- It’s England’s Most Beautiful Hike – and We Got it on Video
We’re back from our 10-day springtime hike in England and here’s the good news: Contrary to expectations, it did not rain every single day of the hike. - What’s New: We’re Sharing the Perfect Itinerary for a Month in Thailand
We hopped across beaches in the Gulf islands; headed north to Chiang Mai; and then ended our journey with the big city vibes of Bangkok. This adventure included all the classic Thailand highlights we could hope for. - The Perfect Itinerary for an Epic Adventure in Thailand
After visiting almost every country in Southeast Asia, we can easily say that Thailand was our favourite. We’d each been there over a dozen times and felt confident about coming up with the perfect itinerary. - Winter Escape to One of the World’s Most Vibrant Cities
While we love our new home in Ontario, we knew that once the cold and snow set in it would be time to take flight to sunnier climes. - The Very Last Chapter in our Four-Year, Around-the-World Adventure
The final year of our adventure kicked off in Medellin, a city that turned out to be one of our least favourite destinations. - My Most Challenging Trip Yet: Volunteering in a First Nations Community
Plus highlights from year three of nomad life - It’s Been Three Years of Full-Time Travel and Still Nothing Ever Goes to Plan
By the third year, you’d think that we would have gotten the hang of expecting the unexpected.
