Puerto Vallarta Vacations During COVID

by Matt Leave a Comment

puerto vallarta vacations

Okay, so first things first, this was somewhat of a new experience for us. Despite visiting Mexico dozens of times and despite my wife being born and raised in Mexico, we’ve almost never been to an all-inclusive resort before. In fact, the only two times we’ve ever done an all-inclusive hotel was in Puerto Vallarta and never for more than three nights.

For most of my travelling life, I’ve kinda looked down on the whole “resort” thing. After all, so many Americans and Canadians spent an entire week or two at an all-inclusive resort and then claim they’ve “been to Mexico”. While technically true, life within a resort is nothing like the real Mexico. It’s pretty much just an exclusive club and you miss out on awesome local culture, ancient pyramids, colonials towns, and more.

But I get it.

17 Fun Things to Do at Home

by Matt 2 Comments

fun things to do at home

Who woulda thought that we’d be spending a good chunk of the 2020s on lockdown in our own homes. I thought we were supposed to be flying around in earth-powered Jetson vehicles, transporting ourselves through the sky. Instead, we’re all inside hiding from an enemy that’s barely visible under a microscope.

We’re used to travelling the globe with a nomadic lifestyle. We’re used to going downtown and hanging out with friends. We’re used to going to the office and spending a little bit too long in the bathroom just to escape another minute of the work-life. Now we know – it could be worse. haha.

But guess what! You don’t have to be bored. While you should definitely get outside for a walk now and then, there’s also plenty of opportunities to get to have fun inside, learn new things, laugh at people doing stupid things, and all sorts of other digital things. Inside or outside. I never get bored. There’s so much to do!

Below is a list of things that have come up during the COVID-19 pandemic but it will also be updated as we go because even when the pandemic goes away, people get bored for some reason.

Okay, let’s begin! [Read more…] about 17 Fun Things to Do at Home

Places to Visit in Egypt

From the Red Sea to the Pyramids – Exploring Egypt Above and Under

Blue ocean to my right. A massive coral wall to my left. Above me, a shark glides near the surface. An Oceanic Whitetip. This is what we’ve all been waiting for and it’s only our third dive of the trip.

Known as a rather “curious” shark, all of us have been briefed on what to do during an encounter with one of these magnificent creatures. The first rule is to stay calm. This is a fairly general rule for most animal encounters. They tend to sense how nervous you are and if you start to flail around, you look injured and like a very easy meal. The second rule is to stay vertical. Perhaps this makes you look bigger. I don’t know. The third rule is to keep your limbs in. Don’t stick out your arm or wave it around in a panic. Don’t give it something easy to bite. You know, things like that. [Read more…] about Places to Visit in Egypt

Things To Do in Jordan

by Matt 2 Comments

With a history of welcoming visitors, including the camel caravans that traveled the King’s Highway, the Roman legionnaires, the various Muslim armies and zealous Crusaders, Jordan is continuing on it’s tradition with today’s common tourist. It’s also a great place to get a taste for the middle east. Surrounded by a region of conflict, Jordan remains a safe haven for those wanting to explore these incredibly historic lands. From World Heritage Sites to stunning desert landscapes, Jordan has been captivating explorers and travellers for thousands of years.

In a land that predates biblical times, there are a lot of things to do in Jordan. Separated from Palestine by the Jordan River and sharing a border with Israel, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Iraq, Jordan was home to the ancient biblical kingdoms of Moab, Gilead, and Edom, as well as the Nabatean Kingdom, Roman conquests, and the Nabataean culture that created the world-famous red stone city of Petra. Needless to say, there is history everywhere you look.

We explored Jordan as part of a one-month trip that included Egypt, Israel, and Jordan. We found that a lot of the people we met were doing something similar. All three countries are so close that it might make sense if you have the time. We spent just over two weeks in Egypt with one whole week on a live-aboard scuba diving ship, four days in Israel, and one week in Jordan. One week was enough to see the most famous sites, but there’s a heck of a lot more to see in Jordan. Another couple we had met from Germany had been travelling around the country for a month and loved it. However, for those of you who do only have one week or so, this will be a great itinerary to follow.

What Should I Do With My Life?

I’m 25, what should I do with my life?
This was the question that popped up in my Quora feed. For some reason, I felt inspired to answer it. After all, I love to share advice that I wish I would have had when I was 25. or 16, or 18, or 20, and so forth. In fact, I think a lot of this type of advice is good for any age. Of course, I’m not a “life professional” by any stretch, but I have done some interesting things and have met a lot of people from all walks of life. I’ve read a lot, lived a lot, and have learned from many different people along the way.

My Experience with PRK Surgery and PRK Recovery

by Matt 13 Comments

PRK Surgery recovery
My first night after having PRK surgery.

(Disclaimer: This is my personal experience with having PRK/TSA eye surgery done in Calgary, Alberta. I am in no way a doctor nor am I recommending you get the surgery. This is a very personal decision and you should absolutely seek the advice of a professional before making any decisions.) 

For as long as I can remember, I’ve worn glasses. I’m not sure exactly when I was prescribed glasses but it was definitely in the early years of elementary school. They started off as big ugly things. Big glasses that stand out in pictures and make me cringe when I see those photos now. Slowly, they became smaller and smaller, but still relatively ugly. Eventually, I also tried out contacts, but due to my strong astigmatism, they were expensive and not very comfortable. [Read more…] about My Experience with PRK Surgery and PRK Recovery
