The best holiday destinations and travel ideas!
One of the best travel concepts I have discovered is, without a doubt, Flytographer. If you are a regular reader of my blog (or indeed follow some of my adventures via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram), you will notice that sometimes, I will have photographs from a trip that are clearly better than others. Why? …
Since the doors of Olonana opened in 1999, Sanctuary Retreats has piqued the interest of adventure seekers and discerning travelers alike with their portfolio of wilderness lodges and camps. Herein, we delve deeper into the experiences guests can expect during a stay at one of our featured Sanctuary properties.
I’ve always been under the impression that the season changes on the 21st of a given month, so I was surprised upon Googling “first day of fall” the other day to learn that it, well, falls on September 23. Of course, it certainly doesn’t feel like fall yet here in central Texas. Indeed, in my experience, most of the country doesn’t really start experiencing fall weather until early October, which is why I’m of the opinion that there are still one…
Leenan Beach in Donegal, along the Wild Atlantic Way/Flickr/Greg Clarke While Dublin’s museums, beautiful Georgian doorways, and craft beer scene could certainly fill an entire trip, we can think of some good reasons to venture beyond Ireland’s capital city. Glistening lakes, rugged filming locations, and scenic coastal drives are just a few reasons to get out of town. Here, five weekend trips from Dublin worth the drive. For Surf & Spa: Sligo (under 250 kilometers, or 155 miles, from Dublin) Sligo, a surfing town on the northwest coast of Ireland, is just under a three-hour drive from Dublin…
This post talks about a certain wildlife safari in Kenya. There’s a video at the end so if you’re a fan of moving pictures, hop straight down there to enjoy! Cheers – Abi Wildlife Safari in Kenya: The Lion King Effect Hakuna Matata. It’s a wonderful phrase. One I first heard, as many did, over twenty years ago through the songs and sounds of The Lion King. In the same way that I adopted E.T, so my younger brothers adopted Simba, the lead character in the Disney…
1Dad1Kid.com The longer we’re on the road, the more myths and common misconceptions about long-term travel we encounter. Sometimes I find myself countering my own previously held ideas, but most often I see or hear things mentioned that make me either roll my eyes or painfully bite my tongue. Time to dispel some of those. Of course, some of these apply to short-term travel as well. Travel is Unsafe I think this has to be the most common misconception I hear and read, especially…
Categories: Best OfTravelingImage: It might seem an unlikely place for cultures to meet and for tradition to endure — and for both of those things to happen along side each other — yet such things occur on Cape Breton Island. They have been happening for centuries, as waves of Gaels from Scotland’s Highlands and Western Isles met up with First Nations people, with emigrants from…
Greetings, Today marks six years that I’ve been living internationally. I’d say it has been six years of traveling but that wouldn’t be the case, I haven’t been “on the road” for six years . I’ve actually just finished building my first home on a small Caribbean Island called Little Corn off the coast of Nicaragua. I just can’t believe it has been six years since I left Ottawa, six incredibly fast years that I’ve woken up and my day has predominantly been filled with whatever I so …
Hopewell Rocks and the Bay of Fundy If you find yourself traveling to New Brunswick there’s one place you MUST visit – the Hopewell Rocks and the Bay of Fundy. The reason you want to visit the Hopewell Rocks is to witness the world’s highest tides and walk on the exposed ocean floor at low tide. Every day, twice a day, the tides flow in and out of the …
We traveled to Swedish Lapland in hopes of seeing and photographing the Northern Lights. But, since there was no guarantee we would see the Northern Lights, we decided to also plan some exciting outdoor winter activities so if our search for the Northern Lights was unsuccessful, we’d still have a great adventure trying some other once-in-a-lifetime experiences during our visit to northern Sweden. (Be sure to watch the video of all four of our winter outdoor activities at the end …
There’s nothing better than visiting a great, world-class museum, whether it’s history, art or culture they’re a big part of the travel experience for many of us. In addition to those mega-museums though, I also search out the small and quirky, the unusual museums that many people seem to ignore, but which I believe are just as important as the big institutions. They share certain niches or subjects that may not always get as much attention as others, …
It’s being said more and more these days that Asia is giving Vegas a run for its money (quite literally) when it comes to great casinos and trips around gambling. Obviously, it’s a pretty big place, so to summarise the best spots can be quite difficult. Instead, we thought we’d put together some tips for a great casino holiday in Asia, to help you on your way to having the trip…
The start of the NFL season is less than two months away, and although we’ll be sad to see summer go, we can’t wait for the opening kickoff. (And hopefully, the end of all the #deflategate talk.) Anyway, Boeing is ready for the season sooner than most, and once again they’re trussing up one of their birds with some football-inspired flair. The fine folks…

Sergio picks us up in 10 min and we’ll be headed out for our first day on skis at the base of Lonquimay.
Although Reykjavik is often considered its own arctic destination, Iceland’s capital on the coast also serves as an exciting point of embarkation or disembarkation. As a part of many of Quark’s arctic expeditions, you may be fortunate to have a Reykjavik layover as part of your Icelandic cruise. If you find yourself in this city of delightful contrasts, consider one of these activities to

We had always thought that you had to see the polar bears of Churchill, Manitoba in the winter. We had visions of massive buggies crossing the white tundra landscape in search of the great polar bear. We never thought of walking with polar bears. Can you imagine walking with this guy? Everyone knows that the polar bear is a dangerous bear and one of the few animals on earth that has actually been known to stalk humans. In other words, you should stay away from polar bears. So when we heard we’d be walking with Polar Bears on this …
According to our friends at CupoNation, a lot of people don’t believe it’s possible to plan a spur of the moment trip to take advantage of a hotel or flight sale. What is impossible about it? All you need to do is bite the bullet, close your eyes, click ‘purchase’ and the whirlwind of the adventure begins! For Moss and I, our…
Daniel Woods on the “High Ball” Boulder problem the Process, Bishop, California; Photograph by MAX KRIMMER The old saying that if there’s no camera, it didn’t happen, is especially true for climbing. Unlike traditional sports, in climbing there are no stadiums filled with a cheering audience, and “playing fields” are located in mountain wildernesses. “The big challenge for us has been to capture these incredible accomplishments …
