Das Boot

Here we are, on the last days of our adventure, and hopefully everything has been enjoyable. This very last trip were going on, is to celebrate the final days we have together with a big bang-Oktoberfest; a huge sixteen day folk festival filled with beer and food held in Deutschland. So, get ready for the party of your life! Hundreds of thousands of people gather in Munich to drink and celebrate away. When I went, there were not only a lot of alcohol, but there was a lot of activities to do and delicious traditional foods to eat as well. For example, Obatzda a spicy cheese dish was my favourite. So don't worry about under aged drinking because there are a lot of other activities to do as well. Also, remember that the age of being able to drink is lower than what we have here in America. So, if they want a sip or two it is legally allowed ;).  Furthermore, organizers make Oktoberfest a family friendly event so don't be afraid to bring your kids! Finally, what better way to return home than after a good night of celebrating with delicious well crafted beer and all sorts of fun activities for the kids?

CHEERS!












Finally, only a few more days left! This very last adventure is going to awaken your soul to a new kind of music. Were going to New Orleans's Jazz Festival. What better place to listen and immerse your self in than the city where Jazz began? Not only do they have the best music possible, but the food they serve such a Jambalaya? . It reminds you of the good old days where everyone sat together sharing the food they made. Everything is made from the soul, it feels like its magic. From the sounds that come out of the trumpet and horns to the smell of the food prancing in the air, everything is so pure. To celebrate the southern culture, something that we don't regularly do, can be refreshing for yourself. Thus, giving you a clear mind going back to the regular world after our adventure.

I hope you enjoyed this series of adventures that we went on, and hopefully there will be more to come! :)

Love is in the air

These next two adventures/activities that were doing are excellent choices to partake in with your significant other. The ambiance and the time you get to spend with your special person makes this a must when going on a vacation. First we travel to southeast Asia, more specifically Thailand. Many resorts exists where elephants partake in adventures. The reason we are here is because we want to bathe with the elephants. Theses gentile giants have the ability to spray water with their magnificent trunks; essentially creating a faucet that sprays water. Think of how romantic bathing with theses creatures would be with your significant other. Just the two of you, in the wild,  bathing with one of natures miraculous creations. I can't think of any other situation id rather be in than that. Not only is it romantic, its amusing and Eco friendly. There's no need to worry about wasting water because everything comes straight from the river you're in. Furthermore,  it may be just me, however being in the wild with an animal that I never see back at home is exhilarating. In addition to the fact that you're with somebody you love being with, it makes for THE perfect experience.







After such a fun and eventful day, what better is there than kicking back and watching the sunset with the person  you love? This next activity takes both of those factors and brings it to the extreme. Were going to watch the sun set, a hundred meters above the ground in a hot air balloon. Taking some snacks and a romantic bottle of aged wine rounds up the perfect day with a perfect ending. You get to see the beautiful vibrant colours of the sun set in a completely different view. You wont have only one beautiful view, but two-the other being the special person sitting beside you witnessing one of Earths greatest gifts to man kind. Even if the day was stressful, this way you get to sit in the serenity of nature as you see your day coming to an end. But, realising somewhere else in the world that the sun is rising to start a new day, and what is more beautiful than that? To watch the sunset with the person you love, and waking up next to that person is a joy and privilege that I wish everyone can experience at least once in their life time.

One extreme to another

Well, we have travelled from one extreme to the next, but this next adventure is going to be out of this world-...literally. Were going into space to experience zero gravity! Imagine yourself weighing nothing and being able to float around aimlessly; even having the ability to jump unnatural lengths without a problem. In space, everything and anything is possible. Ever dreamt about being an astronaut? Well today's the day that far fetched dream becomes a reality. Travelling into outer space is a surreal experience that not many people have the privilege of experiencing. Here are 4 things the average Joe is missing out on a trip to space.

1. Zero gravity. The most anticipated experience people relate with space is zero gravity. Ever since we were young, Earth's gravity has kept us rooted on the ground making us unable to jump ten feet in any direction. However in space, those confines are no more. Feel lazy and don't want to walk? No problem! You can just throw your legs in the air and float around all day long.

2. Seeing earth in a different perspective. We don't really get to see the world even if were living on it. We cant tell the size of Earth just by looking in one direction. But in space, you get to see Earth and its enormity from a distance and in a different and refreshing perspective.

