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

How To Become An Interesting Person

Standing next to the South Nahanni River in Nahanni National Park, Canada.

Afghan music playing in the background, I sit here writing as a gopher sneaks by. In front of me, Afghan and Mexican ladies dance to both Afghan and latino music. A war is brewing but it hasn’t arrived yet. In fact, It’s probably the only time that innocent villagers hope the war comes. We actually hope that the guns will start shooting and the tanks will roll in at any minute.

We hope for this because this is just a training scenario; a $30,000,000 training scenario for the Canadian military in which I am a simple actor…an “extra” so to speak. There are no cameras, however, and none of us are allowed phones or any electronic devices in the field. It’s relatively top secret and will determine the suitability of whether the soldiers will go overseas or not. I first heard about the exercise back in 2011 when my wife was searching for Spanish-related jobs. Since these training scenarios are to train the military for overseas operations, the villagers cannot speak English. This is why they try to recruit people with a second language. That’s also why I am just an “extra”, adding “population” to the various villages set up across a vast amount of land near Wainwright, Alberta. Definitely an experience to add to your Alberta bucket list!I only speak English and therefore, I cannot speak to the soldiers.

Preparing for Travel

Flying First Class

As someone who has visited six continents, I get asked all the time about travel preparation. People are interested in how to go about getting visas for different countries, how to check the safety of a destination, what vaccinations to get, and what sort of travel insurance they should get.

There’s certainly no “one-way” of doing things and many travelers might have differing opinions, but if you’re going to be leaving your country, you should at least have some general knowledge of various travel preparations and decide what you want to do and how you will prepare.

Finding The Best “Travel” Credit Card for You

by Matt

how to be a travel hacker
As many of you know, I love credit cards. I often have as many as 6-10 in my wallet at a time. There are a variety of reasons as to why I love credit cards and the top reason is due to the reward points you can earn with them. I’m known as a travel hacker, meaning I utilize credit cards to rack up frequent flyer miles and reward points and then use them on incredible trips around the world. However, I also love credit cards because they make it easy to keep track of expenses, come with travel insurance and other benefits, and keep my pockets free from loose change.
Not all credit cards are created equal though, and so I thought I’d share some tips for finding the best one for you.

How To Find The Perfect Travel Credit Card

Not all credit cards are created equal and not all cards will be a great match for your needs. I should also mention that you can hold more than one if need be. I often carry upwards of 10 different credit cards, mainly because I like to maximize my travel points. At the same time, I never spend more than I have. In fact, this is important. If you can’t pay off your balance in full each month, I would stay away from credit cards as the interest will quickly deflate the value of your points and cause a lot of stress in your life.

TRAVEL THE WORLD BY AUTOMOBILE

Some of my best memories of travel have come from road trips. One of those special trips was back in 2011 when my wife and I took a 40-day road trip from Alberta, Canada all the way down the coast to San Diego, California, and back up through the deserts of Nevada, the red landscapes of Utah and the gushing geysers of Yellowstone National Park. It was absolutely incredible. We had the freedom to go wherever we wanted to and we could change our plans on a whim. Below are some tips for renting cars.

The Best Way to Book Cheap Flights

Once you have a destination in mind, it might be time to find a flight. If you’re like most people, you’re probably looking to find the best deal. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place.

Below are the best options for finding the cheapest flight.

Skyscanner

(www.skyscanner.com)

Skyscanner is my go-to tool for finding cheap flights anywhere in the world. Skyscanner does a good job at scanning different booking engines, which enables you to search multiple sites in a matter of minutes. If you value things like flight duration, flight times and so forth, there are features that bring these options into the results. If you find a flight you like, you’ll simply be redirected to the site that’s offering the fare. No charge. Not ready to book? No problem. You can also choose to get price alerts, which means Skyscanner will email you when a better deal comes up. 

PRO TIP:
If the flight is offered through one airline (not multiple airlines), consider checking the price on the airline’s website first.
