Ucluelet - Tofino

Tofino is probably the most popular destination on Vancouver Island after Victoria and is extremely expensive, especially during the summer. I decided to check it out in September, although advance bookings for accommodations and tours are still essential.

Sunshine Coast

Although I've been to the Sunshine Coast many times, those trips were mostly hiking day trips focusing on the Lower Sunshine Coast. This Labour Day long weekend gave me a good opportunity to explore the Upper Sunshine Coast, check out some tours and do some light hiking along the way as well.

Yellowknife

Yellowknife is well known as one of the best places in the world to see the aurora. Luckily, you don't have to go deep into winter to see the aurora in Yellowknife. My trip to Yellowknife during the Easter long weekend turned out to be a success.

Western Sahara - West Africa

It takes a long time to do a grand land trip across West Africa, and it's impossible for me to do so at the moment. So I decided to start the journey in stages, beginning this time with a trip from Mauritania to Guinea.

Houston - Trinidad - South America

I haven't been to South America for almost six years. It's time to visit this continent again—starting with Guyana in the north, fishing in Patagonia in the southernmost part of South America, and including a transit stop in Houston and a side trip to Trinidad.

South Okanagan

This year's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation happens to be on a Monday. Thankfully, South Okanagan-Similkameen Transit provides regular service on this day. I decided to take this opportunity to tour South Okanagan by public transportation.

Central Europe

It's time to visit Central Europe, partly because of the current world situation and partly because a new ETIAS will take effect in 2025, causing additional effort and costs.
