Sunset from a Sea Kayak, Thailand
Exploring the Hongs of thailand is an amazing experience. Especially when it is done from the seat of a kayak. Going with the ebb and flow of the tide allows you access to secret caves that are seldom explored.
Five Unique Things to do in Thailand
Since it is cold outside in many parts of the world we thought we’d give you a little escape from winter and share our favourite things to do in Thailand.
Seven Super Travel Photos
Hostel Bookers is running a game of photo tag and were kind enough to include us in their inaugural post. I love going back through photographs that I haven’t looked at recently. Each one tells a story and reminds me of a precious moment in time.
Travel Inspiration – Cycling through the Countryside in Vang Vieng, Laos
Vang Vieng in Laos is one of those places that you hear mixed reviews about. Some people have the time of their lives while others can’t wait to get out of there. The general apprehension is that if you’re a twenty year old backpacker wanting to get drunk and go tubing down a river, you’ll love it. If you fit into any other category, you’ll hate the place. I wanted to find out for myself.
Travel Inspiration: From Little Englander to Travel Lover!
When I saw that The Planet D were looking for inspirational stories about travelling and how the experience has helped shaped people’s lives, I immediately thought about my own travels and whether or not I could express accurately how the experience affected me. It has taken a few drafts but I think (and hope) I [...]
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
Our Favourite Photos of 2011 by Destination
This past year was an interesting one. We got to re-visit some places we had already been but more importantly we got to take in some of our dream destinations for the first time. We thought the best way to show you why we loved all the places we visited was through our favourite photos from each country. So sit back with a cup of coffee and come travel with us for a few moments.
Give the Gift of Hope for the Holidays
Your Christmas shopping is done. Unfortunately, there are children in this world that have never received a gift. They don’t know what it’s like to go to school, play with toys or even have the opportunity to drink clean water. You can change all that with the Intrepid Foundation.
Adventure Travel Wrap Up – A Look Back on 2011
As I sit down to write this 2011 Adventure Travel Round up, I am in shock and awe that we really did all these things in a span of 365 days. We just lived a year of adventure travel that I never thought I would have the opportunity to ever do in my life
Charity for the Philippines – A Birthday Adventure
Four months before I turned 31, I was thinking of something different to do on my birthday.The mere mention of “indigenous tribe” was so appealing I organized a team of 22 individuals for this adventure to the Philippines.
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.
Paradise: Tropical Islands in Pictures
I’m Dreaming a Tropical Island. What is it about the islands that make life better? Is it the tropical breeze coming in from the ocean? Lets take you away, far far away to some of the most stunning islands on earth in our collection of Tropical Islands in Pictures.
Picture Perfect Portraits: Children of the World
Picture perfect portraits tell so much about the subject. When we travel, we meet so many sweet and curious children around the world that absolutely love having their photos taken.
Three Awesome Asian Festivals
The Holiday season is fast approaching and while we may be all about Christmas here in Canada, we’ve got nothing on the astounding Asian Festivals that we’ve attended in the past. We’ve been lucky enough to stumble upon some awesome festivals like Shilpgram in Udaipur India, Chinese New Year in Malaysia, A cremation ceremony in [...]
Amazing Ruins of the World: A Visual Memory
As I go through the list of amazing ruins we have visited on our travels, I see that we have barely scratched the surface of all there is to see in the world. We have yet to see Easter Island, Stonehenge, The Acropolis in Athens or the Roman Colosseum. We may never see any of [...]
A Fifth Generation Portrait from Thailand
Taking portraits is one of my favourite forms of photography. When we were traveling through Northern Thailand with The Smiling Albino, we had a gorgeous day walking along the tea terraces. Yes, there are tea terraces in Thailand.
Top Adventure Destinations Part 2
Today we are on our way to the Adventure Travel World Summit in Chiapas Mexico and we thought it would be a good idea to stick with the adventure theme and share Part two of our Top 5 countries for adventure around the world. There was no way we could narrow our favourite destinations down [...]
Adventure Travel 101
Want to take part in Adventure Travel? Many people have asked us how they can add adventure into their travels. They think that if they don’t have a lot of time, they can’t have an adventure. Oh yes you can!
American Express Gold Rewards Kindly, Accepted in Central Asia
This summer we were approached by American Express Canada to test drive their new American Express Gold Rewards Card and after using it for the past few months, we’re big fans.
