Another Blog on the difference between a Traveller and a Tourist.

Quite often when reading blogs or travel articles, I find a favourite subject to be, "How to differentiate between a "Tourist" and a "Traveller". I have never liked nor have I agreed with this distinction (until today). I have always taken it personally as I tend to travel in many different ways and really do enjoy visiting many of the world's main attractions. Tons of people visit The Taj Mahal, Machu Pichu or the Great Wall of China and for a very good reason! ...

You are going where???..... My Trip to Colombia

I don't even know where to begin with my assessment of Colombia as a country. I saw only a small part of it and I had preconceived notions as to how people conducted themselves. The precautions that I was told to take were severe and controlled my perception of the country.

These precautions made my first few ...

Comfortable Introduction - Four Points by Sheraton Barranquilla Colombia

I always find that when I have a long day of travelling to a country that is extremely different from my own, I find comfort in staying the first night at a hotel that is of similar standards that I am accustomed to.

I love locally run boutique hotels! They are always my preference and 1st choice if available. I even don't mind a hostel or two thrown in but I do find comfort in that 1st night at a modern hotel after the chaos of several airports and the cultu...

CURACAO - A "different" Island Destination

Are you looking for something a little different from the traditional "All Inclusive" vacation south?

A southern Caribbean Island with European Flare. It is the largest of the ABC Islands and along with Aruba is a constituent country of the Netherlands. If you have a look at the architecture in Wilemstad, you can see the dutch influence as plain as day. (Tall and skinny buildings)

Eating on Oahu Hawaii: Our top picks

On March 1, 2015 Rich and I hopped a cheap flight to Oahu, Hawaii for a nice week away.
Hawaii was not on the top of my list but that is for another Blog but we fell in love with it and can't wait to go back!

While Hawaii surprised us in many ways, there were a few things that were not suprising.
The first being the cost of food and the quality of food.

Food is expensive there in relation to what we pay here but I found that in Vega...

A Day Trip to Toronto: Ripleys Aquarium

Sometimes I am so busy dreaming of all the amazing places across the country and the world I tend to forget what we have so close to home.

The other day, Rich and I had to venture in to Toronto for a work related matter (which was amazing!) and decided to make a day of it.

After our meeting was through, we decide to venture a few blocks over to do a little shopping (adventure travel related of course) and check out the TIFF situation. I am not one to get star ...

Sights, Smells and Sounds: India

I was pretty excited when I saw at the beginning of the month that On The Go Tours was offering select India tours as part of a 2 for 1 offering!

In 2013, I was fortunate enough to travel with Intrepid Travel to New Delhi, India and tour The Golden Triangle. It was most definitely a trip that changed my life!

Quite often people are astounded at my love for India and wonder what it is that I love about it. I feel that it is an amazing intens...
