Seattle is widely known for having one of the most famous skylines, captivating those lucky enough to gaze upon it. Standing head and shoulders above the rest is the iconic Space Needle, a sky-high observation deck that is as much an architectural marvel as a symbol closely associated with the city. However, there’s much more to Seattle than just the Space Needle, with countless buildings that will be sure to impress and awe. This article will take a high-altitude look at eight of the most iconic buildings in the Seattle area, which you’ll surely recognize from way above, each with its rich h ..read more

9 Years Ago Today

this random guy came up to me and said “smell my arm”. Looking back now, I realize that most people probably would have declined, or at least questioned such a demand. What an unusual thing to say to a stranger. But, I didn’t hesitate for a second, suddenly I was sniffing the sweater sleeve of this person that I’d never met before, and looked up to see him laughing. “Smells good, right?” It did. Something of a mix between faded cologne, laundry detergent, and fresh air. It makes no sense, and sounds like a line from a Hallmark movie, but if cozy had a scent, that would be it. — Throughout the ..read more

Exploring Petra by Donkey

I extended my leg and twirled my toes with a clockwise motion in a lame attempt to put some clear perspective between my foot and the distant ground below. It was useless. I had no idea how high up I was, I only knew that my legs were dangling over the edge of a cliff and I had nothing to keep me there but the clumsy old donkey that I was sitting on. I took a deep breath, gripped the small tuft of blankets in front of me and convinced myself that my trusty four-legged guide knew exactly what he was doing. After all, he wouldn’t throw himself off a cliff… would he? The walk through Petra‘s Si ..read more

Spending the Night at a Berber Camp in the Sahara Desert

Imagine lying alone on the desert floor, beneath a night sky obliterated with hundreds of thousands of fiery twinkling stars, feeling the cool pre-morning breeze brush against your face as you tuck yourself further into your blankets. You’re surrounded by sleeping bodies but virtually alone with no sound but the occasional grumble of a distant camel. After a camel trek through the alluring rosy-hued dunes I found myself ready to spend the night at a traditional Berber camp in the Moroccan Sahara desert.   Along with my other Busabout tour mates, I was directed to the charming Berber t ..read more

Visiting Jim Morrison’s Grave

I could probably go on for a good hour about how much I love Jim Morrison, but I’ll try to keep it short. Yes, I love The Doors (they are my favourite band), but it’s not really about the music, it’s about Jim’s poetry. I grew up listening to The Doors at a young age, because I would always borrow my dad’s cassettes, and eventually his CD’s. At the age of 11, he finally gave me my first Doors album and I listened to it continuously. I now own all 22 Doors albums, including anniversary specials, box sets, live recordings and essential rarities. At age 13 I purchased a copy of “t ..read more

The Moroccan Village Co-operative Experience

I wearily entered a narrow orange alleyway, layered in dust and glowing in the hot African sun. The colour and atmosphere were a stark contrast from what I had just emerged from, an irrigated desert oasis; a jungle of green growth and life. For the past forty minutes I had been hiking my way through the system of pathways and trails that makes up the oasis of Todra Gorge, Morocco. From above (which I had witnessed myself, from a rocky crop, that morning) the oasis appears as nothing more than a lush uninhabited forest against a palette of dry reds and browns; one step inside introdu ..read more

Visiting a Masai Village

My eyes adjusted to the darkness and I began to make out a small patch of cow skins in the corner and a faint glow from beneath a boiling pot of water. Breathing was laborious in the stuffy hut and I had to fan myself with my own hand to keep from getting dizzy. It was hard to imagine a family of eight living in this confined space, but that was the number of Masai villagers that called this particular dried-mud hut in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro home. The rest of my time in the Masai village was unique to any other experience I’ve ever had during my travels. I was completely out of m ..read more

Snowmobiling in Akureyri

Every once in a while I need to take a moment to absorb the situations that I find myself in during my travels. Admittedly, I do a lot of crazy stuff, so it doesn’t always phase me as much as it should. However, there is usually at least one moment in every trip where I think to myself… Wow, I love my life. For me, Iceland itself usually provides a prolonged life-loving feeling, but it was slightly stronger at the moment that I found myself drinking a beer inside an igloo that I had super-trucked and snowmobiled 2000 feet in elevation up a mountain to get to. Beer. Snowmobiles. Igloo. Best ..read more

The Big Five in Kenya

In the same way that many have a travel bucket list, most people come into a safari with a bucket list of animals that they want to see during their game drives. The Big Five is a list of five large African animals that always seem to make the most desired sightings; The lion, leopard, African elephant, rhinoceros and cape buffalo. Unfortunately, the origin of the Big Five is that of a negative one of poaching and trophies. The members of the Big Five were chosen for the difficulty in hunting them and the degree of danger involved, rather than their size. The lion and elephant are ..read more

Camel Trekking through the Sahara Desert

While I have always had the impossible lust of visiting every destination in the world, there are a few places that always linger in my mind just a little bit longer than the others. They are the places that I have dreamed of visiting since I was a child. They are the places that I almost can’t imagine actually setting foot in. They are the places that just don’t seem palpable. A prime example of one of these places, for me, was the Sahara Desert. Could these beautiful curvaceous piles of sand truly exist in the world? Do people really travel through them for days at a time? And, why would th ..read more
