A 25 hour train trip to Seattle, Washington. The Pacific NorthWest is so lush and beautiful, amazingly it only drizzled once the entire week...and that was at the end of our day trip to Victoria, Canada. Lots of good food there, had Thai one night and Ethiopian food the next. Some really great bubble tea too!!

I asked my mom to drive me to the Kelowna airport, and we couldn’t get there fast enough. I was so excited to be going to London. It had been a long year of University, and I had just finished my first teaching practicum, and I was burnt out, so this vacation couldn’t have come at a better time…

One heavy night and hangover too many. Not a lot achieved in two weeks. A lot of money spent. One simple solution, stop drinking like a tool and start doing something a bit more positive with your time.So I have just had my first night out minus alcohol on my big giving up journey. I have sunk two …

I said goodbye to my dad and uncle at the Greyhound Station in Windsor, Canada. I would be taking the bus to Toronto. It was my first time crossing over into Canada, and I spent the 5 hour bus ride reading Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, and bought a sandwich from Subway on the 10 minute break stop…

The travel seed was always planted in the back of my mind, but really only began to grow in the last 6 weeks or so.  It flourished so quickly that what originally was an autumn vacation to Australia suddenly became a 6 month round-the-world backpacking trip. The only logical next step was…

Post-trip: Filling in this blog seems far too overwhelming... maybe Tom and I will sit down one day, and just go for it... one of these days... haha

I have been spending a lot of time lately trying to decide my next trip. I want to plan a longer trip this time as my 6 weeks in Europe in the spring just wasn’t enough for me. I’ve been considering maybe Asia this time around or possibly Australia but I’m finding it really hard to actually c…

It started as a joke during our telephone conversation a month before when our long-time friends from Winnipeg had been 'heavily' persuaded by my wife to come and visit us; no one obliged and committed. By first week of August, a convoy of three loaded minivan was parked in front of our r…

no laptops fr the trip....i flee to Halifax from Toronto by "greydog" at night. the destination was decided last night by a thought flashed through my head while i was drinking $7 vermouth:"i wanna see the ocean". Toronto is just enough fr me, i don't kno what I may do if I stay in this hous…

Up early and i drove into town along buffalo avenue and parked up on 3rd street  opposite a souvenir shop which has a small 'Dare Devil' museum  in it , i ask the guy and he says that the street parking is free there , which is a result considering it is $10 per day  a few hundred ya…

The ways of St. James rest on over one thousand years of history and legends (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_of_St._James ).    Althought, I'm not particularly religious, I had heard of it and was very much intrigued by the philosophy and culture surrounding it.  Ev…
