Janet and Stuart Wilson have traveled the globe together for more than 40 years. Collecting images, stories and memorable experiences on six continents, they have explored northern Italy in an RV, camped with lions and elephants on safari on Botswana, cruised the Burgundy Canal in a self-drive boat, and recently walked across England. They’ve cruised in the Atlantic, Pacific, Caribbean and Mediterranean.
