The Things You Carry, the Things You Leave Behind

July 7, 2019 by Tom Bentley7 Comments

When I was 16, I hitchhiked with my older brother from Los Angeles to Vancouver. Being lean and hungry types, we knew we needed fortification for the long journey. So it made perfect sense that we’d load our backpacks—already substantial, with their sturdy wood and metal frames—with canned foods of every type. Chili, fruit cocktail, soup. That one of the laden backpacks now weighed about as much as a sports car wasn’t that daunting until a day or … [Read more...]

This wonderful planet features a diversity of inspirational and beautiful places. Some travelers have been able to create careers out of exploring a range of often niche experiences or locations.

A Teacher’s Story: My Gaijin Experience In Japan

November 17, 2018 by Jimmy Shneller2 Comments

I’ve always had a curiosity about life outside of the United States. Geography was my favorite subject as a child. I first heard of Japan in the fourth grade when my teacher would go on xenophobic rants about how the Japanese were determined to take over the world and eventually own America. Due to circumstances, I would have to wait until my mid-twenties before going abroad. One day, my life took a drastic turn. My first serious relationship … [Read more...]

Lake Louise, Alberta – July 2018

Lake Louise is one of the planet's most inspirational natural destinations. The lake changes colors - dramatically so, depending on the time of day, how much light there is and or cloud cover. This glacially fed lake contains the most awe inspiring shades of aquamarines, blues and other colors. The jagged glacier and snow covered mountains are reflected in its waters on clear days. A trail leads around the side of the lake - walk as long or as … [Read more...]

August 13, 2017 by Leanne Parsons1 Comment

The plan was to use the Quick Shuttle bus, leaving from Vancouver at 5.30am and get to Seattle by 8:50am. Leaving so early though meant that we didn't come across any traffic, and no waiting at the border. We arrived in Seattle 20 minutes earlier than scheduled, … [Read more...]
