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.

How Bali Changed My Life

Mount Batur Bali
Bali’s Volcano…

Back in 2009, I did something that I had been promising myself for many years. I embarked on my first long-term trip to New Zealand and Australia. For five whole months, I explored two new countries and challenged myself in ways I never imagined. I jumped out of an airplane, bungy-jumped off of the Auckland bridge, abseiled into caves, climbed a volcano, hang-glided over the sea, witnessed the twelve apostles, and scuba dived with sharks at night. Reading this makes me seem like some sort of adventure junkie, but I actually wasn’t…at the time. Sure I had slowly been exploring life’s possibilities and trying new things like white water rafting in the Canadian Rockies and riding as many roller coasters as I could, but still, I was a relatively shy guy who wasn’t really into adrenaline sports or thrill-seeking.

When I first landed in New Zealand however, I felt like a new person. I had this new zest for life. I had this incredible adventure ahead of me and I was free to do with it as I pleased. It was only 7 AM when I pulled up to my Queenstown hostel after an early flight from Canada when I noticed an advertisement for sky-diving. I figured “what the hell?”, and immediately signed up. Less than 30-hours after landing in a new country, I was up in a small plane, getting ready to jump out at 15,000 feet. [Read more…] about How Bali Changed My Life

Why Now is a Great Time to Visit Nepal

The Ultimate Guide to Nepal

Any normal person would have given up. It was like the universe was telling me not to go. Not only had Nepal experienced a devastating earthquake a few months prior but it was now dealing with a fuel crisis, which was causing heaps of problems for both locals and foreigners.

We were actually in Istanbul, Turkey (Sept 2015), and it didn’t look like our plan for Nepal was going to work out. We had approximately two months before returning home and our initial plan was to visit Nepal for three weeks followed by one month in India. After all, both my wife and I had always wanted to see Nepal and during this crisis, the people could use the tourism dollars more than ever. After all, tourism was down by close to 80% thanks to the problems mentioned above. [Read more…] about Why Now is a Great Time to Visit Nepal

The Ultimate Guide for Things to Do in Palau

Things to Do in Palau

From the moment I learned about a lake full of stinger-less Jellyfish, Palau became a dream trip I had to make happen. Nestled next to Micronesia, Palau is the epitome of tropical paradise. Glistening turquoise waters give rise to stunning rock islands covered in a luscious green jungle. If you’ve always dreamed of visiting a tropical paradise and love scuba diving, Palau should be high on your list.

My wife and I had just one week in Palau, which went very fast. Most of our days were spent scuba diving the incredible reefs but we also took a couple of days to go kayaking and to just relax on the beach.

If you’re planning to add Palau to your dream list, this guide should give you a good idea of what to expect and what to do. [Read more…] about The Ultimate Guide for Things to Do in Palau

An Unforgettable Adventure to Golden Rock and the Inner-Beauty of Myanmar

Inle Lake Fisherman Myanmar

After a beautiful hike to Inle Lake, we jumped onto a bus to Bago. There couldn’t have been a bigger contrast. Our 3-day hike to Inle Lake was quite peaceful, skirting by small villages and tea plantations as well as spending nights in a small local home and monastery. Once at Inle Lake, we cruised across the smooth glass-like water, stopping by craft shops and watching fisherman cast their nets into the water. We stayed a couple of nights in the small town of Nyaung Shwe as well, relaxing for much of the time. Bago, on the other hand, was one of the noisiest cities I’ve ever experienced. Our guesthouse, which was right off the main drag, was the perfect place to fully experience the smorgasbord of endless vehicles, motorbikes, and people walking along the dusty street, amplified by their persistence of playing the horn. Like in India, locals were laying into the horn as if their lives depended on it. Standing on the balcony and looking down upon the chaos, we felt like we were in a movie. You know, that bustling scene that transports you to a distant land that you never knew existed. Gone were the scenic landscapes of Inle Lake. It was back to city life. Sort of. I mean, it’s not New York. [Read more…] about An Unforgettable Adventure to Golden Rock and the Inner-Beauty of Myanmar
