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 ...

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 ...

For the past few months I have been doing a few weekend trips, but lately I have also been thinking about seeing New Orleans. Mind you, when I do take a few days off I usually go somewhere out of North America, but this time I thought about seeing a little of the south.

Tangier in my mind was filled with charming markets, amazing food, decades of history, and ...

A few years ago, I decided I wanted to experience I totally different way of backpacking. So I picked a European Country, where I knew my British passport was valid to use for a work permit. I decided on Ireland, a country that was not yet under my belt. Once I landed there I knew I wanted to find a job within the industry of bartending or serving. But that was not the hard part; it was finding a place to l ...

It's really not that dangerous, I promise! Prior to leaving for a 5-month semester in Monterrey, Mexico, people thought I was crazy. "Mexico is so dangerous", "They'll kidnap you", "Don't go out by yourself", "Don't walk alone when it's dark", "Don't go to Chiapas, it's dangerous", "Don't go to Mexico DF, you'll get mugged" and the list goes on and on and on. And of course, I still went to Mexico. Not only ...

You're flying someplace far and find yourself on a stopover in a really cool city- London, Paris, NYC- but only have a few hours to visit the city. What do you do? Do you hang out in the airport for a few hours or do you check in your luggage and visit the city? On my way to spend New Year's Eve in Nice (France) a few years ago, I found myself  in London for a about 8 hours. I was traveling with two other f ...

Less than 30 days to go I will be in the hot tropical sun enjoying the beach and many other wonders!! Yes I am going away again, yay! I am off to Cuba for a friend’s wedding, lots of beach, sun and alcohol. But never the less, the adventure tickle is going to still be with me. Since I have been to Cuba almost a dozen times, I think its time for me to see the city of Havana. I know, its crazy I have been to ...
