The Quest for Adventure started in the Summer of 2008 as a place to plot a road trip from London to Melbourne. It has since evolved in name – Questing for Adventure – and scope. We now share stories and travel ideas that keep us dreaming about the road yet untraveled.

In between I come back home to the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico where we have our home in the woods at the end of a dirt road and at 7000 ft. altitude.
