Well, I thought it would never come but at last, here we have another video update from my current adventure with Viator. As I recall from my last travels here, internet in Asia can be pretty frustrating so getting a video on to YouTube takes patience and determination. Officially we have Japan and China under [...]

Telling The Time in Ancient China
During our meanderings through Beijing, I came across a display showing some of the ways they used to tell time in ancient China (and other parts of the world I can only assume) before there were clocks as we know them today. One example used burning incense, string and bells while the other was simply [...]

Farewell Tokyo – Ni Hao Beiing!
Well, Tokyo is under our belt! Asha and I had an incredible time exploring the city and some places nearby. From the friendly people and efficient culture to the temples from the past and the quirky aspects, I truly fell in love with both the city of Tokyo and the country of Japan. We’ve been [...]

Konichiwa from Mt. Fuji, Japan
Wow! I am already in love with Japan! As promised, it’s another update as my explorations of Asia are officially underway. Asha and I are having a blast and I wanted to share a little moment from one of the tours we filmed: Mt. Fuji! Sending you big love! Until next time, Sayonara!

Where’s Brock Headed This Time?
I’ve had an exciting announcement to share with you. A big one. Last year I spent the summer travelling around North America filming and hosting tours for a company called Viator. Each day my partner Jules and I would go on tours, one of us would host or ‘experience’ the tour while the other would [...]

Announcement Time! Here’s To The Next #50!
-You can read below but honestly…watch the video above. It is so much more fun. The bloopers are possibly better than the announcement itself- It seems to have snuck up on me. Somehow in the last couple months I added 10 more countries to my list of visited places. No wonder I’m feeling so travel [...]

Halloween Musings from Abroad
Well, Halloween is upon us once again! As I was growing up, October 31st was one of my favourite a days of the year. You got to pick a costume, dress up, wear it to school, then parade around town collecting as much candy as possible. I would go as far as devising [...]

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!
Back home in Canada it is Thanksgiving weekend. Turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie and so on. Mmmm. This year I am on the other side of the world and unable to celebrate back in my native land. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t be thankful. Aside from the lack of pumpkin pie here in Macedonia, it’s [...]

That Time I Was Called to be in a ‘Call Me Maybe’ Lip Dub…

I’ll explain how exactly it works in another post but today I want to address something that has continuously come up each time we [...]

The two had just explored Russia and northern Europe and were ready to warm up in the Mediterranean. They were from Australia, were abroad for a few months and [...]
