Choosing Child Restraint – What’s after infant car seat?
So many car seat products! What are they for and when do I need them? In North America, even with living in a very walkable city, occasional travel by car is still unavoidable. Children car seats are the most popular and effective safety gear used to protect our precious cargo in an event of a collision. Outside road transportation, air travel also benefit from the use of car seat for convenience and comfort. But for urbanites like us that relied mostly on public transport and ride-share services, constantly installing and hauling these very sizeable objects around is not an easy task. Our scenario Our daughter has been travelling with her…

Keystone, CO
Keystone Peak Three years ago I decided I’d go skiing. I’d skied in Niseko early in 2016 and was itching to get back on the board. Keystone has one of the earliest opening days in North America. I planned my trip and made my bookings for thanks giving. Turns out the 2016 season was probably one of the worst seasons they have had. I planned to do a few days at Keystone and a few days at A-Basin and bought the five day pass that no longer exists. The only run open was Schoolmarm and Last Chance. I’d recommend not going early. I did all five days at Keystone after hearing…

Minneapolis, MN
Stone Arch Bridge My first visit to an American city outside of the top 20. And depending on when you read this, Minneapolis is ranked in position 46. My draw to visit this city was a conference. And this is how I would summarise Minneapolis, a conference city. Located along the Mississippi River at mile marker 854. Which is also the location of the only naturally occurring water falls along the Mississippi River, the Saint Anthony Falls. This then meant I had the ability to see the Mississippi from (almost) both ends. Our trip to New Orleans in March means we saw the Mississippi from mile marker 90.3. To mix…

The Food of New Orleans, LA
Cochon Fried Alligator and Louisiana Cochon New Orleans is famous for its foods. Beignets, Jambalaya, Gumbo, P’boy, Crawfish Etouffee. While our stomachs are only a certain size, we tried to put a dint in the local seafood population. Day 1 Our first stop was Drago’s. Drago’s apparently invented the char grilled oyster. These were the best I had while we were visiting. As the oysters weren’t a meal we grabbed the Alligator Tacos and Seafood Gumbo to complete lunch. As this was a late lunch around 3pm, we got a table immediately. Annoyingly we lost internet on both of our phones, so just wondered aimlessly until we decided it was…

Jackson Hole, WY
Rendezvous Bowl Having heard so much about Jackson Hole I needed to make a special effort to travel to and ride this mountain. Winter 2018 had 1,275 cm(502 in) which was above the average snow fall of 1,166 cm (459 in) for this mountain. As a budget traveler and having booked for a late season trip in March, I didn’t have any expectations, I just wanted to ride a new location and tick another famous mountain off my list. There were a couple of late snowstorms that came through with 20 cm to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) during my stay. The lower-mid elevations were warm, with rain falling…
