Golden Gate Bridge

Golden Gate Bridge

Bond Locations We’ve Been To

Bond Locations We’ve Been To

Bond… James Bond While we were back in Canada last week, we happened to be home for the debut of Skyfall, the latest James Bond movie with Daniel Craig. We both agree, he’s the best James Bond ever and while I was watching the movie, I started to think about all the cool Bond Locations [...]

Columbus Ohio, One Bite at a Time

Columbus Ohio, One Bite at a Time

Zion National Park in Photos

If there is one place that we would have liked to stay longer during our Intrepid Travel Adventure through America, it is Zion National Park. After two days in Vegas (That sounds like a movie title) we arrived to a peaceful and incredibly beautiful park, but didn’t have the opportunity to truly explore the place. We [...]

Yosemite Valley an Ansel Adams Tribute

Antelope Canyon – A Photo Essay

These photos of Antelope Canyon are going to blow your mind. Seriously! Not that I am bias or anything.

Five Weeks, Four Countries and a Mic

Five Weeks, Four Countries and a Mic

I mean, we’ve already been on five different continents this year alone! But when I see what we are up to [...]

The Columbus Ohio Experience

The Columbus Ohio Experience

When I told friends that I was travelling to Columbus, Ohio, they looked at me puzzled and said, “That’s not the first place I would choose to vacation to.” At the time, I had to agree with them.

Food Heaven in Columbus Ohio

Food Heaven in Columbus Ohio

Lake Havasu and the London Bridge

Lake Havasu and the London Bridge

When we saw that the London Bridge on Lake Havasu was just a short detour off of our route during our USA road trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles, we had to make the stop. The 1831 London Bridge was brought over piece by piece to Arizona in 1968. The Lake Havasu, London Bridge [...]

Vegas Vs the World a Photo Comparison

Vegas Vs the World a Photo Comparison

When we saw that Vegas was a part of our Road trip itinerary, we weren’t exactly jumping for joy. So we were surprised to feel the excitement build as we approached Sin City from Death Valley. We didn’t go crazy like the guys from the Hangover and we didn’t party like it was 1999. But [...]

The Grand Sequoia Tree of Yosemite

The Grand Sequoia Tree of Yosemite

We’ve all seen the famous photos of the drive-through tree in California. When we were younger we marvelled at the fact that a car could actually drive through the centre of a giant sequoia tree. Unfortunately the famous drive-through tree toppled over decades ago due to the fact that man cut a hole in it, [...]

Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco
