Skiing Kicking Horse Resort in Golden, British Columbia

Greetings from Golden, I’ve had a lot of good days on this crazy trip around the world but today was just bliss. Skiing Kicking Horse Resort aka the “Champagne Capital of Canada” in Golden, British Columbia was awesome; living up to the hype AND MORE. The scenery from the peaks is just unreal and the mountain is the 4th longest vertical of any resort in North America. The snow was awesome and the...

White Water Rafting on the Pacuare River, Costa Rica

Greetings, While I was in Costa Rica with the Gift of Happiness Campaign I had the distinct pleasure of white water rafting on the Pacuare River. I filmed this video and it turned out better than I had hoped for. I`m new to this whole `video game`and by no means consider myself an editor in any stretch of the sense. We battled Class III & IV rapids with ease and grace or so I say to save face. If...

Digging & Exploring Caves, Castles & Cuisine in Israel

Good day, I’m currently writing this from Le Meridien David in The Dead Sea as a warm salty breeze enters through my open patio door. We checked in at 10PM and were informed that the pool filled with salted water from the Dead Sea as well as some hot tubs and a massage service was open until 11PM, score. The pool was great and as I thought one hot tub wasn’t warm enough, this portly masseuse...

Thinking of an Indefinite Trip Around the World!? Read this First!

Good day, I’ve been thinking lately of what I wish I knew before I left on an indefinite trip around the world. An indefinite trip is infinitely different than taking an extended trip. The one, you have something to fall back on while the other is nothing but free fall and hope you’re not a chicken but an eagle to catch some lift and glide your way around the globe… How much cash do you...

Catching a Chinook Salmon in the Kitimat River, BC

Greetings, This is a video of yours truly pulling in a decent sized Chinook Salmon from the Kitimat River BC. This fish took about a minute to get in, the one I lost was a 15 minute battle before he won. The Chinook fights like no other fish I’ve ever had on the line. The photo from my last fishing update was a Chum and it fought 1/5th as hard as a Chinook. Straight up, if you go nuts and catch a...

Helicopter Tour of Cape Town, South Africa VLOG

Good day, Taking a helicopter tour of Cape Town, South Africa the other day was probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever done and it came as a complete surprise! After visiting Robben Island, it was time for sushi at Willoughby & Co. aka “Fine Purveyors of Sea Food” and we basically went to town, ordering everything that lived in the sea and more. If you follow this blog, you...

Camping Safari in Lake Manyara, Tanzania

Greetings, As some of you know, went on a camping safari in Lake Manyara the other day. It was a grand eye opening experience and one of those things I shall never forget. We drove from Arusha about 2.5 hours to Lake Manyara National Park. Once we arrived we drove about 50KM into the bush and settled at a camp site near the edge of the lake. It cost ~$30 to get into the park and $30 to camp which...

175KM Tuk Tuk From Kandy to Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka

Good day, I write this from Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. Today was one of those days on a trip around the world that is just a comedy of errors. It started in Kandy and lead us here. From a western perspective, this country could be considered overwhelming by many. I’ve been in this type of environment a while and find it endearing. Kandy is a magical place where Sri Lankan people skip through fields of...
