Worldwide Backpacker and Adventure Tourism Consultant
One 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 – Pt1When you’re days off line up with a buddies in a town like Banff, you make plans to get out and explore – so this time we headed south. We had both visited Fernie before, but again the town surprised me in it’s friendliness and accessibility, it’s such a typical mountain town it’s almost cliche. […]
Read More Fernie and Castle, Road Trippin’Continued 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.1Continued from here. So from Valladolid it’s very easy and quick to get to Chichen Itza, It’s only about an hour drive and there are plenty of collectivos running. I would recommend the 7am bus, getting you there just before the doors open. This probably means a little more queuing than if you arrived 15 […]
Read More Mexico – A Blissful Holiday Pt.3 Chichen Itza and Ik KilAfter the stop in Chicago (read that blog here), my main destination was Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsular in particular. I was hoping to experience some culture, some great food and of course a bit of the beach life as well. I was happy to find that it exceeded my expectations on all counts. To make […]
Read More Mexico – A blissful holiday Pt.1Taking the opportunity to explore is definitely one of my top priorities, so an open invitation down to Vancouver Island was the perfect chance to get a holiday from my holiday. Driving with a friend down to Vancouver was interesting, mostly thanks to the blizzard we drove through at night. Simply following the tracks left […]
Read More Vancouver and the Island – Pt. 1For a long time I have wanted to visit California, especially San Francisco and LA, mostly thanks to the Punk Rock band Rancid, who sing about the locations around their home a lot. So when my flight back to Canada went via this city, I couldn’t resist booking an extra long stopover and having a […]
Read More San Francisco – A Brief VisitSo, a trip the really didn’t go according to plan. A trip that took me into the US and (thankfully) back out again. A trip that decided my next home. A friend of mine was due to fly into Vancouver, and make her way over to Sun Peaks, but due to Visa issues, she got […]
Read More To Banff and Back Pt.1In 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 […]
