And all of a sudden I was in Bali moments away from the initial day of my first ever workshop. Over the last two years, I have continually put myself into challenging situations, pushed myself into realms of uncertainty and for the most part I have come out the other side in good shape. If …
Waipo’o Falls Trail takes you through the Waimea Canyon and leads you to the epic-tiered Waipo’o Falls for a refreshing dip. The 3.6 miles out-and-back trail has three separate viewpoints and is great for all hiking abilities. I hiked all over Kauai for over a month and documented all of my adventures. In my opinion, these …
Life on the road seems like a blast and it is. I often have to stop and think what a normal life used to feel like. It’s been almost two years of continuous backpacking and that type of nonstop freedom has a certain effect on you. It blurs your outlook on life. You kind of …
My third week on Kauai was highlighted by a three-night stay at Koloa Landing Resort. I also linked up with some other photographers on the island and went on some more epic hikes. One of the hikes led me to a towering waterfall in the middle of the jungle and the other led me to the …
Each week on the road brings forth a new set of challenges. Those challenges are often slightly more uncomfortable when you refuse to pay for a $45 a night hostel and its pouring with rain all week. The generous couch surf hosts of Kauai had dried up after serving me well in the first week. …
For many, travel is a bi-annual vacation. It’s a promised land of fun, cocktails, palm-trees and lavish spending. It’s a reward for the hard yards put in at the office throughout the year. That’s how the majority of the world travels. But then there is us. The backpackers, the budget-travelers and those willing to seek …

We had the most epic sunset at Sigiriya Rock, which is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Sri Lanka. The elephant safari in Kaudulla National Park was …
After more than a year and a half, I found my way back on a plane to Oahu. It seemed like a lifetime ago that I was on Oahu, hiking my way around the island and enjoying all of the beautiful beaches. Here I was, stepping out of the airport at 630 am after a …

It’s the time of year where I collect my life possessions, pack my bags and set off for a year of adventures. This year my backpack weighed in at a respectable 12kgs, which is essentially everything I own. I always find it quite liberating to begin the year with a handful of possessions, packed orderly …
Well, what do you know! It was just another week on the road, hitting up the beaches along the east coast of Australia. I barely had much time to work ferociously on my blog as I sometimes do on the road. However, it was a monumental moment for the blog. I reached 200,000 monthly page …
There is a ton that goes on behind the scenes of a blog. There is boring stuff like search engine optimization and more interesting times like reaching out to a tourism board or brand to see if they want to collaborate. I reached out to a tourism board this week to see if they wanted …
