2011 - Year of the VACATION

Its back! The idea of a vacation has been brushed aside over the last few year, with 2010 being deemed the Year of the STAYcation.

But 2011 is bringing it back and if you are game, as mentioned in the blog below, this could be the year to take the trip of a lifetime.

Have I ever mentioned that Beach Travellers go to Bali, Brazil, Costa Rica and Thailand?

Who is Tiny?

Spunky, outspoken, adventurous & travel addicted vegan gal. I have a passion for the great outdoors, meeting new people, trying new things. I am a book & music junkie & take continuous steps to open my mind & participate in further education.

I have road tripped across Canada, visited almost ever US State, soaked up the sun & culture of the Caribbean isles, sought out my roots in the British Isles & backpacked my way through Western Europe. I have recently returned from four months on the road where I experience so may amazing things including working on a farm in northern Namibia, camping with the San Bushmen of the Kalahari, exploring the waterways Okavango Delta, white water rafting down the mighty Zambezi River, hiking up Table Mountain, skydiving over Mossel Bay, getting lost in Bangkok, snorkelling the coral reefs of Kho Lipe, reading on the beaches of Kho Pha Nang, bathing elephants in Kanchanaburi, basking in the awe of Angkor Wat, becoming conscious the misery of the Killing Fields, learning to ride a moto in Saigon, having clothes tailored in Hoi An, giving morning alms in Luang Prabang, taking the slow boat up the Mekong River, hanging out with hippies in Chiang Rai & learning the art of Thai Massage in Chiang Mai.

I hope to continue exploring the world, to help others do the same in a way that leaves no footprint.

I am an honors graduate of the Travel & Tourism Diploma Program at the Canadian Tourism College and work in Sales and Customer Service for the Vancouver based tour company Beach Travellers

Words of the Wise

“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” – Jack Kerouac

“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” - Oscar Wilde

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine

“Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty-his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.” – Aldous Huxley

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln
