Another week, another travel blog round up. I came across more great content this week then before. Perhaps it’s that I’m actively keep an eye out knowing that when Sunday comes around I’ll need to put this post together. This time around around, we’ve got a girl falling off a camel, a colourful parrot, a […]

Well, folks – Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Your day to drink glass after glass of green beer (alcoholic or not) has at long last come again. Yesterday I shared with you my 9 best photos of Ireland, and today, continuing the Irish theme, I’d like to bring together my videos of Ireland in one post. Grab

With St. Patrick’s Day just a night away, it seems only appropriate that today’s (and tomorrow’s) posts be dedicated to the land of green. I’ve never put together a photo story of sorts and I figured I’d give it a shot with some of my best pictures of Ireland. I only had 9 or 10

My Spork has broken. It is a sad, sad day. You might thinking, ‘Brock is delusional… he’s mourning a piece of plastic?’ While there may be some validity in that assumption, I’ve still got a case. I have often acclaimed that the ‘Spork’ is my favourite travel item, like in my ‘Best Things in My Pack‘ video.

At the start of this month I wrote a post called ‘Marching into March with Happiness‘ in which I made two commitments: 1) To lead with happiness by finding happiness first before striving for goals. Rather than working to reach those goals to obtain happiness, I learnt that having that happiness from the beginning would help me not only

What an image! I originally saw this photo when it was shared on the Facebook page of Francesco Mugnai. My jaw dropped. A sort of time lapse, this piece is blows my mind if only for it’s ability to show how busy an airport is. It seemed like a good follow up to the video of planes

A market in Vietnam. But not just any market, a black market! I recall snapping this photo like it was yesterday. After the incident in my first Hanoi hostel where the my fellow travellers, Suzie, Meghan and myself got locked in a room before heading out on one of those Vietnam that takes you to Halong Bay, we

I recently had this fantastic video shared with me that was featured on the website of the Toronto Star, Canada’s largest newspaper. The video, shot at Toronto Pearson International Airport (also known as YYZ), blends footage of planes taking off, maneuvering around the tarmac and still shots of the airport itself. Although taken on a cloudy day the

Happy International Women’s Day everyone! A day to celebrate…women! Keeping with the theme, I’d like to put the spotlight on some of my favourite solo female travel bloggers who, like me, work hard to make this blogging lifestyle their bread and butter. That said, there are a TON of ladies travelling the world and sharing

Have you seen this film? Have you even heard of this film? It’s name pretty much sums up the general idea of the film is, but I think it works better in a different order: A Day In Life. In a nut shell, the creators asked people to film their ‘life’ on July 24th, 2010

I distinctly remember the moment I took this photo. I was on a full day journey from Edinburgh, Scotland to Cork, Ireland. It was quite a distance to complete in one day by land (train, taxi & foot) & sea (ferry). The train I was on was making it’s way from Glasgow to the port

During my RTW trip, as I maintained this video blog, I was very fortunate to have a pit crew back in Canada making sure that my Facebook page was updated, emails were followed up and most importantly – that my pictures and videos (all 20,000 of them) were safely backed up. Twice. At the helm of my
