Well in a few hours my sister and I will be hopping the red-eye flight to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Even though I'm staying within my own country, it's a little weird. It's definitely far enough to be several countries away - more than 3600km between here and Halifax! I've been bitten hard... VERY HARD... by the travel bug, and even despite my obses...

Well i've avoided Writing a post trip update as my emotional state and feelings about being home have been rather negative. lately i've spent a lot of sleepless nights pondering life and coming up with some really deep and profound insight, only to have it fade away to the ever consistent rat-race, that i've re-entered. I guess I'll start with t...

It's 9:42 on a beautiful sunny Edmonton morning and I'm sitting in bed, laptop in its proper position, drinking coffee and getting this damn blog set up. I'm thinking maybe I should get up and start to pack, given I must leave in less than three hours. Ah what the hell, I'm mostly ready. I'm only going for three months. I'll finish this coffee f...

this morning i drove my mum to the airport. such a surreal experience, after all these years, to finally be the one staying put. the one who has regular everyday plans like hair appointments and lunch dates that extend past the departure date. seeing the view from the other side of the security gate glass, as someone you love places their carefu...

We went to the airport early to make sure we got decent seats (like emergency exit!) LOTS of leg room : ) & then once we got through Security we had to wait but then we waited and waited and waited.. luckily our flight was only delayed 2 1/2 hours so it wasn't that bad... we made ourselves at home with snacks, movie and chair beds! Even stil...

I woke up in the late afternoon and eventually found my way down to the gym for a workout. Phil and Elena were already there so I jumped on the bike and got started. I was surprised at just how much energy I had and how strong I felt. I managed quite a long set at increased weights and realized that my dedication was finally paying off. We chatt...

Alex: After 28 hours on a bus we arrived in Edmonton just in time for the Canada Day celebrations. What a way to be introduced to Greyhound - 28hrs on a bus. The characters are 'interesting' but it was actually better than flying because we stopped every few hours to stretch our legs and could look out of the window at the changing scenery. We s...

I sit and wait patiently as I have for several months now. I am ready for the pilgrimage without a tangibly definable Mecca to begin at any time. I feel this heavily upon me; it is time to leave, and yet I wait; for time to say my goodbyes - both the bitter ones and sweet ones; for the pesky money factor that I will need on this physical journey...

Just over a half a year ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to meet one of the most intriguing and loving individuals that I've met in a long time. Her name is Carmella (TravelPod original member: whereshegoes). We met while attending a music festival in Alberta. Ever since then, she has been telling me all about TravelPod and how it helps p...

I was hoping not to make another entry from Edmonton!! I promise we will be gone soon! As for emails, what would work best is if you leave your messages in the "guest book" portion of this site. When you send an email to us it goes directly to my hotmail...this way if it is in the guest book, we can both read it.... what ever works best for you ...
