Why is it easy to stay at home and not travel? Everyone tells me, “One day I will travel” or “ I will travel when I get older”. Travel always seems to put a big stop in everyone lives and for the most part many people don’t know how to go about it. Why is this so? Everyone wishes to just quit their jobs, run away from their day to day life and travel the world. Yet, this seems to be the hardest part for peo ...

photo credit: http://mumbai.olx.in I have always wanted to learn another language. I tried French and did German for three years, but either of them really had me wanting to further understand the language. I guess I just didn’t like them, but for me Spanish was one language I have always wanted to learn. I thought if I learned Spanish I would have a lot better understanding of what many people around the w ...

The Merriam-Webster defines happiness as "A state of well-being and contentment". It sounds like a pretty straight forward definition, right? Wrong... Happiness has a different meaning depending on where you live,  how old you are and the obstacles you have faced in your life. In North America, being happy means owning a big home, riding a nice car, going on vacation every year and having a comfortable amou ...

Within the last two years, many things in my life have done many twist and turns. Some for the good and some for the bad, but with each change my passion for traveling, producing, and photography have never been lost. For many people keeping your passion active or even finding your passion can be one of the most difficult things to do in life. I found over the years within my travels and meeting an assortme ...

A while back, my friend planned a white water rafting trip for her birthday. Open to doing new things, I said yes in a heartbeat. Signing my life away on the site prior to embarking on the raft seemed like no big deal at the time. Oh boy was I wrong! As a previous competitive swimmer, water was my best friend. I practically lived in it so I definitely had no fear of it . I foresaw no issue with going white ...

Throughout my many travels over the years, I have traveled with people and as well a solo backpacker. What I mean by traveling with someone, is a friend or an individual who you know very well. With each of my travels, every time I do travel with someone or solo it is always very different, but at the same time there are similar traits that occur too. As many people ask, “ What do you prefer, traveling solo ...

For all your adventurous people out there, this is a two-wheeler that can be converted into a backpacker in a matter of minutes. So if you're going on a biking trip, you should definitely consider this cool item!

Nara and I. Reunited. For a week-end. Camping. In Ontario. Canada. As most of you know, Nara and I met 5 years ago while backpacking in Portugal. While she lives in Toronto and I live in Montreal, we still managed to stay friends throughout the years. While the blog keeps us close, we're not always physically in the same location! But last week-end was a different story... Since the both of us are adventuro ...

Whenever I leave for a backpacking adventure many people ask me the same question. “ So where do you stay when you backpack?” As like every true backpacker, I answer, “ In hostels.” And everytime I say that, others tell me, “ Really, you stay in those places.” Its like there is something wrong with the idea of a hostel. In the public eye, hostels are seen as dirty, scary, and impersonal. This is only becaus ...
