Vagabonding: Living the Choice of Freedom & Adventure

by Leave a Comment

Since my 6 month journey down under, I can’t seem to picture my life without the constant curiosity and adventure of long-term travel. Life will never be the same for me. I will never happily be able to ride the migratory route to work each day, live in the same community my whole life, and partake in the everyday average hobbies and activities that have become continuous out of simplicity and habit.

I’ve always wanted to come up with my own term for what I do and the way I feel on the road but really it all comes down to the notion of vagabonding.

Vagabonding, by definition is: (1) The act of leaving behind the orderly world to travel independently for an extended period of time. (2) A privately meaningful manner of travel that emphasizes creativity, adventure, awareness, simplicity, discovery, independence, realism, self-reliance, and the growth of the spirit. (3) A deliberate way of living that makes freedom to travel possible. [Read more…] about Vagabonding: Living the Choice of Freedom & Adventure

Travel Tip: How to get 50% off 4 Star Hotels!

by 3 Comments

I love travel as I’m sure everyone knows already. I also love doing it as cheap as I can and finding sweet deals. The same goes for hotels. Everyone likes saving money when they can and Priceline can definitely help.

I heard about Priceline 2-3 years ago because they were giving people the option to bid for airfare. Similar to an auction in some ways, you would bid the amount you want to pay for a particular flight and if the airline thought it was fare, you would win. This is only offered in the U.S. though so I didn’t have much reason to return.

Then I found out about bidding for hotels on Priceline which was also available in Canada. I used it on my trip to Vancouver 3 months ago and it worked fantastic! [Read more…] about Travel Tip: How to get 50% off 4 Star Hotels!

The first World of Inspiration E-book – Looking for your feedback

by Leave a Comment

When I started this site, my main objective was to interview and profile inspiring people and communities all across the planet.

Whenever I travel, I tend to meet great people that are doing amazing things which inspire me to do great things as well.

Every time we turn on the news or read a newspaper, we hear about all the bad things happening in the world. We hear people around us saying how the world is getting worse. I don’t think so. I think it’s improving quite substantially but unfortunately, only the bad news tends to sell. Anger breeds more anger.

What about all the inspiring things happening in the world? I can tell you first hand that there are lots of people trying to make the world a better place each and every day. Wouldn’t you like to wake up every day, open up this site and hear about all the amazing people, communities, and businesses trying to make a positive impact on the world? Wouldn’t it give you so much positive energy to take with you throughout the day?

That’s my aim. I want to make A World of Inspiration the number one site for you to visit for inspiration and positive news around the globe.

That’s where the first E-book comes into play. A free E-book for everyone to download and share. The E-book will feature many inspiring people and what they do to make the world a better place.

As I started to create the E-book, I thought “Why don’t I ask my readers what they would like to see in the book?”

So that’s what I would like to ask all of you.

What would you like to see in the first E-book of A World of Inspiration?

Do you have any ideas in mind?

Any people you would like to see?

Any communities you would like to see profiled?

Businesses?

Anything you can think of I will try to incorporate into the book. I would truly love to hear from each of you so please just comment below or send me an email.

The deadline will be midnight, November 28th.

I look forward to hearing from all of you. 🙂

How to Fly Around the World for Free!

(This post is now being updated)

Being able to fly around the world for almost free has been truly life-changing. How in the world would I have been able to get on a $15,000 one-way flight with my own suite and on-board shower if it wasn’t for learning how to master the world frequent flyer miles? Instead of $15,000, the flight was $89 plus points. I’ve also flown around the entire world in business class, along with my wife who enjoyed the added comfort and pampering.

This is not some scheme. It’s called travel hacking and it’s the simple art of mastering the frequent flyer mile industry. If you learn the tips, tricks, strategies involved in becoming a pro travel hacker, you will be flying around the world for next to nothing. Guaranteed. All you have to do is learn the steps and then make it a priority. I have a number of articles that are free for you to read.

If you want to take it more seriously, I also offer some paid courses, offering you 10-100x the value of what you’ll pay. If you’re Canadian, you’ll want to check out CanadianFreeFlyers.com, which is specifically designed for Canucks. You’ll learn everything you need to know to start earning hundreds of thousands of miles each and every year and how to redeem them for world trips. If you’re not Canadian, I recommend my other course Zero to Dream Trip (www.Zerotodreamtrip.com), which teaches the same things but focused more on American deals. Whichever course you choose, you’ll be able to make your dream trips happen for a fraction of the price, each and every year.

 

Talk to you soon,

Happy Travels,

Matt

 

 

 

 

Surfing in Canada & the Beauty of the West Coast

by 3 Comments

Have you ever searched around your own city or town to see what adventures you could hit up? I always seem to overlook the possibility of adventure near my own city. I realized this when I was in New Zealand last year. I was hiking some of the mountains on the south island when someone asked me where I was from. When I told them I was from Calgary, which is about 1 hour from the Rocky Mountains, they immediately asked how the hikes were and how great the skiing was. I couldn’t even answer. I had never hiked the Rockies. I had lived in Calgary for about 6 years and had never hiked the rockies. I had only skied a couple times but never at one of the famous resorts. “What was I doing?” I thought to myself. I’m all the way across the world conquering countries when I haven’t even conquered my own yet. I decided that as soon as I returned, I would hike at least one trail before the end of the summer and I would try the 2 famous ski resorts closest to me in the winter. I did! And since then I have been trying to experience all that Canada (especially the west coast) has to offer. [Read more…] about Surfing in Canada & the Beauty of the West Coast

Last week I made my first trip to Las Vegas. The city had never really been a magnet for reeling me in but when a best friend brings it up and we find flight and hotel deals for $200, I can’t pass it up.

It was a hot and dry night when we arrived in Vegas. Amazing night temperature and a strip full of lights. We checked in to the Excalibur hotel and immediately headed out to enjoy the night.

The next morning we joined a few others who had flown down and headed to the mall at Mandalay Bay. Next thing I know, I find myself in a Peter Lik art gallery. [Read more…] about Inspired by photography
