TweetAfter weeks of anticipation it finally happened: my sister got married....
The World is my Jungle Gym
Camera Update and Galapagos Calendar
TweetAs I’m sure you haven’t forgotten, I was robbed a couple weeks about in Quito (read about the Quito robbery here). I’d be lying if I wasn’t completely stressed out about the whole situation for days. The truth was that losing my 2 camera bodies and the two lenses was more like losing a friend [...]
Announcement: Brendan’s Adventures now on Kindle
TweetI know it’s strange to hear from me on a Saturday, but I wanted to let everyone know that Brendan’s Adventures is now available on Kindle through Amazon.com. It’s a little bit of a bummer that right now blogs are only available in a couple places in the world (not yet in Canada) but hopefully [...]
Manhattan Skyline: Photo of the Week
TweetAfter a quite emotional departure from South America I arrived very late the other night to New York City. I can’t tell you how struck I was by the “awakeness” of this city so late at night on a Monday. I shouldn’t have been surprised as New York is so rightfully nicknamed the city that never sleeps. [...]
The Babies of the Galapagos Islands: A Photo Essay
TweetThe Galapagos Islands will spoil your camera, there is no doubt about it. In fact, it is said that when people first arrive on the island they take pictures of each and every animal, but by the third day they refuse to give up memory card space for anything short of, say, a baby sea [...]
Goodbye my South America
TweetA layer of salty water embraces the shallow cavities of my reddening eyes as my fingers dance between the keyboard and occasional swipes at my cheeks. My stomach twists in a melancholy fight against the knots that pull it back towards my spine and the thousands of bees that bounce against its elastic walls. My [...]
Montanita Surf Session: A Photo Essay
TweetI’ve kind of published this on a whim because I am testing out the kindle version of Brendan’s Adventures, and I accidentally tossed a bunch of random pages through the feeds last night to make them look even more messy than usual. Regardless, any reason to post some photos is a fine right? That being [...]
A Giant Tortoise Safari in the Galapagos
TweetAs you know, last week was a really difficult week as all my camera gear was robbed in Quito. The truth is, I didn’t feel like posting a single photo, article, or item to this site until I got it sorted. However, I was given a shot of “suck it up” by the travel community [...]
Announcing a New Sponsor: AMEX Canada
TweetOne of the fun things about being a famous traveller (ok, I know I’m not famous, but indulge my ego for a moment please) is that sometimes a company will send me something travel related to test out for them. In a most recent case, the new American Express AIR MILES Platinum Credit Card has [...]
Photo of the Week: Manta Ray Leap
TweetTo use the term “amazing” about some of the things I experienced on my Galapagos Tour with Gecko’s Adventures would not be doing proper justice to the experiences. From chasing a shark through a rocky pass to swimming next to giant sea turtles, many of these great adventures took park in, on, or around the [...]
I was Robbed… I’m Going to Puke
TweetI feel like I’m going to puke… I can’t see a way that I won’t puke. I just had all my camera gear, over $3,000 worth, robbed on a bus leaving Quito, Ecuador. Today I was on my way to Tena, Ecuador to see my friends, who just had their lodge burn to the ground. [...]
