    Put the luggage down and pick up a hobby

    by W. Andrew Powell November 23, 2020
    by W. Andrew Powell November 23, 2020

    My wife and I love to plan things, dreaming of the next time we can take a trip, get in the car, and just get away for a few days. The last eight months have been something else though, haven’t they?

    Local road trips are your best bet for 2020 travel

    by W. Andrew Powell June 8, 2020
    by W. Andrew Powell June 8, 2020

    What did you expect this year? Not this, I imagine, and if you were planning a holiday, there’s certainly some good news ahead, but there’s also a new reality we need to embrace.

    Travelling with the Apple iPhone 11

    by W. Andrew Powell December 13, 2019
    by W. Andrew Powell December 13, 2019

    When I’m travelling, I usually bring a lot of gear with me. There’s my DSLR, an action camera, and usually a couple of phones because I’m working on reviews. For my vacation to Disney World this year though, I decided I was going to try and carry less, so I just brought the Apple iPhone 11 with me many days, and it was frankly one of the best decisions of the trip.

    Treetop trekking & country driving with the Ford Ranger

    by W. Andrew Powell October 21, 2019
    by W. Andrew Powell October 21, 2019

    Aerial game trekking might be the most challenging thing I’ve tried in a long time, and it’s like nothing else. Imagine an obstacle course in the treetops, and you’ve got the general idea. It’s a lot of fun, and on the perfect fall weekend, it’s the perfect reason to get out into Ontario’s back yard.

    Travel video: New Brunswick road trip

    by W. Andrew Powell August 6, 2019
    by W. Andrew Powell August 6, 2019

    This summer my family took a road trip to New Brunswick for a little vacation, visiting with my father, and exploring the province for a few days. It was such a great trip, driving over 3,000 km from Toronto to Saint John, and back again that I had to make a video.

    Summer exploring at Bon Echo Provincial Park

    by W. Andrew Powell July 21, 2019
    by W. Andrew Powell July 21, 2019

    If I had the chance, some day I would love to spend the summer at a cabin or in an RV somewhere. Every year I look forward to summer vacation, and nothing really beats getting out of the city for a few days to one of Ontario’s incredible forests, nestled along a lake somewhere.

    East coast getaway: Our New Brunswick road trip

    by W. Andrew Powell June 22, 2019
    by W. Andrew Powell June 22, 2019

    Give me the open road, a reliable car, and some time with my family, and I’m a very happy guy, especially when I get to drive to the east coast from a little time away.

    Travel planning for the year ahead

    by W. Andrew Powell April 7, 2019
    by W. Andrew Powell April 7, 2019

    There is nothing as good for the soul as travel, if you ask me, and this year I’m already excited about a few family trips we’ve been planning.
