Travel reports from places near and far...

Travelers often follow a common trajectory, beginning close to home, then venturing farther and farther afield in search of more interesting and novel experiences and environments. We have certainly followed that path, first seeing a good bit of the USA, then Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and parts of South America, Africa, and Asia roughly in that order. In the past several years, South America has become our most frequent destination.  Our travels have increasingly focused on two goals: (1) encountering native peoples and cultures and/or (2) visiting sites of archeological or geological interest (e.g., jungles, waterfalls, and glaciers).

We are a couple who love to travel as much as possible around our work schedules.  While for the most part we are independent budget travelers, we have traveled a few times on tours, when it was either more practical or safer (Papua New Guinea), more economical (East Africa safaris), or when we thought we would gain a fuller appreciation of the country and its peoples (Bolivia). We do these trip write-ups mainly for ourselves--it really enhances memories of a trip--and we are happy to share them with anyone who is interested.

We are Judi and Larry Fenson. Judi is a researcher at SDSU and UCSD working on grants on language and cognitive development. Larry is a professor at SDSU, teaching and conducting research in child development. Our son, Brett Fenson, is our webmaster. Travel is our passion.
