Where else could I be talking about other than our good friend Australia? The place where you are no safer on land, than you are in the water, or with the locals at the bar. I’ve provided some first hand mistakes to let you enjoy the beautiful continent:
1) If planning a trip here, [...]
Thats enough work. Who wants to sponsor me so that I can write more on fighting lobsters and falling backwards off waterfalls? To apologize for my boringness here is a present to keep you occupied for a few minutes:
Watch this random guy doing a terrible dance in about 20 different countries:
So I was watching some tv episode on a network website the other day when a RBC Bank ad came on. It says how would you like to take a surf trip to the other side of the world? Just save 25$ a week…for 5 years! Sure I’m impatient and a fully fledged child of [...]
Jet lag I can deal with, sleep deprivation and over indulgence are a part of my life. What is a rude shock is a temperature change from +35 C to -20C. Its like night and day, going from the realm of the cold bloods, to the exclusively warm blooded territory.
No lying outside in the [...]
On the recommendation of successful blogger @befaster, I wrote up a slightly more refined article than normal. My first, and perhaps last article can be found at:
30 before 30 – 10 years of spontaneity summed up in 30 seconds.
Maybe this wasn’t planned out too well…
I have some family, and a couch to stay on for a bit, apart from that I have nothing here. Better get started!
Just got a local phone number today, so thats a step in the right direction. Tomorrow I fix up the resume and wade into [...]
I got out of the natural jungle yesterday and am sitting in Starbucks on Yonge Street in Downtown Toronto.
I could lie and say that internet was sparse in Costa Rica which is why I didn’t write. Its more accurate to say many cafes had free internet, but I was too busy surfing, snorkelling, climbing [...]
There are a lot of things the tropics are good for, writing isn’t one of them so far. Weathers great, foods good, pace is laid back. But everything seems to be trying to kill you.
Any period of time out surfing sees the sun burning you from above, your board trying to hit you [...]
Flew into liberia costa rica yesterday after a night in Texas. My little iPod touch is all I’ve got so updates will probably be a bit shorter.
8am in the little hostel now, and were all gonna head out surfing a bit later. Coming straight from a canadian winter my goal is to not get [...]
Moving sucks. I have a ridiculously small amount of things, but it is still way too much. It is always too much. Moving out of an apartment and having it take more than a couple hours annoys me.
I am a firm believer in Minimalistic travel. I probably take less on a 6 month trip [...]
My latest skill to learn from the internet. Surfing inside a barrel.
In 2011 I learned to become an intermediate level snowboarder after a few youtube videos and 5 or so trips to the mountain. When I arrived at the level of carving straight down the blue runs, landing average jumps, and dodging trees in [...]
A well travelled friend of mine had a great recommendation to organize the travel section into interactive sections based on regions. So this is it. Where better to start than right here on Vancouver Island. If anyone is an expert on this area we all are.
Ammonite Falls, Tofino beaches, Horne Lake Caves…
If you [...]
What I should be doing: packing, or emptying out my apartment, or applying for jobs.
What I am doing: drinking coffee, listening to music without autotune, writing random stuff, planning and spending time with awesome people.
Significantly cut some days off my countdown to bankruptcy clock by hanging out with the K man last night. [...]
After adding descriptions to my own favorite places list I got bored. I want to know where your favourite places are. Is it a country, or a local coffee shop, or a desert oasis, or a waterfall at a certain time of year? Or just somewhere you’ve always wanted to go?
Don’t [...]
A matter of days before my world changes.
My resignation letter is delivered. My hometown stability is being sacrificed for change, and adventure. Again. You may ask how can I afford it? How can that guy afford to travel so much? The simple answer is that I can’t.
What I do is adapt, I get [...]
I never claim to be the hardest worker, I’m often lazy but I’m always quick with justification. If people weren’t lazy and innovating, we would all be working hard hiking to wells for water instead of inventing cars. We might be transcribing books individually on scrolls instead of inventing the printing press. We might still [...]
There are a few things I’ve learned in life, some helpful and some painfully not.
As I sit in the library at the local university I cannot help but know that my Generation is much different than the last. The established system of work and education is not evolving as fast as we are. [...]
