  • 5 Tips for Surviving Camping with Allergies

    It’s unfortunate, but 1 in 3 Canadians suffer from seasonal allergies. It’s a tough time of year, with itchy, sneezing, coughing, generally “not feeling great at all” type of days. Some people report it more in the morning and night, others experience the nasty effects of allergies all day. When the outdoors attack your head, it…

  • The Wild Within: British, Columbia

    The Wild Within: British, Columbia

    Okay, so I’m a day late again on my Sunday Canadian Travel video series. But I have an excuse. I was woodcarving all Friday night and Saturday morning/afternoon. Once Sunday rolled around, I decided to have a lazy day and avoid my computer all together. I’m happy to have found this video though, and sharing it a…

  • Explore the Elements

    Explore the Elements

    It’s rare that I submit photos in these blog-style photo submission contests, but I like the concept of this one. On top of that, Dave from the Planet D is judging, and I think he’s the bee’s knees, so I figured what the heck. These photos were taken over the last few years during several…

  • Vice Presents Canada’s War On Weed

    Vice Presents Canada’s War On Weed

    I’ve always considered myself a bit of a libertarian. What you put into your body is between you and yourself, particularly when it’s a non-harmful substance that isn’t going to hurt anyone else. While I’m not a smoker myself, I have several friends who partake, and the topic of legalization has always intrigued me. With…

    I was away in British Columbia for the last 5 days enjoying some snowboarding, which unfortunately pushed my Sunday Canadian Travel Video back by a day. This week’s video features Daybi, one of Canada’s well known rap artists. Montreal film director Mathieu Favreau’s most recent video on Canadian rapper and media artist Daybi is a tribute…

It’s widely known, however, that despite strict alcohol laws, this territory suffers from some serious social problems. This week’s Sunday Canadian Travel Video is going to cover some of…

    American’s Trying Canadian Snacks For First Time

    It’s safe to say that Canada has some curious snacks and treats. From the sweet, the salty, to the eyebrow raising. American’s visiting Canada are often surprised that while we’re only a short drive away, that border is actually a gateway to a whole new world of food not available in America. The smart folks at Buzzfeed…

    Explore the Great Bear Rainforest in 4k

    I recently came across my new favourite video on youtube. This awe-inspiring video of British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest summarizes the beauty and pristine nature of this area. The Great Bear Rainforest spans 12,000 square miles (or 32,000 square km) of BC’s temperate rainforest. This part of Canada has been in the news quite a…

    How to Start a Wildly Successful Travel Blog

    Someone recently emailed me asking how to start a travel blog. They wanted to know, can you make money travel blogging? Is blogging a hobby or a career? What steps do I take to become successful? Which companies should I trust? I sometimes take for granted my years of experience in the blogging industry. While…
