Have dreams, will travel.
As you learned from my last post, I had been in Ireland. When I left for Ireland COVID-19 was mainly in China and Italy with few cases in Canada and elsewhere. Clearly that changed at break-neck speed. All things changed. In the end I cut my trip short, arriving back in Canada the day before... Continue Reading →
Hello! I am back in Ireland for the third time. It has been good to be back. I arrived just over a week ago in Dublin. I spent a few days there and then headed up to Belfast in Northern Ireland. Currently I am in Cork, which is my first time here. In a few... Continue Reading →

The small yet beautiful Central American country of Costa Rica is a popular destination for many travelers. It is a place that I myself want to visit one day soon. It is not just the beaches that draw people to this tropical gem. Much of the land there is protected, in fact 25% of it... Continue Reading →
Walking the Camino de Santiago across the north of Spain is no easy feat. Walking for hours on end can be tiring among other things (yet so very rewarding, in my opinion). There is much to consider. Everything from time of year to go, how far you will walk, should you do it on your... Continue Reading →

Think Niagara Falls (Canada & USA), Iguazú Falls (Brazil & Argentina), Angel Falls (Venezuela), and Victoria Falls (Zambia & Zimbabwe). Although Athabasca Falls, located in... Continue Reading →
