Worldwide Backpacker and Adventure Tourism Consultant
Continued from here. That morning, I met some folks at the Airbnb who were also going to the festival, so I hopped in with them, and arrived nice and early to the site for the second day. Much more of an emo feel to the day (with the exception of happy ska-punkers Less Than Jake). […]
Read More LA Pt.2 Back to the Beach, Elysian Park and Downtown LAI love live music, so when I saw one of my old favourite bands were playing down in LA, a city I’ve been hoping to experience for a long time, and it wasn’t in the peak of summer, I had to jump at the chance to get down there and get double the bang for […]
Read More LA Pt.1 Arrival, Newport and Back to the Beach day 1Continued from here. Hilo immediately struck me as a nice place to be. Open and spacious, developed and interesting, with a nice combination of culture and commercialism. It’s not popular as a tourist destination, so it’s a haven for locals, and it shines because of that. There’s no $150 luau on the beach, instead there.s […]
Read More Hawaii, Hawaii, USA – Pt6Continued from here. The ‘commuter’ terminal in Maui might not be much to see, but the flight between really is. It’s not a scenic flight, but when there’s only eight of you in the plane and you’re flying right next to a volcano over perfect beaches it’s hard not to enjoy it. About twenty minutes […]
Read More Hawaii, Hawaii, USA – Pt4Continued from here So where next? Well I love to climb volcanoes, so I went up the volcano. As much as driving really is cheating, it was still a cool drive, and that hike would’ve taken an awful long time to walk. It definitely the most commercial volcano I’ve been on, with a little gift […]
Read More Maui, Hawaii, USA – Pt3Continued from here As we approached Hana there’s a little bundle of things to see. The village itself is cute, but not too exciting, so we grabbed some food at the street food stop just on the road back out of town. The food trucks here are a really good way to eat on a […]
Read More Maui, Hawaii, USA – Pt2One of the great things about working in the tourism industry is low seasons. Plenty of holiday time, and it’s usually a pretty cheap time to travel. I managed to get a break away from Canada just before Spring Break in the USA, and did my usual search to find the cheapest place I could […]
Read More Maui, Hawaii, USA – Pt1Continued From Here. That night at the hostel they had a happy hour, which I thought was a little odd, as they don’t have a bar, turns out it’s a guy who brings in a few cans, and hands them out for free. I met a few others, and then the guy took us for […]
Read More Chicago, the Windy City Pt.2So, like the cost cutting, penny pinching Brit that I am, I can’t fly through a city without hopping out and having a look while I’m there, ticking it off my list so I don’t need to fly back again. More destinations for that flight price makes sense to me. And so, I found myself […]
