Why I started this Blog....

I first got the travel bug as a teenager. I remember driving my parents to Ottawa airport and seeing them off on their first European tour. All I could think of was how badly I wanted to go with them.  My idea of heaven was to cross the Atlantic on a jet airliner, a goal that would elude me for another few years.

But I ended up making numerous overseas trips in my twenties, culminating in a permanent move to London with my wife in my 30th year. With the UK as my base, European travel became far easier and cheaper than ever before, I've been hooked ever since.

Onee of the most important things I have learned about traveling is that it CAN either be a DREAM or a NIgHtMaRe, :-p and that it's often the Littlest things that make traveling easier that can make the Biggest difference to the quality of your experience.

Nowadays there is an overabundance of advice on what to take, what to buy, what to wear, how to pack it, how to organise.... int other words what when, where, why, and how to do everything to make traveling more fun and less chore!! So I want to share my own discoveries and help YOU, dear reader out of your confusion and try to point you to whichever tips, advice, products on the market, etc. that are likely to help you the most, to save you a ton of searching.  

To help ensure that your traveling experience will be the Dream you dreamed it would be!!! ;-)
