About Us
Hi, we're Tim and Karina from Australia via the UK, US, Greece, and now Belgium. We're busy renovating our historic barge Delfine, constructed in 1907, to run cruises of the medieval cities in Belgium. You can read more about the remodel of Delfine here, or if you want to learn about the cruises, check out delfinebarge.com.
We have two adult children living in Edinburgh and Tokyo. We love travel, adventure, good food, good company and lots of boutique coffee (if you enjoy the blog, feel free to shout us a coffee to say thanks!)
For four years, we lived aboard our trawler Matilda in Greece. Now sold, Tim has written a book, "Footloose: Or How to Run Away to Sea" about our journey and adventures in the first few years there. You can find out more about it here.
Follow us @delfinebarge on Instagram, or message Tim on Facebook to say hi!
History of the blog
Why Insatiably Curious? Besides an excellent state to be in, this blog is a more formal expression of the inner five-year-old who always wants to ask, 'but why?'
It's been run in various forms over the last 25+ years, but this current iteration is a record of our journeys since we moved to Greece, first aboard Matilda and now on the inland waterways of Europe with Delfine.
But what about that article on "x" that led me here?
Tim has always blogged about significant life events to capture his thoughts and memories and share his perspectives with family and friends.
While Karina was giving birth to our daughter, he was busy attempting to get the modem to work in the hospital delivery room to update the hand-coded HTML website to announce her arrival. That effort was quickly abandoned to focus on more important things!
Over the years, this blogging activity has had various names, been written on different platforms, and focused on a variety of themes. The very earliest effort of tracking Karina's pregnancy has gone lost in the annals of history, but content from many other efforts has survived and been spread liberally across the internet. What's never changed has been a sense of curiosity about the world around us and the experiences we've been going through.
