Worldwide Backpacker and Adventure Tourism Consultant
Continued from here So this was my day off from the GO Card, as I had a concert to head to that evening, so I found out what was offered at the hostel that day. The HI Santa Monica does a lot of different bits and pieces for the guests, most of which are […]
Read More LA Pt5 – The Getty and the GO Card Pt3 – Sony Studios and Venice BeachContinued from here My last full day on the island, and the last chance to really explore – time to check out a volcano (again!) The Big Island has its fair share of them, and while the Volcano National Park is the most active, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are much taller. And like the […]
Read More Hawaii, Hawaii, USA – Pt8.Continued from here. I had booked my car the day previous, but failed to do enough research on the buses – so I walked out to the airport. Not a great start, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Once I had the car, the real fun began, my grand circumnavigation of the island, from […]
Read More Hawaii, Hawaii, USA – Pt7One 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 […]
Read More Chicago, the Windy City Pt.1A post from the Reddit sub forum r/solotravel a community I have become involved with, and like to contribute what I can. It’s all words, but hang on and I’ll be putting out my complete report with pictures soon. Hey folks, Just got back from a nice little break from the cold Canadian winter down […]
Read More Hawaii – A Reddit Post r/solotravelIn October I moved to Canada, it’s been 6 months now and it’s going great. I flew into Vancouver airport October 20th, and was whisked straight into the downtown, My first taste of a Canadian HI hostel, something which becomes more significant much later, and the infamous weather of Canada’s’ West Coast in winter. It’s […]
Read More Welcome to CanadaUsing a bit of time off from the Busabout Greek Island Hopper I visited Rhodes, one of the largest of the Greek islands, closer to the Turkish mainland than Greece but only a short (and cheap) flight away from Athens. I arrived in the morning, and immediately jumped on the bus into Rhodos, or Rhodes […]
Read More Rhodes, Islands of Castles Pt.1So I had another couple of days available, so decided a quick jaunt over to Rome was in order. I’ve never been to Italy before, but I’d heard good things about it, mostly about the food. But we all know about the history, at least some of it. The Ancient Romans, the Vatican and so […]
