A Year of Adventures
My Travel Mojo Is Playing Hide & Seek
Last night when I slowly carried my things to the second floor of the HI Calgary, it was really this morning. It was after midnight. I was tired. My flight from Toronto had been delayed at the gate for 30 minutes, which meant 30 minutes less sleeping time. I opened the door to room 210 [...]
The Quest for Travel Insurance & Health Information Before I Travel
I’ve been known to travel without insurance, unless I’m doing something where I need to bring proof that I have it. I know, it’s kind of foolish. I think it’s a combination of being cheap and cocky about the fact that nothing bad will happen -shit, I need to quickly find some wood to knock [...]
Why I’m Returning to Chiang Mai, In March!
Believe it or not, I’m not writing this in response to a post by another blogger about why they don’t like Chiang Mai. Nope. I’m writing this post because I barely booked a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. I haven’t booked my flight to Bangkok yet, but I’ve covered my trip from Bangkok to [...]
Dear Massimo, Sorry about the tablecloth…
My intentions were good. I heard about your restaurant from Tabatha, and to avoid places like Taco Bell and Boston Pizza, I decided to throw caution to the wind and treat myself to dinner at The Rainbow Room at the Crowne Plaza. My reservation was for 5:00 p.m., the first seating of the evening. It’s [...]
Snowshoeing at Thirty Bench Winery
**Author’s note: Last year I participated in my first snow sport, snowboarding. It was fun. It was also a little painful. I don’t normally do snow sports, however I feel that I need to try new things and expand my horizons. PLUS, my complete ineptitude could make a great story. At least that is what [...]
Mongol Rally
Tick Off the Turkish Sights on the Mongol Rally
All you lucky people speeding off on the Mongol Rally are probably so busy finding visas, sponsors and more people to brag to that you might have forgotten about the most fun part – planning some sightseeing! The drive through Turkey’s colourful, heritage-rich landscape will be a highlight of your journey, but there’s so [...]
London or Prague?
Photo Credit That seems to be the question we’re asking ourselves lately. Many of the ralliers will be starting in London at Goodwood. I hear it’s a party like no other, which is quite tempting. However, some ralliers will start two days later in Prague. The party is not as grand, but there is still [...]
Prepping for the Mongol Rally is Really Involved
I’ve prepped for trips before, but I’ve been very lax. I do basic things and leave a lot of things alone. I mean, how fun is travel when you plan every single detail before you leave?! What is the fun in that?! Yeah, Mongol Rally has kind of trashed those habits. Fast. We all know [...]
Press Releases, Sponsors, Web Design & More!
The past week has been mental! Christmas, Boxing Day, New Years Eve…Plus the in-between days when I was struggling to write articles that are due, work on Mongol Rally things, hang-out with family and celebrate with friends. I’m not complaining though, after weeks of family only time, I was more than happy to escape and spend a [...]
2012 Travel Tech Gear
2012 will be an epic year of travel for me (I’m sure you’re sick of me saying this by now). I have two rather large adventure trips planned (plus a few smaller trips). To say that I am excited would be an understatement (hmmm…I think I’ve said that before as well). After all, I’ll be [...]

Is This Really My Life?
“Is this really my life?” I asked myself. I signed on the do the Mongol Rally in December, and ever since then I have been busy. Very busy. Some days I become so consumed with what I need to do, that I forget to sit back and take a look at my life from a [...]
