Who we are

We are Mike and Diana Goble. We have been roving around the world for the last seven years. The first four years, we were nomads, and for the last three years, we have had a home base in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We still travel about seven months of the year and write about our adventures and anything else that we think might interest our readers.
