I love trav­el­ing to for­eign coun­tries and places. Each jour­ney has broad­ened my hori­zon more than any­thing else. After some time you start to re­alise that trav­el­ing cre­ates the kind of mem­o­ries that stay with you for a life­time. Stand­ing on the top of a moun­tain you just hiked, ex­plor­ing the nar­row city streets of an Ital­ian vil­lage and en­joy­ing the food wher­ever you go. A lot of this blog doc­u­ments places I went. Pho­tos can aid in re­mem­ber­ing even small de­tails about each trip, adding a bit of text to them fills in the blanks not caught on film. I used to think about blog­ging as some­thing I did for oth­ers to par­take in our jour­neys, but lately I re­alised that blog­ging makes sense even if you’re the only one read­ing the blog-posts later on.

For two of our big trips to Canada and the United States I cre­ated sep­a­rate blogs. You can find them here:

New Eng­land, Fall 2008

Our first big trip as a cou­ple. We flow to Boston and ex­plored a lot of New Eng­land as well as Que­bec, Mon­treal, and Toronto. This va­ca­tion would set the tone for our va­ca­tions: Lit­tle ad­vance plan­ning, rent­ing a car and see­ing a good mix of cities as well as beau­ti­ful land­scapes.

British Co­lum­bia & Al­berta, Fall 2012

Shortly after grad­u­at­ing from uni­ver­sity we went on va­ca­tion to the Cana­dian west coast. Van­cou­ver, Van­cou­ver Is­land, the Rock­ies and a lot of Na­tional Parks marked the high­lights of this trip.
