Walk On The Wild Side: Discover The Everglades National Park

It seems that every year, we hear more bad news about the demise of the world’s natural habitats. The words overpopulation, deforestation and extinction have become all too commonplace.

We had a chance to explore the Everglades a couple of years ago, and came out of our experience with a deeper understanding of the diversity and importance of wetlands around the world.

Dreaming Of The Panamanian Sun

As the snow threatens to fall, I’ve found myself dreaming of escaping to somewhere warm. Even for a short amount of time.

Preferably somewhere with unlimited fruity drinks, a great buffet and fun dancing. But where could we go? Even more importantly, how would we get there?

In the past we’ve traveled on every manner of plane, train and ship however we’ve never been on a cruise.

So a great cruise for us would be something just a little different…

Capturing Precious Fall Moments with the Canon EOS Rebel SL1

Now that we have our new Canon EOS Rebel SL1, we thought it would be a perfect chance to put this little DSLR camera through its paces. While falling in love with our new camera, we’ve visited a pumpkin patch and petting zoo with some friends and their kids, walked around the park by Okanagan Lake, hiked along Mission Creek, visited a few wineries and even just taken in the fall colors at our local playground. Come with us as we take a look at what this little beauty can do while capturing the fall beauty of beautiful British Columbia.

How To Travel For Free And Save The World: Crowdfunding

While traveling the world and visiting distant lands is a dream many of us have, it can feel completely unobtainable at times. Usually, the biggest stumbling block is money, or rather,  the lack of it. That’s where crowdfunding comes in. But why would a random stranger want to donate money towards your dream holiday of relaxing on the beach in a tropical paradise? Well, they probably wouldn’t. However, if you’re planning to do some genuine good for others on your trip, you just may be able to use crowdfunding to help fund your travels. Here are some ideas to get you started.
