Have dreams, will travel.
In the last Sunday Special the focus was Pic Paradis Mountain in the Caribbean's Saint Martin/Sint Maarten island. Today we're heading closer to home, well my home of Vancouver that is, to Whistler, BC. This small yet popular municipality is home to Whistler - Blackcomb Ski Resort and is a haven for outdoor sport enthusiasts.... Continue Reading →
Long Distance Walks in the World Got an itch to get out and go for a long walk? And by "long walk" I mean a really LONG walk. From centuries old routes to newly minted tracks there is no lack of places to wander on foot in this world. Many trails have been experiencing a... Continue Reading →
Venturing out into Greater Vancouver increases the options for walking and hiking. Greater Vancouver is made up of several cities so transit is often an option. Otherwise you can reach them by vehicle, or even cycling. As in Part 1, this list is not exhaustive nor have I been to all of them. For more... Continue Reading →
Vancouver, BC has been my home for a number of years. I fell in love with it during a visit long ago and subsequently moved here. Since then my relationship with Van City has fluctuated. I have been loyal and loving towards it and then swung to the other end, hating it even. In my... Continue Reading →
Greater Vancouver has plenty of places to get outside to take in nature and get moving. They range from easy to challenging and of course everything in between. I’ll be making a couple posts about where to take to the trails soon. Until then I will share some of the photos I took several weeks... Continue Reading →

During this time of the COVID-19 I will periodically post about my recent travels and travel ideas. Take care, stay safe, stay inside. During my most recent trip to Ireland I was keen to meander along the Bray Head Cliff Walk, also known as the Bray - Greystones Cliff Walk. It was the name that... 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 →
Hello! I know it has been some time since I wrote a post. I haven't even had a Sunday Special uploaded. I apologize for that. I have been preoccupied with my next adventure, to be honest. I could have written about it before but, well, I didn't (sheepish look). All that aside, onto adventure! I... Continue Reading →
Wandering about to seek out street art is something I enjoy. Meandering at my own pace, nipping in and out of side streets and alleyways, combing out images made by modern-day artists. Some are weathered and show signs of age, others are large, looming, and full of life. Odd, beautiful, quirky, bold, comedic, sad, vibrant... Continue Reading →
Life is a series of events and moments over a period a lifetime. For many of us, should we be so lucky, that lifetime is one of decades upon decades. Much of those moments are nondescript and fairly ordinary. Same same. Then we have times of wonderment, thrill, adventure and awe. Moments of laughter, bliss,... Continue Reading →
