Don’t Date a Girl Who Treks

October 9, 2016 by Marinel de Jesus3 Comments

She's the girl with the uneven tanned body Scorched skin from the rays of the sun from trekking the high passes. She's the girl with the high cut boots And a pair of trekking poles that she depends her life on She's the girl who catches the sunrise and sunset For either of them will suit her just fine. Don't date a girl who treks For this means you wake up at some ungodly hour and race your feet to the tops of the … [Read more...]

September 19, 2016 by Dave DronacharyaLeave a Comment

If you are thinking that the title of this article sounds a little familiar, you’re surely a marvel fan and will enjoy reading the rest of this blog.

How to Travel Without Selling EVERYTHING

September 15, 2016 by Kim Morris1 Comment

How to Travel Without Selling EVERYTHING

It's a common belief that in order to set off on a long-term travel adventure, you need to sell EVERYTHING. And why wouldn't you think that when the "About Us" section of a number of travel blogs mention they sold everything to travel the world. Of course, while that may be a great way to make your dream a reality, I'm here to tell you that this is not you can travel without selling EVERYTHING! "NO NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, SIMPLY … [Read more...]

Introverted Travelling

September 1, 2016 by Kaine HarrisLeave a Comment

As I was wading the fetid swamp of high school adolescence, I didn’t have many friends. I was teased and, not being a large boy, pushed around occasionally. I was also fairly bright, though not necessarily the brightest, and I found fart jokes or pinging bras by the high school boys to be crass and mundane. The jokes I found funny either soared over the low brows of my peers, or possibly were completely devoid of humour. I prefer to believe the … [Read more...]

How to Eat Healthy on a Road Trip

August 28, 2016 by Tonya DenmarkLeave a Comment

Eat Heathly on a Road Trip

"Summer time and the livin' is easy," or so the lyrics go. Summer time usually means road trips and eating healthy on the road isn't always easy. I've come up with a few ways we like to eat healthy on a road trip that also saves you time and money. Side note: Can I just tell you I love driving versus flying? I know you can bring your own food (within reason) to the airport. But I much prefer to have a cooler full of my own food or be able to … [Read more...]

Four Unusual Travel Destinations Adventurer Horace Ashton Loved

August 8, 2016 by Libby AtwaterLeave a Comment

Horace Dade Ashton began exploring the world as a teenage cabin boy in the late nineteenth century. His love of the sea and the open ocean led him to explore many parts of the world when travel was difficult. He wrote about his travels, and I’m delighted to present excerpts from them to fellow adventurers. by Libby J. Atwater, coauthor of The Spirit of Villarosa and author of a What Lies Within HAITI Intrigued by what anthropologist … [Read more...]

By Private Jet to Helsinki

July 22, 2016 by Tom KennedyLeave a Comment

An important lesson about travel insurance. For some of my overseas trips, I have taken out medevac insurance; if ever this coverage was necessary, it was during my recent trip to Uzbekistan. After waiting for the landing of Uzbekistan Airways A300 flight from Bangkok, the twin engine private Cessna Citation CJ2+ jet accelerated smartly down runway 8 Left of Tashkent Airport. After quickly becoming airborne, we made a sharp right turn, then … [Read more...]

Traveling Kids Grow up Too Fast

July 13, 2016 by Dean Williamson3 Comments

Traveling kids have a big advantage over their “stay at home” peers, in my opinion. The world is an amazing place but especially so for young children as everything they see is fresh and exciting, filled with wonder. Traveling with them adds a whole new level of joy and energy to any trip as you feed off their enthusiasm. As I have just discovered, it comes at a long term cost to parents, but more on that later. Little travelers have a … [Read more...]

Where to Travel First?

March 27, 2016 by Dave TomlinsonLeave a Comment

A Whole World to Travel – Where to go First? The answer to this question will often be dictated by your budget and where in the world you live. It also depends largely on your confidence. My first genuine travel experience was to the US which was an ideal introduction to becoming a backpacker. My destination was a summer camp where I would spend three months adjusting to the American culture and lifestyle. It was the perfect springboard for … [Read more...]
