A Digital Detox to Madagascar So, this is it. I’m going on a digital detox as the cool kids are calling it these days. What this really means is that I’m going on what we old folk (who remember dial up and actually having to use a red phone booth) call a holiday. Back in the old days, before email, before mobile phones, before instagram, snapchat, viber and whatsapp, if you weren’t at the office and you weren’t at home…well, then, people couldn’t reach you. They didn’t expect you to work. It’s hard not to notice how all that ... (c) Inside the Travel Lab - Read entire story here. … [Read more]

Traveling more can help pay for university I can’t believe that summer is almost over and it’s time for kids to go back to school. Braydon, our oldest boy, is only 3.5 years old, but he will be starting kindergarten next year. It’s mind-blowing to think that our baby boy will be starting school in one year. How is that even possible?! It feels like only a few months ago we were taking him on his first trip to California. We now understand why parents and grandparents told us to cherish every moment, even the bad ones. Blink and ... (c) Traveling Canucks - Read entire story here. … [Read more]
A few days ago the organizers of the weekly photo sharing event #FriFotos announced that they were discontinuing this Twitter tradition of five-years. Almost every week for those five years I have participated, using the new weekly themes as a creative motivator to create new and (I hope) interesting photo series. I probably will continue doing a weekly photo series, finding inspiration somewhere else, but in the mean time I want to join everyone else in thanking the organizers for five amazing years.

Join Vagabondish on Twitter and Facebook. For vagabonds who’ve witnessed exotic sights, immersed themselves in foreign cultures, and climbed to the tops of pyramids, the familiar hometown might not be the ideal final destination. But when happenstance, poor planning, or bad luck plunk you back onto your old stomping grounds, it’s easy to spend too many nights contemplating your misfortune over beers at the local bar.

From somewhere in the depths of the indigo water comes a splash and a squeal. A small fin pokes above the surface followed by the whip of a tail. It’s a dolphin. Just meters away from our traditional dhoni boat. Seconds later, it resurfaces. But this time it’s joined by another dolphin.. and another…and another… By now, there are a dozen or so dolphins surrounding us.

By Adam Groffman I’ve got this thing for Scandinavia. Having never been to Copenhagen before, when I arrived on the weekend of gay pride, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. All I had known about Copenhagen was the fact that it was supposed to be expensive. I’d heard rumors of 40€ brunches (per person!), but when I showed up, I found a city completely different than anything I had assumed. First, the train from the airport into the city center was...
