Introduction Amsterdam was not meant to change everything. For most business travellers and expats, it is just another European city on the itinerary—a convenient spot for meetings, conferences, or short-term projects. The plan is always simple: arrive, work, explore a little, and leave with some nice memories and a few photos. But Amsterdam has different ideas. Beneath the picture-perfect canals and tourist-friendly surface lies something more powerful: a place where temporary visitors accidentally discover what they’ve been missing. It’s not the museums or nightlife that hooks them—it’s the morning bike […]

Whether you’re backpacking through Patagonia, hiding from the rain in a Kyoto capsule hotel, or camping for days on end without any human contact — travel is amazing. Still, it can quickly spiral into a complete mess. That’s why you should plan every trip ahead: no spreadsheets or pages-long schedules, just a few smart habits that will save you from stress or overspending. Ditch the Checked Baggage It’s expensive, heavy, and a potential headache if it gets lost (which happens way too often). Here’s the challenge: you can take only […]

Sometimes I feel like a broken record talking about my recent backpacking trip in Central America and South America, because I’ve written so much about it on my own blog. But here I am on a brand new website, with a brand new audience, and I guess I’d better start from the beginning. I had this grand plan to spend a year backpacking from Mexico City to Santiago de Chile, completely by bus, boat, train, car; anything except from flying. This was for a few reasons. The first being that […]

I am Backpacking all 54 African countries using only Public transport and I am going only by road or sea Part One My name is Ilerioluwa Chukwuemeka Babalobi, a 31 year old Nigerian Adventurer, and sometime last year I made the decision to visit all 54 African countries without using a plane. When I looked up the process I was surprised to discover that I would be the first African to attempt such a feat, and nobody else had specifically made a trip around Africa. I proceeded to apply officially […]

Let’s be honest, unless you are in business class, long haul flights are not much fun. However, what if I told you that there is a way to make them enjoyable, and perhaps like us, one of the highlights of your trip? After spending three months backpacking around Australia, our inevitable return was imminent. A 27-hour flight awaited us, like the final boss in a video game. However, as always, we managed to do it in a way that was more than enjoyable. So, instead of getting on a plane […]

This is a story of how their relationship develops on the trail, challenges overcome, the friends they meet, including a possible romantic […]

Recently I was approached by Naked Nutrition to try another one of their products, the NAKED WHEY. This product is available in several flavors; I chose Lemonade (it is also available in flavors of fruit punch and grape). It comes in a 1.3 pound plastic container and contains 100% whey isolate powder. This product is lactose free, GMO free, gluten free and also soy free. There is no sugar added, however it tastes sweet from fermented cane sugar (Reb-M) the same molecular form that produces the sweet like sensation in […]

First of all, my backpacking, hostel staying, sleeping-on-trains and wild camping days have long been over. This nomadic travel-style, while fun when I was in my college years roaming around Europe and North Africa, has been replaced by something a little easier on my back and fancier in terms of luxury. Nowadays, I am partial to the kind of hotels that come with slippers, deep soaker-tubs, smart technology, and sparkling on arrival. So why would I go to an Ashram in Rishikesh, India, a monk-like eight hour a day yoga […]

I’ve traveled a lot around the United States, and I haven’t met a lot of people with Connecticut at the top of their must-see list. However, as a resident of Connecticut, and someone who has spent countless hours and hundreds of miles hiking, kayaking, and backpacking in more remote areas of the state, I truly believe Connecticut has a lot to offer anyone who loves the outdoors. Connecticut is a perfect location for day hiking because of its size and location near major metropolitan areas. The trails in Connecticut are […]

While traveling through a slum in India, Adam came across a beggar child and asked him a question he would ask a child in every country he visited – “If you could have anything in the world, what would you want most?” Despite the life challenges and suffering, the child responded to him without the slightest hesitation: “A pencil”. The encounter ignited a flame in Adam’s heart and propelled him to pursue a noble cause he never thought he would have – to build schools for underprivileged children around the […]

When I tell people I am going on a long solo trip, often eyebrows are raised followed by a barrage of questions such as: ‘are you out of your mind?’ – ‘what are you going to do being alone in a foreign country?’ – ‘won’t you feel lonely?’ – ‘are you sure it is going to be safe for you?’ and ‘isn’t it weird doing things alone all the time?” The questions persist and at times I feel like in a military video game on the defensive – holding a […]

Traveling fast enables us to cover as many places as possible. Traveling slow has its perks, too. Meet Ryan & Emily, also known as The Snail Travelers, a couple who have been backpacking around the world at a snail’s pace since 2018. In 2017, a sudden health scare hit them with a realization that our time on this earth is impermanent, and every breathing moment is precious.
