It was GrØd
I went to Copenhagen and now half of what was in my bank account is gone. Mind you, I did eat out every meal so that’s maybe why but you can never be too certain. Copenhagen is clean, small and how do I best put this? Well-to-do. I arrived late on a Thursday and had an…

That time in India when everyone saw my butt
Telling a good story is all about how well you deliver it. I assure you, I do not deliver. But keep reading regardless because it’s about me humiliating myself which is always a treat. I went to India about seven years ago which is as long as it has taken me to get over this…

Can you call it a bed if it’s the ground?
There are many different options when booking accommodation. I am now ole Miss Fancy Pants (when I decide to put on pants) so I prefer to stay in a hotel. Don’t hate. Apart from Couch Surfing, I have pretty much stayed in every possible type of lodging. I have slept in multiple airports, overnight trains,…

Put a Lid on It
I don’t do sit-ups, I do sit- downs and I stay down for 2-3 episodes. Exercise to me is crunching (leaning forward) to get my cup of tea. Or arm extensions (opening the fridge). So you can understand my frustration when I am forced to squat especially after I pay 25 cents. I am talking…

The Bed Bugs Bite
After nine years of travel, it unfortunately happened. When we booked our accommodation, Troy opted to splurge on a small cabin with two single beds on opposite sides of the room instead of a cozy, plastic tent (obviously my cheap-ass’- preference) at the Venice camping site we chose. Even though I insisted that plastic tents…

Taipei in a Day
I was getting comfy in my China Airlines seat perusing through the movie selection when the screen turns to the image of that map… the one with the insanely disproportionate plane which is larger than Russia. I studied it briefly. Hmmmm apparently I was making a stopover in Taiwan… for 13 hours. Where is Taiwan…

Now That You’re Poor…
So you’re in that classic situation where you’ve just spent all your hard-earned money on travelling and now you’ve come back home, completely broke. I am sure some a**hole has recently made some stupid comment to you, about how “life experiences can’t pay the rent”. Hopefully, your travels have matured you enough and you’ve refrained…

Home is Where Your Backpack is
The glorious backpack; it is your customized version of the Swiss Army Knife. You decided what is important. Two pairs of underwear or three? Bring your razor or maybe it is time for your wild ape-man to emerge? Deodorant or natural odour? Every section has been stuffed, every pocket is packed, and every crevice is…

HoJo is a NoGo
West Edmonton Mall has been regarded as the gem of Alberta. Accurately, I would say it is of the copper pyrite variety. The golden mineral, once you spot it, often causes screams of sheer joy to escape your mouth. It is usually followed by you pushing or “repositioning” children out of your way. This opens…

Chlorine Clean
For those of you who consider “swimming in the ocean” and “shower” synonymous-read on. For those of you who read the previous statement with a scowl and thought “there aren’t actually people who think that way”- stop reading and take your judgmental attitude elsewhere. After five days of camping your normal tantalizing musk may not…
