Question Hi, Just wanna ask :
your trip from Blaine to Stanwood, Stanwood to Lynnwood, and from Lynnwood to Seattle.
Do you have to stay in the same bus terminal or exchanges to get into your next bus, or you have to walk somewhere to catch your next bus? If in the same terminal exchange, so that means I just have to look for the bay station around the terminal?
I am not trying that but good for you! I am definetly not going to do that, but holy mol~ that is crazy! I drive 3.5 hrs down and it cost about 50 dollars if you consider gas, engine and all that!
But interasting, I like it!
legendary You are a machine. What a great idea - and good on you for seeing it through. I initially came to this site with the intention of finding a quick, but cheap trip to SeaTac from Vancouver - but this won't quite work! But still very enjoyable to read about your adventure.
haha I've done this before as well! I had 6 hours to get from bellingham to seattle for a flight and figured Id just take every public transportation i could find. I did it without planning even. just asked every bus driver for best way to get towards seattle! i loved it
Now that the LTTE has been knocked off, the security road blocks have slowly gone away which makes travel that much easier. You get a real sense of calm on everyones face. Nice info.
you are an inspiration to budget travellers, especially since seattle-vancouver trips can be so expensive! you are AMAZING.
btw i'm from singapore too :)
Haha. I thought it was funny you need that many layers of clothing for -10 degrees Celcius!! And were still cold?!?
I've visited Edmonton twice, and absolutely loved the mall. I stayed overnight at the Fantasy Hotel and still have yet to make it around the entire mall. (Recommendations on the Polonisian Themed room).
I hope the rest of your adventures went well!!
thanks for the info This is probably quite useful for people who have time on their hands, want to see smaller towns in Washington State , are interested in aircraft construction and aren`t afraid of walking from Surrey Central to Newton in the middle of the night. (Surrey has the highest crime rate in Canada).
I think it`s great that you attempted this and had a good experience! You`re an adventurer at heart.
You live in Singapore now? I just migrated to Vancouver from Singapore and I'm going to UBC next year. It would've been nice to know you when you were in Vancouver. Your adventure sounds fun!I would like to try that someday *grins*
hahahahah, I just moved FROM edmonton. It's an ok city, but I never really thought people visited it! hahaha. I definitely laughed at all the clothes you were wearing at -10. I have to say, that was a bit extreme. no need to layer up at that warm a temp ;o)
You are Cheap Man, you are the cheapest guy that I think there is possible. Glad you shared it though. Now I can compare you to my boyfriend and make him feel good.
OK Now if you got yourself a part-time job so you can afford to pay transport just like everybody else, you would have save yourself a ton of sweat and pain from walking. Just imagine if you wasted your time working and make real money, instead you wasted your time walking and earn nothing but a lot of pain from waiting and walking not to mention burning calories that cost you money to put it in your stomach. What the hell did you learn from UBC?
Edmonton I too have lived in Edmonton nearly all of my life. It's interesting to hear the things that people find interesting.
It's unfortunate I hadn't seen this much sooner, I would have recommended a tour of the Muttart Conservatory. 4 glass pyramids in the valley....each has a different theme, and oodles of plants/birds etc.
Very beautiful and serene.

Over 700 species of plants.....if you're into that sort of thing.
holy moly wow, that is so cool. i'm in vancouver, b.c. i have family in everet and in linwood. and i don't have a car !!! have travelled by greyhound and also the shuttle that goes from via rail station in vancouver to downtown seattle.
i don't have a ubc bus pass (mandatory now i think for you) but even so, the local bus fare is reasonable.
thanks for the long winded and oh, so detailed travel tips
Introduction of Edmonton to an Edmontonian Thank you very much for the nice comments of Edmonton. I have lived here for 36 years and still do, I guess I have taken it for granted, now I appreciate this city so much more through your eyes and your wonderful article. Come back soon.
edmonton looks amazing hiya thanks for your comments on edmonton, im planning on going there for a hoilday sometime this year or next year,and when do you think is the best time to go then? because if i go at winter it looks really cold so i might have to pack my warm clothes, so what time of the year is the best time to go then so i know what clothes to bring? also i enjoyed your pictures too
Born in Hong Kong and currently living in Singapore, I am a guy who loves travelling. Like many "travelholics" at TravelBlog, I'm so addicted to travelling that once I stopped travelling I will have withdrawal symptoms. Hence, to cure my addiction, I have to go somewhere at least once every 2 months. (I must admit that it is an expensive addiction. Haha. But at least addiction to travel is healthier than addiction to drugs/smoking/drinking...)
I started using TravelBlog when I was doing my internship in Canada in 2005. (For older photos before my Canadian internship... full info
