A to Z 2014: YOLO

{For the month of April I will be blogging alphabetically on the topic of travel tips.}

Yes, I know, that is such a lame title. The thing is, that's kind of the attitude one should have when going on adventures.

I'm feeding teh kitteh!!!

Looking back on any of the trips I've ever been on, I've never regretted the things we did. Even if it didn't go well, or was frustrating at the time, I'm glad to have had the experience. The only thing I ever regret are the things we didn't do. There's just so little time!

Ok, maybe you can't always do all the things but do as much as you can! I don't mean take stupid risks. I'm not advocating near-death experiences. It makes sense to me that if you're going to spend all that time and effort and money to fly around the world, you better get a lot out of it. Enjoy!

That time we stayed at a vineyard B&B in BC
And we drove to "Mile 0" of the TransCanada highway.
Ate a whole crab by myself at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco
Got a Vespa tour of Saigon
Learned to pull a perfect pint in Dublin
Found thousand year old high crosses in an Irish field
Came across the TARDIS in Cardiff
Drove a Beemer across Britain
Had dinner atop the CN tower
Had dinner atop the Marina Bay Sands
Walked around in temples in Siem Reap
Toured a silk factory and ate a silk worm
Had a picnic in Pompeii
Joined a photo shoot for a German magazine
Ate at the cafe Van Gogh made famous
Went to the spa in Andorra
Rode a camel in Morocco
Made friends with a monkey in Gibraltar
Climbed the bell tower in Bruges
Climbed the Duomo in Milan
Climbed the Eiffel Tower in Paris
Toured the Swiss Alps by train
Took a water taxi in Venice
Played with Da Vinci's inventions in Amboise

  1. Yes! Going on adventures is the best part of traveling. I've done some amazing things in my time in Asia that I credit to my partner who forced me to see the joy in stepping off the beaten trail. :)

  2. Wow, it looks like you had a lot of fun. Which you wouldn't have had if you didn't go for it. Nice post. And great pics.
