East Coast Road Trippin’ – Lock, Stock and 4 Rubber Tires
Traveling abroad in any country you are constantly meeting new people, making new friends, and sharing a large variety of conversation. After the standard hello’s and maybe a quick laugh about the situation you’ve found yourself in, the next question is generally, “So where’re you from?” Being from Canada, I’ve found I’m generally met with…
Life In Terminal
The airport is a funny place to find yourself, especially if you’re travelling internationally. For many it is simply a stopover point on route to their final destination. For some it’s the start of something, or the end of something. Some people arrive exhausted, others unable to sleep; it’s one of the only places you…

What’s In Your Backpack – Keep a Journal
When you decide to take that leap to book a plane ticket and venture off towards a new place and a new environment, it’s so easy to get caught in the chaos and pure visceral experience of it all, that it seems to sometimes fade away in a blur. Sure you’ve got you Iphone or…
Tuesdays Travel Tip – Settle In
Let’s face it, for the majority of people travelling (especially South East Asia) you’re on the move a lot.

Vietnam by Motorcycle – Hue we go to Hoi An
After 500,000d in bike repairs and a day of walking through the city of Hue’s historic sights we decided we’d again revert to our rubber tramp ways. Pulling out beneath the Imperial Enclosure gates we departed from Hue at about 9am, preparing for a full day on the road and to come upon the legendary…
Tuesdays Travel Tip – Keep in Touch
Keep in touch, it’s simple. Send a quick email, use Facebook messenger, hop on skype for 20 minutes, or send a text with Imessage. When travelling you’re constantly being overwhelmed by new sensations, experiences, and things to do that the down time required to type a small message seems unavailable. However, as any traveller should…
