On our most recent trip to Sin City, we actually didn’t gamble a single penny. Imagine that! Who would have thought? The city of slot machines and card tables didn’t see any of our hard earned cash. That said, we did a lot of other fun stuff.

Cup Noodles and instant ramen is one of those things that are staples when it comes to emergency meals or quick easy meals for bachelors, students, teenagers, or for those that go camping and see cooking as only heating up water. Wherever we’ve lived in the world, there was always access to...

I haven’t met anyone who have played the Nintendo game Mario Kart and then say they didn’t like it. The game is hilarious and exciting for people of all ages. Now, would you believe me when I say that it’s possible to dress up in costumes and drive Go-Karts through the streets...

During our recent trip to Japan, we stayed a few nights at the Disneyland Hotel. It’s a very nice hotel, but we got a bit overwhelmed with the whole Disney theme and were in need for Japanese culture. A quick Google Maps search of what was nearby revealed a place called Bonsai Museum.

Sun Peaks, British Columbia

Written by matt on April 5, 2018. Posted in Blog, Canada. No Comments on Sun Peaks, British Columbia

Despite the word SUN in its name, SNOW is the reason to go there. It’s a ski and snowboard resort, after all. And with so many places in British Columbia to enjoy the slopes, we had no expectations when going there. Having been to Whistler and Big White multiple times, what else could there...
