Seasick and Grumpy would like to extend a warm invitation to the screening of “The Ebbing of Time – 2021”, our most recent video diary from The Everglades and Key West on the New Year’s Eve.

Gliding Memories - 2020

While plans for a vacation can and will often change in the field, due to weather, or just the unexpected, there are some rare vacations when every detail flows according to the plan. Well, almost every detail…

On January 1, 2020, we embarked on a canoe trip to the Everglades National Park to retrace our first paddling journey in 2009. Ten years after that first journey, while some things seem the same, we were definitely not quite the same.

Thank you for taking the time to come along and enjoy our 103 minute long video diary. We tried to make room for each of you in our canoe… :)

Te Pito o Te Henua / The Navel of the World

“And now, for something completely different”...
...we should see if Seasick and Grumpy can tame a trip to keep in step with a 81 years old “recruit”. Or, if a 81 years old “recruit” can keep in step with a Seasick and Grumpy trip...
“Te Pito o Te Henua / The Navel of the World” is a 135 minutes video diary trip to Argentina and Chile at the end of 2018. From Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, from Cape Horn and the Magellan Strait to Easter Island and the Atacama Desert, the video will help you keep in step with this odd team...
It’s a circus all right. Enjoy!... :)
Seasick & Grumpy
Enjoy!.

"Echoes of a Kiss" - 2018

For best viewing quality, please press the "HD" letters on the bottom right and choose 1080p, or 720p.

While some plans work well to the smallest details and other plans are completely derailed by unforseen circumstances, adaptability and teamwork remain the only means to move forward.
We visited “Bluie East Two”, a former US Army base from World Wor II located in East Greenland, in 2014 and four years later, in 2018, we decided to retrace our steps and find the echoes of a kiss shared at the Blue Hut.
The endeavor reminded us how precious the time we spend together is and how important it is to embrace graciously whatever nature, or fate, throws at you.
We tried to balance the magical solitude of Greenland with a fast paced road trip through Iceland.
Thank you for taking the time to come along and share the glimpses of our 167 minute long video diary.

This might be the last episode of the "Travelotherapy" series. Thank you very much for staying with us all these years.

After the long paddling days in the cold rain of the Glacier Bay National Park, in Alaska, the “Two Nomads” (Doi Nomazi) gave in to the temptation of a lazy wake in the sunny Florida Keys.
M., one of the two nomads, learned to maneuver a power boat and became the fearless Captain M. Seasick… :)

Melting Whispers - 2015

"Melting Whispers - 2015" is a 163 minute long video diary filmed with consumer grade equipment during our paddling journey on the East Arm of Glacier Bay, Alaska.

Seduced by the powerful descriptions of John Muir and Rev. Samuel Hall Young, we tried to follow the echoes of their 1879 journey to Glacier Bay.

We never seek to establish any records, conquer peaks, or blaze new paths. We are just two, mostly sedentary, urban dwellers who enjoy the magic beauty and the untamed freedom offered by the wilderness.

We also love movies. We love watching movies and we have fun playing with cameras and editing.

This video diary takes you aboard the Easy Rider Beluga tandem kayak and allows you to experience some visual and emotional details of our journey. We hope that our video diary will inspire you to fall in love with nature and embrace your own outdoors adventure.

Enjoy!

Urban Pulse - 2014 (Winter Vignettes)

“Urban Pulse – 2014” is a 79 minute long video diary that brings you the winter vignettes from a relaxing trip to Key West, Florida.
After paddling the spectacular Everglades National Park five winters in a row and while we’ll never give up paddling and sailing our folding tandem kayak, aka the mighty U-Boat, we thought of indulging in the comfort of an outboard motor…
Hop along on a lazy trip and enjoy the various flavors of action, from motor boating in our new inflatable KaBoat, to snorkeling and sky diving. Ride a scooter and stroll with us on Duval Street and through the mysterious passages of Fort Jefferson on the Dry Tortugas.
OK, we spared you our bad singing this time. Well, kind of… :)
Special thanks, for his warm welcoming and hospitality, to Randy at Burdines Marina in Marathon, Florida.

Bluie East Two - 2014

"Bluie East Two - 2014" is a 151 minute long video diary filmed on our paddling journey on the magical east coast of Greenland.

Although you will continue to relax in the comfort of your favorite couch, this rather long video diary will bring you to each and every step of the endeavor, from the planning stage, to the post-scriptum. You'll be able to share the pain and the joy of the two nomads, their silly bad acting and the victories of solid team work.

This video diary is also a humble tribute to the Esprit de Corps, team work and, above all, to all the men and women in uniform. Are you ready?

Welcome aboard the "U-Boat", a Long Haul Mark II Commando tandem kayak! Please, sing along, because the two nomads sure need a lot of help singing... :)

Echoes of the Eskampaba - 2013

We are a regular couple with full time jobs that keep us far away from the water and the wilderness that we always long for. We have no special training, we are not athletes and we are not seeking any records. We just enjoy being together in nature... Welcome aboard the U-Boat, our Long Haul Mark II Commando folding kayak, for a 86 minute long paddling and sailing journey through the beautiful Everglades National Park. We'll put in Everglades City and take out in Flamingo. Grab the popcorn... :) ...

Enjoy!

Driving Botswana

Driving Botswana from TraveloTherapy on Vimeo.

This is the story of the 3,658 Km long journey from Windhoek, Namibia, to Chobe National Park, in Botswana, Victoria Falls, in Zimbabwe, Nxai Pan and Drotsky's Cave, in Botswana and back to Windhoek.

Although, the journey started on the wrong foot because of a transit visa and ended up being affected by Hurricane Irene, it provided beautiful moments in the wilderness of the Ngamiland-Kalahari, Moremi and Chobe.

There were also joyful moments while bunjee jumping (28:16) at Victoria Falls and whitewater rafting (33:19) on the mighty Zambezi.

A stop at the Boma, in Victoria Falls, and Joe's Beerhouse, in Windhoek, brought quite a bit of fun to the trip..:)

Enjoy!

perpetuum mobile, the video diary

perpetuum mobile, the video diary

feeling like a parcel...

We've done it both ways. We enjoyed the freedom of being independent of any pre-arranged booking, other than the flights, and we tried the ordeal of being treated like a parcel by an organized tour...

In spite of the convenience and arguably peace of mind offered by having all the details scheduled and confirmed, the true sense of freedom is replaced by a constricting feeling of regimentation. Time becomes money to be made by the tour operator and the staff, driver, guide, cook, porter, guard, dive master, etc. They all seem on the clock while I am trying desperately to feel liberated and out of time...
