My Unexpected Nearly Missed & Missed Connections

I personally find January to be a difficult month, because usually, winter has long since worn out its welcome. At this point, I just want it to be over already. But I know that winter has not yet released Canada from its icy grip, so I start dreaming of going on a vacation somewhere tropical. […]

My Thrilling Heliskiing Trip with Friends

Downhill skiing is a particularly fun activity! There are a few ways the skier can get up to the top. He can choose to ride infrastructure to transport him up the mountain. Should he choose that method, then he does not have to work too hard to get up to the top of the run. […]

Our Epic Journeys on the Old Telegraph Track

The Old Telegraph Track (the “Telly Track” in Aussie slang) is what’s left of the original telegraph track that was created in the 1880s to connect Cairns with Thursday Island. It has become one of Australia’s best 4WD tracks. The Old Telegraph Track is a 350km (700km round trip) rough 4-wheel drive track that passes through […]

My Amazing Week Diving on the Spirit of Freedom

With a splash, I stepped off the stern of the Spirit of Freedom, into the pitch-black ocean. I had my diving “wing” (a type of buoyancy compensator) filled with air, so I bobbed on the surface until my dive buddies and our Divemaster joined me. Once we were all together and ready, we turned on […]

Throwback to Our Unforgettable Honeymoon in Cuba

How did we pick Cuba for our honeymoon? Well, we wanted to go somewhere that was new for both of us. I liked the symbolism because we were embarking together on a new chapter of our lives. We got married in July 2018 in a beautiful little country church, that turned 100 years old that […]

My First Scuba Diving Trip – to Mexico

Ten years ago I joined my friends Mike & Larry (they’re brothers) on a week-long vacation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. One of our main purposes was to do some scuba diving and escape the long winter we’d endured. Over the course of our trip, we had some memorable adventures, and we weathered a couple […]

Spectacular Night Photography in Canada

Up until now, I have stuck to one story, or one segment of a trip, per post. With this one, I want to do something a little differently, for a couple of reasons. First, I have multiple small stories I want to tell you, but none of them are big enough on their own for […]
