When I was a fresh high-school graduate, I followed the status quo and picked a college program to jump into before I’d even really known what I wanted to do for a living. How can you know without experience? I jumped into a Police Foundations program, probably because I’d spent my life watching way too … Continue reading The Adventure of a Lifetime (Inspired by Christopher McCandless)
“He dozed off, into a dreamless oblivion, for what seemed like seconds but was in fact hours, and awoke hungover, the inner surface of his skull pulsing like a single, giant nerve being chewed by some ruminant animal.” ― Alex Shakar, Luminarium Mt. Victoria It was a warm, dark, late Summer night in Wellington, New Zealand. The … Continue reading One Memorable(ish) Night in Wellington, New Zealand
“How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?” ― Charles de Gaulle France Back in 2013, I was just finishing up my 2-year backpacking stint through Australasia and I was preparing to head back to Canada with my girlfriend at the time. It didn't end up being a great relationship, or even … Continue reading What I Learned Living in France for Two Months
“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” -Gustav Flaubert If any of you have been following me for a while, you may have noticed that I had covered my BC road-trip extensively in four posts during my very early blogging days. However, this blog has grown and … Continue reading Memories Of A Road Trip In British Columbia
A Collaborative Poem Written By Bhagyashree (InkandThoughts) and Mathew (Blog of the Wolf Boy) Out of a large, water-soaked windowpane, I heard the horizons calling, Calling me to a life full of quests. With winds and hues of joys, Where my heart won’t rip in pain, And my soul will dance in spree. Overjoyed, I … Continue reading Shall I Stay, or Shall I go – To Lands Unknown?
Arriving In Bangkok My trip didn't start well in Thailand, in fact, I don't suspect it could start off much worse then it did. If it had turned out any worse, I probably would have been making some sort of ransom call back home to Canada while tied to a chair in a dingy wet basement. … Continue reading I Spent Three Weeks In Thailand, And Here’s What I Learned
Australia, the land of red sands and poisonous animals. "How did you ever end up there?", You may be wondering. And the answer is, well, it wasn't a trip that I had planned! My original travel plan was to stay in New Zealand and work for a year then come home, but after 5 months … Continue reading What I’d Learned Backpacking In Australia
It was 2011 and I was fresh out of college, working in a shitty retail chain which rhymes with Mall Tart. I also didn't have much clue as to what to do for the rest of my life because I had studied Police Foundations for 2 years and then decided that it wasn't for me. So, I just saved as much money as I could in 7 months. Then I took off overseas on a Working Holiday Visa to live and play in New Zealand. It was the most daring moment of my young adult life because I had never done anything so adventurous before. There was a mix of both excitement and fear in me.
Back when I was in my early 20's, thanks to the Working Holiday Visas that most civilized countries offer to young people, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to live and work in one of the most unique countries in the world. The land down under, Australia.
Back when I was exploring New Zealand in 2011, the most adventurous thing that I had ever done was hike the Queen Charlotte Track with an Irish man, whom I had just met a few weeks prior. We went out to a track that runs 71km from the end of a highway, out towards the ocean through rolling hills surrounded by a sound (or seawater). It was probably the highlight of my backpacking experience, over those 2 years I spent abroad because I was feeling adventurous, but I knew not what the fuck I was doing and that will become apparent in the story to come!
