by

1Dad1Kid.com Since sharing that we’re going back to Mexico to see if perhaps another part of the country (as opposed to the Yucatan) would work as a base for us, particularly San Miguel de Allende (SMA), I’ve had several people ask what about SMA has drawn us there. So, I figured I’d share the reasons why it’s the first stop for us. Food Mexican food is amazing pretty much everywhere in Mexico. Each region has its special dishes … [Read More]

Some Of My Favorite 2015 Travel Experiences (So Far)

by

I realize I’m jumping the gun on this; it is, after all, still September. But with the majority of the year behind me, I thought I’d take a few minutes to reflect back on the travel experiences that have meant the most to be this year. I do this acknowledging the fact that I still have several more trips planned for this year and by December 31, I will undoubtedly and hopefully be able to add to this list. More than anything, it’s a good mental exercise for me to look back and reflect and try to … [Read More]

37 Hours in Harrisburg/Hershey: Day-Drinking, Paddling, and Geeking Out in Small Town Pennsylvania

by

Join Vagabondish on Twitter and Facebook. When I say Pennsylvania, you think …? Cheesesteaks, insane Eagles fans, and Rocky’s totally rad climb up the steps of that fancy museum in Philly, right? Rabid Fans © US Presswire Totally understandable. But there are actually other cities in Pennsylvania! The cities of Harrisburg and Hershey don’t get nearly the same love as Philadelphia, yet they’re both fantastic in their own right. Harrisburg’s downtown core, in particular, has rapidly grown over the last five years to include fantastic craft breweries, excellent outdoor… [Read More]

There’s Still Time for One More Summer Trip

by

I’ve always been under the impression that the season changes on the 21st of a given month, so I was surprised upon Googling “first day of fall” the other day to learn that it, well, falls on September 23. Of course, it certainly doesn’t feel like fall yet here in central Texas. Indeed, in my experience, most of the country doesn’t really start experiencing fall weather until early October, which is why I’m of the opinion that there are still one… [Read More]

by

Leenan Beach in Donegal, along the Wild Atlantic Way/Flickr/Greg Clarke While Dublin’s museums, beautiful Georgian doorways, and craft beer scene could certainly fill an entire trip, we can think of some good reasons to venture beyond Ireland’s capital city. Glistening lakes, rugged filming locations, and scenic coastal drives are just a few reasons to get out of town. Here, five weekend trips from Dublin worth the drive. For Surf & Spa: Sligo (under 250 kilometers, or 155 miles, from Dublin) Sligo, a surfing town on the northwest coast of Ireland, is just under a three-hour drive from Dublin… [Read More]

The Wildlife Safari in Kenya That Inspired Pride Rock

by

This post talks about a certain wildlife safari in Kenya. There’s a video at the end so if you’re a fan of moving pictures, hop straight down there to enjoy! Cheers – Abi Wildlife Safari in Kenya: The Lion King Effect Hakuna Matata. It’s a wonderful phrase. One I first heard, as many did, over twenty years ago through the songs and sounds of The Lion King. In the same way that I adopted E.T, so my younger brothers adopted Simba, the lead character in the Disney… [Read More]

Common Misconceptions about Long-Term Travel

by

1Dad1Kid.com The longer we’re on the road, the more myths and common misconceptions about long-term travel we encounter. Sometimes I find myself countering my own previously held ideas, but most often I see or hear things mentioned that make me either roll my eyes or painfully bite my tongue. Time to dispel some of those. Of course, some of these apply to short-term travel as well. Travel is Unsafe I think this has to be the most common misconception I hear and read, especially… [Read More]

Celtic Colours: A Tapestry of Celtic Culture

by

Categories: Best OfTravelingImage: It might seem an unlikely place for cultures to meet and for tradition to endure — and for both of those things to happen along side each other — yet such things occur on Cape Breton Island. They have been happening for centuries, as waves of Gaels from Scotland’s Highlands and Western Isles met up with First Nations people, with emigrants from… [Read More]

Six Years of International Living

by

Greetings, Today marks six years that I’ve been living internationally. I’d say it has been six years of traveling but that wouldn’t be the case, I haven’t been “on the road” for six years . I’ve actually just finished building my first home on a small Caribbean Island called Little Corn off the coast of Nicaragua. I just can’t believe it has been six years since I left Ottawa, six incredibly fast years that I’ve woken up and my day has predominantly been filled with whatever I so … [Read More]

(Be sure to watch the video of all four of our winter outdoor activities at the end … [Read More]

7 Unusual Museums You May Not Know But Should Visit

by

There’s nothing better than visiting a great, world-class museum, whether it’s history, art or culture they’re a big part of the travel experience for many of us. In addition to those mega-museums though, I also search out the small and quirky, the unusual museums that many people seem to ignore, but which I believe are just as important as the big institutions. They share certain niches or subjects that may not always get as much attention as others, … [Read More]

Seattle: Boeing Ready For Some Football With Seahawks Paint Job

by

The start of the NFL season is less than two months away, and although we’ll be sad to see summer go, we can’t wait for the opening kickoff. (And hopefully, the end of all the #deflategate talk.) Anyway, Boeing is ready for the season sooner than most, and once again they’re trussing up one of their birds with some football-inspired flair. The fine folks… [Read More]
