So Ewan and I have been back in Canada for over 100 days (how did that happen!?). We get asked a lot how we’re doing and the adjustment back to a non-travelling life. The truth is, it’s hard to say and it’s been a completely different experience for both of us. Ewan was back at…
Having been back about a month from our trip one thing I find myself missing is exploring new cities and discovering great street art. Since the year is coming to an end I thought it would be a fitting time to do a quick photo review. Here are some of my favourite pieces we happened…
Once upon a time, we had a desire in our bellies to feed our travellust, a hunger that needed more than the standard three week vacation could satisfy. And then, we had an epiphany. We can work towards our goal. We can make it happen. It will take time and hard work, but we can…
Our last post was strictly numbers about our trip, but it didn’t really cover what our favourite places were. We’ve had this question a lot since coming back so we thought we’d address it. ‘Favourite place’ can mean a lot; a sight, city, or even a whole country. Here are our top five places (each)…
We traveled for 317 days (slightly less than we’d anticipated merely because there was the guarantee of a job for Ewan back home). So what exactly did we accomplish over that period of time? We visited 16 countries that we’d never seen before as well as returning to a couple from previous travels. We saw…
Holy crap. We have ten sleeps left and then we will be commencing our journey home, back to Toronto. In some ways it feels as though it was just a couple of weeks ago that we left an icy-cold Toronto to jet to the warm welcome of Mexico. But then when we think about some…
We waltzed at a break neck speed (compared to the rest of our travels this year) through Europe. One of the main take-aways from our time in Eastern Europe was that we love room escape games. The premise: you are locked in a room that has all the tools you need to get out of…
Hello. This is a Ewan here, finally got my act together, I’ve been meaning to post about the World Cup for a while now. Like any good Canadian, I’m a huge hockey fan (go Flames!), but I grew up playing soccer. I was a mediocre to average goal keeper for most of my youth. As…
Okay, well not too different. We are still traveling folks. But Elvis has left the building, or rather, E-double has left South America. We are North of the Equator. What is this humidity and heat?! But I am getting ahead of myself. We are mere days away from ringing in six months on the road.…
Folks, we’ve bussed all over South America (with another month to go). There have been painless experiences, excruciating legs and even a few surprises and delights. Based on our experiences (as well as our time in Mexico), and probably a reflection of how we prefer to travel, here is what we would suggest to our…
