Inspirational Travel – Roundtrip Ticket, My Backpack and Curiosity
I have always loved to travel but I have never had the opportunity to travel and explore the way I wanted to. It’s not until we throw ourselves into the unknown that we know who we are.
A Trip Down Memory Lane of New Year’s Past
Wow, can you believe it’s nearly 2012? This has been a short Christmas season, it seems shorter than usual with Christmas and New Years falling on a Sunday. It seems like the holidays just got started and they are already coming to and end
Three Countries We Can’t Get Enough Of
There aren’t a lot of countries that we go back to again and again. Actually we realized that we have only re-visited 3 countries again and again. Mexico, Thailand and France keep calling us back.

Here in a small fishing village on the coast of Brazil, nobody spoke English. I came here on a volunteer vacation. This was my first visit to a location where neither was English prevalent nor did I know the language.
A Visual Delight in Chiapas, Mexico
Last week we had the chance to visit the Adventure Travel World Summit in the city of San Cristobal in Chiapas Mexico. They couldn’t have picked a better location.

Offbeat Activities at Rancho La Puerta
Think Rancho La Puerta is like every other spa you’ve been to?Think again. Why not try these alternative activities that will keep your week interesting.
A Destination Spa Made for a Man
Dave wasn’t quite sure if he was going to enjoy a week at Rancho la Puerta. This spa was voted best Destination spa on earth by Travel and Leisure, but don’t only women go on these types of retreats?
Rancho La Puerta, A Fitness Resort Like No Other
Rancho La Puerta is like nothing we have ever experienced. I didn’t even know that places like this existed. A fitness spa retreat set in the sacred mountains of northern Mexico where every single hour of the day offers an array of activities.
Taking Time to Reflect
We are currently strengthening our bodies, empowering our minds and finding health and balance in our lives at Rancho la Puerta in Baja California, Mexico. To really delve into the process we are leaving our computers in their cases
India and Mexico, More Similar Than You’d Think
The more I traveled Mexico, the more familiar the place felt. Familiar to India, that is. What could possibly be similar between Mexico and India – countries separated by oceans?

The Window to the Soul; A Photostory
Travel photography has many aspects. When Deb and I travel most places are defined in some way or another by the people. Faces always have intrigued me because, as Shakespeare put it, “The eyes are the window to the soul”.
Nicaragua A First Time Volunteer Experience
A small town Canadian girl (yes I call myself a girl even at 46) gets a chance to go to a Central American country to build a school not once but twice! How sweet was that. It was even better this second time as I brought my 16 year old son Joey. We were joined by 10 other people making up our team of twelve.
Giving Back: ARCAS, Guatemala – A One in an Only!
Every move we make in our lives is based on a decision. That decision can be of minor importance, or like in my case the one that changes the path of my life forever. When I hopped on a bus to take me from Belize to Tikal, Guatemala I had no idea what was awaiting me!
Mexico, A Divers Journey Through Central America, Continued
Mexico has been getting a lot of bad press here in Canada lately. Crime, violence, fear. It is all over the news. But we found it to be very safe and friendly.
Scuba Diving the Bay Islands: Utila, Honduras
Utila is known on the backpacker circuit as a cheap place to get your divers certification, people come to Utila for one thing and one thing only. To Dive. Dave and I were no exception. We had been diving for a year in Canada. And were already certified rescue divers. We had logged our hours and were ready to finish our Dive Masters in the warm clear waters of Honduras.
Boats and Buses From Belize to Honduras, What a Trip
We booked a boat in Belize City to Puerto Cortes, Honduras. We made it in one piece just barely, and we had a lot of time to get over our nausea. Finally the border patrol arrived. One man and one man only processed 50 people. It was getting late in the day and we didn’t have much time to make our way across the island to catch our ferry to Utilla.
