In this article (and video interview) they share their top 5 travel adventures with me \u2013 and let me tell you, they’re doozies!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is The Planet D? <\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dave Bouskill and Debra Corbeil have a few past lives prior to their travel lifestyle and career; the last career they both had was in the film industry. For anybody who isn’t familiar with the inner workings of the film industry, it’s an entirely immersive lifestyle that tends to preclude anything outside of work for the time that you’re working on a set \u2013 and the seasons\/films often take many months to shoot. As such, if you’re into the whole scene, it’s a life unto itself. If you crave something else, it’s a prison sentence. And at some point for Dave and Deb, their career morphed from an enriching lifestyle to encroaching on their freedom and passion. And their passion \u2013 was to travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So travel they did. They quit their jobs, sold the lot, and embraced adventure. And boy oh boy \u2013 this couple doesn’t do anything in small measures. Their first travel adventure was the longest cycling race in the world, from the tip to toe of Africa…and they committed to it with zero distance cycling experience! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s through this travel adventure that I met Dave and Deb (online at first); I published a week-in-the-life of their experience of the Tour D’Afrique<\/a> on my site in 2009! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tour D’Afrique was only the beginning of what became a long string of travel adventures, including a fairly lengthy stint of full-time travel<\/a>.\u00a0
