Three years ago I hit publish on the Journey Era blog. Little did I know, the moment my finger clicked that button would change my life forever. I was living on Oahu at the time, which is a tropical island in Hawaii. I was in the last semester of my journalism degree. Sitting in the …
It’s not every day you are invited to sail across the Philippines in a Catamaran so when VOPO asked Josh and I to join the maiden Philippines sailing voyage we were literally on board. The plan for the 10-day expedition was to begin in Batangas and sail through Romblon, Cebu and finish in Negros with …
Digital Nomad is a bit of a buzz-term. Those who flaunt the breakfast in the pool, Bali lifestyle are often (but not always) more show than dough, more walk than talk when it comes to their actual situation. The real digital nomads are often in a dark corner of their Airbnb hard at work while the …
Last week was my motorbike adventure to Bohol and I didn’t quite mention about how I got home. I woke on my final day in Bohol at 3 am and drove to Alicia. Here I met a local guide and we hiked up Binabaje Hills for sunrise. We then hiked back down and I jumped …
Coron is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. It was my third time returning to Coron but my first visit back since I started the Adventure Bag Movement. I decided to organize a quick clean-up of the most popular sunset spot on Coron, Mt. Tapyas. On the 17th of March, we met …
On a whim, I decided to head over to Bohol. I’d been in the ‘Boal’ for a couple of weeks and had thought about trips to Camiguin or Siquijor but in the end, it lined up perfectly to drive over to Bohol and join Jammy and Plastic Free Bohol for a clean-up collaboration. I was …
After a great cleanup last year in the Philippines at Budlaan Falls in Cebu City, it was again time to bring the Adventure Bag Crew to the Philippines. For this cleanup, I made the journey over Bohol on my motorbike to team up with Plastic Free Bohol. Plastic Free Bohol actually helped to inspire the …
This week has seen me chip away on so many fronts on the computer that I have spent more time sweating in the French Cafe than I have outside at the beach, which is only meters away. I always play the long game. That often means that a specific week can be a 5/10 but …
The Lombok field trip was a success but that was quickly in the past as I jumped into a day full of transits back to my apartment in Moalboal on Cebu, Philippines. I teamed up with Cebu Pacific for the flights, which was a handy little collaboration for the transit. From Bali, you need to fly …
Out on the east coast of Oahu, Alan Davis Beach is rarely spoken about among tourists but the locals flock here like crazy on the weekends. Hoards of school kids and beachgoers head to the secluded beach to jump in off the wooden planks. Several wooden boards have been wedged into the rock wall creating …
China Walls on Oahu, Hawaii is one of the best sunset spots on Oahu and a great hangout for during the day. It has two sides to it. On calm days, you can chill here, jump in for a swim, and tan on the rocks. On days with big swell, the waves crash into the …
The year of travel officially kicked off with my trip to Pulo Cinta in Sulawesi last week but now the real stuff begins for 2019. At 6 am the next morning after arriving back in Bali from Sulawesi, I linked up with Duncan from Classroom of Hope and a few other photographers to board the …
