I will be spending the next year or two travelling through India, Nepal and Tibet. I depart from Ottawa January 31st flying to Bangalore in southern India.The next 5 months will be spent making my way north through india, than likely a few months in nepal and on to tibet for a couple more months. After that its back to nepal/india or maybe somewhere else. but that is a year away so no point worrying about it now. I will be documenting what I see as best I can through photos, film, and stories.

I plan to travel as unconventionally as possible and get right into the culture at ... read more

In search of culture we left the beaches of Lovina and headed on foot into the mountain to the south. We didn’t have to go far to leave the touristy little town of Lovina behind. We quickly realized that this part of Bali didn’t see that many tourists on foot, maybe they would spot the occasional foreigner flying by on a motor bike. The small one lane road headed straight into the foot hills which wasn’t much of an incline. After about an hour we came to the top of a ridge and had a beautiful view of the mountains on the coast to the west. We met a woman there cutting grass with a small hand scythe and had a quick conversation in Indonesian about the heat and where we were headed. She seemed relatively ... read more

After a few days in Jakarta it was time to move on. So we flew to bali. We have been in Bali now for maybe about a week. A couple days in Kuta (a boring beach town near the airport, popular for drinking and clubbing), 5 days in Ubud and today we arrived in the beach town of Lovina.On the second day in Ubud we did some cycling through the countryside and visited a few temples and sacred sites. On the third day we did a 10KM walk through some of the major archaeological sites around Ubud. We walked out of Ubud towards the village of Sala. Most of the way was down hill deep into ravines and then the strenuous climb up the other side. Arriving in Sala was a nice change, nice and ... read more

Recently we flew from Beijing to Singapore and caught a ferry to the island of Batam in Indonesia. Flights directly to Jakarta from beijing were pretty expensive so we figured we should just fly to Singapore and take a ferry to Jakarta via the island of Batam. Batam was a nice island, though we only stayed for one day before jumping onto a ship bound for Jakarta. The ferry ride was over night and lasted about 30 hours. We met a couple in their 70s who were on a biking trip all across Europe and Asia. They had biked most of the way from Scotland to Indonesia and were about to bike the length of Java to Bali. Amazing! In the end we ended up saving a couple hundred dollars each. We arrived in Jakarta In ... read more

After a few days in Jakarta it was time to move on. JP had found a job in Jakarta so his journey ended there, for now. We flew down to Bali, continuing our search for work. We have been in Bali now for maybe about a week. A couple days in Kuta (a boring beach town near the airport, popular for drinking and clubbing), 5 days in Ubud and today we arrived in the beach town of Lovina. On the second day in Ubud we did some cycling through the countryside and visited a few temples and sacred sites.

Hello everyone! This is my first entry on this site, I look forward to sharing your travel tales and hopefully you will enjoy mine.

Can't wait to read all the amazing stories that are uploaded here. I am currently living in Dongguan, Guang dong Province south China so most of my adventures will be in this area for now, after this I am heading toward Tibet, Nepal and India (that general Direction). I have had a few good adventures in the two months I have been here but I am only going to write about one specific adventure ... read more
