A bike ride adventure across Great Britain

August 3, 2017 by Alistair McGuinness1 Comment

Twenty years after cycling the length of Great Britain with two friends, I received an offer to do it all over again. My initial thought was to say no, because I had since moved from England to Western Australia and it was a long way to travel for a bike ride. Also, our first attempt had been a foolhardy escapade, with little training or planning, resulting in a harsh lesson into the trials and tribulations of cycling on Britain’s main roads in … [Read more...]

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...]

Tori James, Adventurer and Speaker

August 6, 2016 by Dave1 Comment

I briefly met Tori earlier this year at a travel blogging conference (Traverse) 16 in Cardiff, Wales where she gave the opening welcome speech. Her adventures are nothing short of amazing, reaching the summit of Mt. Everest at age 25, participating in the first ever all-female team in a 360 mile race to the Magnetic North Pole (successfully reaching the pole), and significant cycling, kayaking and other outdoor adventure feats. She is an … [Read more...]

Wales is built for outdoor and adventure enthusiasts; the region has participated historically in adventure exploration involving some of the most extreme corners of the planet.

Ramona Bruland, Adventure, Lifestyle & Adventure TV Host

April 5, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

Discovering that she is originally from Adelaide and with a recent trip to South Australia including Adelaide, Kangaroo Island and Barossa Valley still fresh in the mind - this became a timely interview. Adrenaline and outdoor junkies take note - Ramona is just as comfortable carving tracks down the side of a mountain as she is jumping out of a plane or … [Read more...]

My Winter Wish List for the Holidays

November 12, 2013 by Dave8 Comments

As the weather cools, travel heats up this time of year- visits to friends and family during the holidays, local trips to experience outdoor activities or destination trips to warmer locales certainly sounds appealing - especially as I write this - huddled next to a space heater. The warmth of this heater is making me reflect upon warm weather destinations that I visited earlier this year; Bermuda (an easy flight from the East Coast), Sydney, … [Read more...]

A Quotable Vacation, Nepal

June 14, 2013 by Rachel McCaffreyLeave a Comment

Tihar, or Diwali, came and went last week and I went to Pokhara for a mini vacation. After a rainstorm, dinner at a Nepali family’s house, and an impromptu whiskey with an old friend passing through Kathmandu, Kendra and I headed out to Pokhara via microbus on Tuesday morning. A day of travel on each end, we spent three full days in the town and it was a relaxing respite. We didn’t realize we chose to travel on the biggest day of the Diwali … [Read more...]
