About Me

Life’s a voyage, this is me wandering through. Follow me on my adventures as I travel to different places around the world and explore my own backyard. I work a 9-5 job, but I am able to explore to my heart’s content. How? Let me show you.

  • Discussion: There are a number of places all over the world that don’t allow photography inside, like Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, Sistine Chapel in Italy, Jewel House in UK, The Alamo in the US, Valley of the Kings in Egypt, The Taj Mahal in India, etc. 📷 I admit I was so let down when I was told that no photographs are allowed inside this castle. I love taking photos and love sharing them, but I also completely understand why. The flash can ruin artwork if you’re silly enough to fire it. Tourists have dropped cameras on precious history, damaging it forever. Sites are sacred. There’s also an air of mystery too. I mean, if no photographs are allows, then the only way to see inside is to visit yourself. 📸 And yet, people break these rules all the time. I mean, if you just look for the Sistine Chapel tag on Instagram, you’ll see hundreds of images of the inside. Then there’s also professional photos you can search and find online. 🌎 What do you think? Should sites be open to photography if there are strict rules? Or should we have these no-photo oases? -------------- Find out how the heck to get to this castle 👉 How to get to Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany.

  • Most people come to Fussen, Germany to get to the Neuschwanstein Castle. And that’s not a bad thing, that castle is hella cool. But many people skip over this little picture-perfect Bavarian town in the heart of the German Alps. My advice: don't skip it. 🏰 You’ll find the beautiful Bavarian architecture, and if you follow your nose, you might find yourself dining on the delicious dishes served in town. -------------- Find out how the heck to get to this castle 👉 How to get to Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany.

  • Germany’s Neuschwanstein Castle was the fantastical project of Bavarian king, Ludwig II, who was known as the Swan King, the Fairy Tale King, and even the Mad King – very Game of Thrones if you ask me. 👑 The castle is nothing short of lavish – from the throne hall, which was modelled after a church, decorated with gold, stars, mosaics and murals, to the bedroom, which has a theme of the legend of Tristan and Isolde, to the artificial rock grotto in the king’s apartment, to the singer’s hall decorated in murals depicting Parzival, the swan knight, and the Holy Grail. 🏰 Every nook and cranny of this castle was meticulously planned, corrected and re-planned by the King. But, Ludwig II never saw the completion of the castle, dying in 1886 after he was certified insane and arrested. -------------- Find out how the heck to get to this castle 👉 How to get to Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany.

  • I’ve always wondered what it was actually like to live in a castle. And not the romanticized version you see in the movies or TV shows. But what it is actually like for the hand maidens and the cooks. 🏰 Neuschwanstein Castle in southern Germany was never really lived in, nor was it completed before King Ludwig II died. It also isn’t that old compared to other castles in the Europe. 🇩🇪 So while this castle was the inspiration behind a Disney’s sleeping beauty castle, it really has a lot more going on than meets the eye. 👑 What do you think it would actually be like to live in a castle? -------------- Find out how the heck to get to this castle 👉 How to get to Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany.

  • Dark sky preserves are some of the greatest places to see the stars as they were meant to be seen! 🌟 Grab your camera, a tripod and a blanket and head out to the nearest dark sky preserve. Many of the ones located at parks will have dark sky parties – so see if a national park near you has come coming up soon. -------------- Enjoy the night sky as it was meant to be seen at Canada’s dark sky preserves.

  • The first permanent dark sky preserve is located in the Muskokas in Ontario. And with the big swaths of land that have a tiny population, Canada is the perfect location for star-gazing. 🌌 Each of the dark sky preserves are given a number on the Bortle Scale – a measurement of the night sky’s brightness. The lower the number, the better. A class 1 is an excellent dark sky site, whereas a class 9 is an inner city sky. -------------- Enjoy the night sky as it was meant to be seen at Canada’s dark sky preserves.

  • Have you ever stared up at the sky at night and tried to count all the stars you could see? As a child, I went to an overnight camp in Northern Ontario. At night, I remember looking up and being floored by the millions of stars that dotted the sky. 🌌 I’ve been pretty lucky. Growing up in the country, I’ve seen countless stars, meteor showers, eclipses and even the northern lights without leaving my property. Now that I live in the city, those viewing opportunities are few and far between. -------------- Enjoy the night sky as it was meant to be seen at Canada’s dark sky preserves.

  • Did you know that Canada has 25 dark sky preserves across the country? 🌟 With more than half of the world’s population living in cities, I’d bet that seeing a sky, utterly devoid of light except for the tiny balls of fire in the sky, is rarely done. Whether you’re out a night to marvel at the beauty of the universe or to take stunning astrophotography, you’ll find your perfect stage and one of the many dark sky preserves in Canada. -------------- Enjoy the night sky as it was meant to be seen at Canada’s dark sky preserves.

  • Let’s talk about stars, baby 🌟 Have you heard of Dark Sky Preserves? A dark sky preserve is usually a park that is far away from a city and restricts artificial light pollution. This allows the area to be sufficiently dark to allow for stargazing. Outside of Canada, they are also referred to as Dark Sky Reserves. 🌌 There are 25 dark sky preserves across Canada designated by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. -------------- Enjoy the night sky as it was meant to be seen at Canada’s dark sky preserves.
