dusted off the blog, wrote three posts, then … nothing else … for a year? Right, well, uh, hi ?, how are you? How’s 2020? Though I haven’t been writing lately, I did sit down and compile our videos. Here is my best attempt at squeezing 7 wonderful months into …
How are we doing?
Yesterday I was chatting with some friends who asked me how we were doing. My answer to them ended up being a perfect jumping off point for a blog post. On balance, we are great! This is certainly not to say that everything is perfect and we don’t have any problems—we do! It’s really, really …
Is a picture really worth 1,000 words?
Ed: published June 2021, but drafted September 2019 Last week Clara had her first day of Kindergarten Around The World. If a picture is really worth 1,000 words this image I shared on Facebook would say “look at how interesting and adventurous my family is, dot dot dot”. But let’s be real for a second …
The more things change
Tap tap tap… is this thing on? Oh, hey there, it’s been a minute! Or, more accurately, 5,401,440 minutes. And what a 5.4 million minutes they’ve been. In the last 10.5 years we: moved to and worked in Toronto, got married, (I) started a photography business and another blog, left our jobs in Toronto, spent …
Suters in Asia
[I decided to add this video to the blog in 2022 (for posterity). I actually did create and publish this video in 2018!] When Will and Clara were 1 and 4 years old, we decided to take them on a three week trip to Shanghai, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Travelling with littles is never easy, …
Is this really the end?
Yes‚ we’re home. And that, ladies and gentlemen, was around the world in 365 days. We wandered around the desert metropolis of Dubai and played in what could be the world’s best water park; we saw the ancient ruins of Petra, spent a night in the desert, rode camels, shared a sheesha with a rescue …
A very expensive experience
Well, we’ve finally had the quintessential South American experience. We’ve been robbed. More accurately, we’ve been robbed twice. The first time was in the middle of the Amazon jungle. Foolishly thinking we were isolated from societal ills, we left one of our money belts buried deep in one of our bags in our room. After …
Thinking about Koala’s Backpackers? Think Again.
If you are thinking about taking a self drive 4×4 tour to Fraser Island and wondering who to go with, I would think twice about booking through Koala’s Backpackers in Hervey Bay. Our trip was fun – the 4×4 was sketchy but roomy, our fellow travellers were great company and for the most part the …
Yes, we are alive
Don’t worry, we haven’t succumb to infected scooter injuries. Internet has been hit or miss throughout Albania and Montenegro, however we’re back online in Croatia. We’ll have some awesome new blog posts soon. In the meantime, please enjoy the fresh photos in the Flickr stream on your right! Have you requested your hand-made postcard yet?
