I’ve been flying a lot recently, mostly within North America with a sprinkle of oceanic flights here and there. I mainly fly solo, but on a recent work trip my wife was able to join me, and when that happens we like to make the best of things. And by […]

Making Predictions a Reality in Europe
Europe was never really on my bucket list. Actually, I don’t even have a bucket list. Sometimes I do something then think to myself “hmm, that should’ve been on some sort of list of things I’d like to do before I die”. And oddly enough, the cover of my book; […]
The Most Unique New York Experience You’ll Ever…Experience!
Empire State Building. Central Park. Time Square. Yankee Stadium. Broadway. Statue of Liberty. Brooklyn Bridge. Wall Street. You’ll probably hit some, if not all of those major New York City attractions should you visit The Big Apple. And you’ll probably get family and friends tell you to ‘go here’, or […]
4 Perfect Gifts for a Minimalist
As we wound down our time in Vancouver we crammed a lot of activities in – mostly beach days. On our last beach day my friend and host of epic proportions said; “I wanted to get you guys something great, then I thought of how light you travel so then […]
Life is an Experience – So Make it a Memorable Experience!
This past week we had the opportunity to speak at the AGM of Credit Counselling Canada. We talked about debt, how we overcame it, and how we now live a life with less and promote spending money on experiences instead of stuff. And what do you think we did immediately […]
Did You Know Vancouver Island is a Giant Piece of Swiss Cheese?
I’ve experienced a lot in my life, granted, not as much as many other people, but I’d like to think I’ve had some good times and fun experiences. After surfing for the first, second, and even third time, I never came out of the water thinking; OMFG, that was so […]
Don’t Let Weather Affect Your Life Experiences!
The weather has taken a turn for the better here in Vancouver town, and it’s been nice to get out and do some things again. Sure, it still rains a few times a week (usually more), and there are always clouds (which help contribute to some amazing sunsets), but that’s what […]
Why Did I Stop Watching Sports? What Happened? I Used to Know Every Stat Possible!
The Super Bowl has come and gone, the water-cooler discussions have shifted to the commercials and half-time show, and by mid-week we’ll all have forgotten about one of the most watched sporting events of the year and all the story lines it provided. I was your typical kid growing up, I […]
Creating Christmas Memories Without All That Stuff
As I type this out I’m watching the snow fall in downtown Vancouver, with 20 centimetres expected to fall in a city that doesn’t often receive snow. Across the street is a boot store with window-painted drawings of a snowman, a wreath, and a scrawling of Seasons Greetings. Christmas songs are […]
Can Food and Drink Experiences Also Be Life Experiences?
I’m not going to lie, making dinner isn’t always fun for me. I’m a sandwich guy! It’s not that I enjoy making them, although I sort of do because it’s almost therapeutic at times, and somewhat mindless, which is probably why I’m so fricken awesome at making them. And I know […]
