Traveling to Peru to see Machu Picchu is a dream come true for most people. For the longest time, the number one place I’ve always wanted to see in the world is Machu Picchu. I learned about this amazing place back when I was in Grade 6 social studies and ever since then, I’ve…

Probably the most beautiful city I have ever seen during my one year trip around the world. La Paz Bolivia is a sight to behold. A city built in a huge bowl of land, it’s a spectacular sight. Like all things beautiful lies a hidden danger. Sitting at 11,942 feet (or 3,640m above sea…
I was really unsure about traveling to Komodo Dragon Island because the distance is just so far away compared to the other Seven Wonders of Nature. Regardless, it was my last stop in the Asia region and wanted to get it done it. Little did I know I was about to go on an…

Going to Table Mountain in Cape Town South Africa has been a dream of mine for a long time. Long ago when Karen and myself just started dating, we were looking at a picture of a girl sitting on a rock on top of a mountain. We later found out she was sitting on…
The Cradle of Humankind is the perfect place to visit for all you science nerds out there. Located north west of Johannesburg, the Cradle of Humankind is one of my favourite place I visited while in South Africa. This UNESCO world heritage site contains the history of how humans came to be. How we…
