Tucson

Dani’s latest photo essay of the mighty saguaros in southern Arizona…

We’re back in Tucson for our third housesit here and have already had an interesting visitor in our front yard – a javelina, also known as skunk pig!

This week we leave Arizona and head over the border…to New Mexico! Our two week road trip starts tomorrow!

In my monthly round-ups, I am looking back at my travels over the past four weeks, what went well and what didn’t, and what’s next for me.

It’s my fourth time in Tucson and I am amazed about how much the downtown area has been changing since my first visit in 2010! My favorite discovery this year: some excellent new street art!

I’m back in Arizona and so far, my time here has been fantastic: canyon hikes, Saguaro National Park, a day trip to Tombstone and Bisbee, and my first ever county fair!

We have compiled a list of our favorite places in Tucson – what to see, where to eat, where to sleep and some ideas for trips out of town.

I’ve visited the Southwest five times over the past few years, but it took me until my 6th visit this year to finally visit a ranch, a real working dude …

When we visited the Saguaro National Park we came across these handsome horses that were taking their owners on a ride around this stunning scenery of Saguaros.

We celebrated our 800th day on the road yesterday! Today we’re sharing the tops and flops of the last 100 days, which we spent in India, Singapore, Malaysia, the U.S. and Mexico.
