5 Ways to Make Your Dreams a Reality

Posted on November 11, 2013 by Lesley | 7 Comments

I was a high school English teacher. For eight years, that’s how I defined myself; for the rest of my life before that, I was a student. I was content in life. I was content with my career. I was content with my location. I was content with my extra-curricular activities. I was content in my marriage. I was content. I…

Into the Wind in Southern California

Posted on November 8, 2013 by Lesley | 0 Comments

Amelia Earhart once said, “Adventure is worthwhile in its self.” This belief, along with our shared attitudes about altitude, encouraged me to try the engine-free flight options in southern California. The entire southern coast offers numerous ways to fly into the wind. Whether you crave the thrill of bungee jumping, prefer the extreme, heart-racing pleasure of sky-diving or a serene…

On the Edge

Posted on November 4, 2013 by Jaspa | 0 Comments

As I mentioned in my Bucket List article last week (Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah), I enjoy ziplining but I’m not very keen on heights. Actually, that’s not quite true. I’m fine with heights. Whenever there’s an opportunity to go up something and see the view from the top, I’m usually right there. And like my brother, Bisckits, there’s nothing I love more than…

Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah

Posted on October 28, 2013 by Jaspa | 4 Comments

The first time I went ziplining was in Whistler, British Columbia, in 2008, with Ziptrek Tours. It was a spontaneous decision, and one I wasn’t completely sure about! I have to admit to feeling a little nervous as we headed up the track towards the first line. After all, we were about to whizz back and forth between Whistler and…

Zipping & Dipping in a Land of Stunning Beauty

Posted on October 2, 2013 by Lesley | 1 Comments

North Kohala, Hawaii is a land of towering waterfalls and rich, impressive forests. This was the backdrop to our Kohala Zip & Dip adventure with Hawaii Forest & Trail. We joined Mike Pickard, our guide, and four other guests on an exciting and educational adventure in the lands of Hawaii’s first king. We explored the vastly different lands, zipped high above…

Snorkeling with the Ballerinas of the Ocean

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Lesley | 1 Comments

I prepared to jump from the Hula Kai Adventures boat into the endless abyss. I had no idea what to expect below. Resting stations were set up only feet from the boat, but in the dark of night on the Pacific Ocean I could feel my pulse quicken. Before I even stepped off the boat, I could see the gigantic shadows gliding through the…

Discovering Croatia’s Krka National Park

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Mike Lince | 1 Comments

In 1985, 45 square miles of the Krka River basin was proclaimed Krka National Park. Flowing only 45 miles from its spring-fed source to the Adriatic Sea, the Krka River offers stunning scenery. Like most of the rivers in Croatia, the Krka is clean and pure enough to drink, which may be why the Romans saw fit to build structures…

Exploring Croatia’s National Parks

Posted on September 24, 2013 by Mike Lince | 4 Comments

One of the most impressive qualities about Croatia is their preservation of the most beautiful public spaces for posterity through their system of national parks and parks of nature. The distinction between national parks and parks of nature is the legal limitations on land use. A good analogy would be the difference between a national park and a national forest…

Things To Do In A Cenote

“That would definitely have been on my Bucket List, if only I’d known about it beforehand.” Have you ever looked back on an adventure that came out of the blue, and thought something along these lines? Well, that’s exactly what happened to me in Mexico two years ago. Several times, in fact. The northern half of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula has…

Braving The Kaituna…With Mum!

Posted on September 22, 2013 by Steven Moore | 1 Comments

I really have to hand it to my mum Sue and my auntie Pat…they each have a giant pair of cahones. In 2007 we all traveled over to New Zealand for my brother Ian’s wedding. He had lived there many years with his to-be wife Rosh, and we went to celebrate their happy day. Part of the few weeks of…
