    Hiking the Mount Sunday Track in New Zealand to Edoras in Rohan

    February 22, 2025 /

    One does not simply visit New Zealand without hiking the Mount Sunday Track. Mount Sunday is the filming location of Edoras, the capital of Rohan in The Lord of the Rings.  The Mount Sunday Track is an easy 1.5 km hike to the top of Edoras. The beauty surrounding the rock is stunning. It’s easy to see why Peter Jackson chose this spot to film Edoras. **This post contains affiliate links.

    Hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing: One of the World’s Best Hikes

    February 10, 2025 /

    Considered to be one of the world’s best day hikes, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing in New Zealand is a spectacular yet challenging hike. Hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing offers stunning views of  volcanic landscapes, emerald lakes, and rugged terrain.  This 19.4 kilometer (12.1 miles) trek takes hikers through diverse landscapes from hiking at the base of Mt. Ngauruhoe to finishing the trek in lush forested areas. Trekking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing is no walk in the park. This post details our experience on one of New Zealand’s best hikes. I’ll go over the shuttle bus system, what to pack, and what to expect along the way.  **This post contains affiliate…

    Off the Beaten Path: Exploring Hanoi’s Countryside on a Motorbike

    September 26, 2023 /

    Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam is known as a chaotic yet beautiful city. The sound of horns honking, millions of mopeds, and crowds of people everywhere, why not escape the city to the countryside and experience a different side of Hanoi. One of the best ways to explore Hanoi’s countryside is on a motorbike. Experience what being on a motorbike is really like through the chaotic streets of Hanoi before venturing into the countryside where small villages dot the landscape as you cruise through banana tree fields, pottery villages, and unique landscapes. Whether you are seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of Hanoi or just want to see what…

There are not a whole lot of big cities on this island and access to nature and beautiful scenery is easily within reach! Most visitors come to Hawaii’s Big Island for the volcanoes, but there is so much more to it, although I highly recommend spending a day at Volcanoes National Park, it was a highlight. Exploring the island by car opens up so many opportunities. Visitors can stop at some of the waterfalls, pull off and gaze out at the beautiful ocean and dramatic coastlines, or spend…

    San Ignacio, Belize

    December 31, 2020 /

    Adventure – To me, this is the one word that describes the country of Belize. Travelers come to Belize to experience an adventurous vacation whether it be exploring caves, hiking the jungles, taking a 4×4 expedition, or just tubing down rivers. Belize is a small country that makes up one of the eight countries in Central America. Belize is bordered by Mexico and Guatemala and English is the official language. You won’t find many Spanish Speaking people here like the other surrounding countries but many Belizeans speak creole which is a language that has been developed by mixing different languages into one. Belize is a relatively new country, at least…

    Cycling the Shimanami Kaido

    Since moving to Japan in 2019, Cycling the Shimanami Kaido has been high on my to-do list. Prior to moving here, I’ve never heard of the Shimanami Kaido cycle route, but as I started going to bike shops and talking to other cyclist, I started to hear more and more about Cycling the Shimanami Kaido.  The Shimanami Kaido is both an expressway for vehicles and route for cyclists that connects the cities of Onomichi on the main island of Honshu and Imabari on the island of Shikoku. The route crosses six smaller islands (Oshima, Hakatajima, Omishima, Ikuchijima, Innoshima, and Mukaishima) within the Seto Inland Sea. The cycle path is completely separate…