3.Lifestyle. When in space you cant leave the spaceship to go use the washroom or to go buy something. When in space, you live a unique lifestyle completely different of earth. You can't eat normal food nor can you sleep like a normal person. Everything you learnt on earth gets thrown out the window.

4. Experience. When in space, you may be frantic with whatever job you have to do. However, that's doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself when you're up there. The sunset and sunrise is especially special when you get to see it in space. You gain a completely new set of knowledge and experience from trips to the moon-somethings others will never have.

Although there are drawbacks such as muscle loss and coordination loss when you return to earth, its a trip that you will never forget. So lay back and enjoy the ride!




I know it my be hard on your bodies, but our next adventure are for the people who are still teens are heart. If you never experiences the teenage party life, don't fret because the next place were going is like a cross between high school parties and raging concerts-Coachella. Strobe lights, sun light, short shorts, t-shirts and midnight concerts are all part of the experience. One of  THE biggest music festivals in North America occurs in Indo, California, United States. Famous celebrities and Musician are a common occurrence at Coachella. There are all types of genres concerts to attend,  from rock to RnB to pop, there is music for everyone. Be on the lookout for your favourite celebs as they will most likely be there; some celebrities include, Selena Gomez , Kendall Jenner and Lucy Hale. You might be flustered at the size of the music festival but fear not, here are some tips and tricks to maximise your enjoyment.


1. Arrive early to your favourite artist. Your favourite artist may be the favourite artist of thousands of other people. So to ensure you get that front row seat, arrive early in the day instead of last minute or else you'll be stuck behind some sweaty teens that block your view.

2. Hydrate and Eat. You may be to busy going from concert to concert; however, if you neglect your health, it will only ruin your experience and slow you down.

3. Make a plan. To maximise your efficiency, make a plan of all the concerts and the routes your going to take to relieve some stress and allow for a more enjoyable day.

4. Take a taxi. If you're considering driving to Coachella, bad idea! The traffic will be terrible, parking stalls will be very limited, it will take forever, and the cost of parking will be very taxing on your funds. Instead take a taxi and save time and money.

5.Enjoy yourself. I know that's obvious, but to often people spend to much time on their phones taking videos and pictures to post on social media. Put that phone down! And just enjoy that moment because the only things you're doing when your on social media is wasting time and money.

Start! Day 1-Fishing with the Cranks and Tips when visiting a volcano

Here we go! First destination: Cold lake, Alberta Saskatchewan. Ever dreamt of going fishing for ten pound monsters? Let alone on the ice? Well, you're in for a treat. The most natural and beautiful outdoors of Canada offers they most amazing scenery and excellent fishing! So, bundle up and don't forget to bring your rod and cooler! The ice is 4 feet deep so the drilling may be a bit extraneous, but like they say, you must work to reap its rewards. Some people ask me why I love fishing and really its very simple. Some may find sitting and waiting to be extremely boring and a waste of time. However, once you feel the rush of a good battle between a fish-fighting for its life-and yourself-fighting to keep it- you will never look at it the same way again. Anyways, we can crack open a few beers and enjoy each others companies that's the best part. :)



Now its time to travel south to Hawaii where there are currently active volcanoes. The lava and smoke you see in movies? They are even more exhilarating to see in person. But, this time you aren't sitting in the comforts of your home. One wrong step and you could literally be turned into a crisp. Here are some tips and tricks for the newbies in the adventure world of volcanoes.

1. Never ever walk off trail. You may be tempted to go off trail; however, the land is vast. Therefore chances are high that you may get disoriented and get lost-never a good situation.

2.Bring LOTS and LOTS of water. You don't want to get stuck without water near a volcano. Also hiking to your destination can cause dehydration. Which can lead to hallucinations and all sorts of health problems. So, pack a lot of water for the round trip!

3. Clothing. Wear proper hiking and temperature appropriate clothes. A good pair of sturdy boots and some athletic material clothing is your best option. Anything else has the possibility of ruining your trip from sweat rashes to over heating to burns. Finally wear SUNSCREEN.

4. Be aware of the dangers. You don't want to find out the dangers halfway into your trip. Do some research and familiarise yourself with the proper and necessary information.

5. Finally ENJOY.
