Bathroom, WC, loo, restroom, latrine, crapper, john, throne, whatever you call it, using a toilet can be quite an experience when you travel! I mean we have all heard horror stories of disgusting bathrooms, unusual set ups, or missing rolls of toilet paper, right? For us, this was never more true than when we were dealing with the bathrooms while driving a Tuk Tuk across India in the Rickshaw Run! Many of those were definitely not the best toilets in…
There is no doubt that camping or visiting a National Park is on the rise in recent years. Perhaps, it’s because we are finally learning about their hidden beauty and fun adventure activities.

The cramped office cubicles, hectic traffics, city noise, and monotony of routine life can be boring. That’s why most people look for ways to disconnect from this “programmed” life and get closer to nature. This is where jungle adventure comes in handy. Hiking and trekking through rugged and dense forests might sound enchanting. However, jungle life comes with danger and underlying risks. You’re likely to meet with dangerous creatures and unfavorable weather conditions. Having said that, you shouldn’t hold back…
Ask any old timer for advice on buying a boat, and one of three banalities you’re guaranteed to hear is. “Do you know what BOAT stands for? Bust out another thousand!” The proverb: “The best two days in the life of a boater are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.” And finally, there’s an investment tip of a lifetime: “Never buy a boat.” While for a long time this may have been sound advice, the…
I can still remember the excitement! It was Sunday night and my sister, parents, and I would set up the T.V. tables, turn on the Magical World of Disney, and sit down for dinner and a movie. Sometimes we would have leftover seafood from Friday night or other times my dad would make us “quesadilla sandwiches” and pop fresh popcorn. Occasionally, he would even grill up shish kabobs and make fresh hummus or baba ghanoush. But perhaps one of the…
Road trips are universally known to be a lot of fun. The open road, plenty of things to see and places to visit, and you can take the people you love the most along with you. It’s a very personal and intimate way to explore a country, and it’s a great way to take charge over your adventure – no public transport necessary here!

When I created my personal growth bucket list, I never had buying a house as part of my financial bucket list. Don’t get me wrong, I had always assumed that one day I would own a house. I guess it was just never a priority for me compared to other financial goals. This may be because I always considered myself somewhat nomadic. However, now that I am a married and a bit older, buying a house seems to be a…
