The Canadian Rockies are well-known for their abundant wildlife, bustling waterfalls, towering mountain peaks and breathtaking turquoise lakes. Whether you love hiking, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding or wildlife watching, visiting alpine lakes gives you all these experiences.
I’ve been living near the Canadian Rockies for eight years and seen only a fraction of the lakes in the Canadian Rockies, despite being in the mountains every weekend. There are just so many of them.
This post compiles the most beautiful lakes you can visit in the Canadian Rockies, which are easily accessible by car.

read moreHave you ever thought of the freedom of riding a motorbike with the wind blowing through your hair, traveling to new destinations? Many people do, and the perfect motorbike is just waiting for you.
There is a lot to learn when you are just getting your first motorbike. You have to know how to ride it, what kind of gear you need, and the best way to take care of it. Helmets seem like an obvious safety tip for someone who has just gotten their first bike, but if the rest sounds confusing or concerning, don’t worry.
We have compiled five good tips for safe motorbike riding so that no matter where you live, you can feel confident about your new machine.
read moreIt’s the age of the minimalist traveler, and it’s something we definitely take for granted now – just how easy it is to travel light. Gone are the days of traveling with bulky paperbacks for entertainment on long plane rides, big cameras and bags of film (do you remember traveling with film?!), and road tripping with an actual atlas (who even knows how to read a map anymore?!).
Quite amazing to think that all of these things have since been consolidated into one pocket sized device (especially for those of us who actually know what an atlas is!).
That’s right – nowadays you simply hit the road with your smartphone, and you have a camera, map, your banking, plenty of entertainment, and even a translation device. Here are 5 things your smartphone can replace during travel … and here’s to traveling light!
read moreIt’s not just a wish list on your IG anymore, it’s reality! International borders are opening again and if you’re itching to embark on an amazing adventure, there’s no better time than now!
According to research from Savvy, two thirds of Australians feel confident about borders reopening. But having gone so long without travel, it’s understandable if you’re feeling a little rusty.
To get you back in the saddle we’ve put together a huge checklist so you can rest assured you have a smooth and worry-free experience.

Before you venture off on the next Machu Picchu trip, you might want to know a few things about this historic site so that you can appreciate this incredible spot even more.
read moreFiji has over 300 sublime tropical islands that offer unique attractions and activities. But some of these destinations haven’t caught the attention of people traveling to the South Pacific archipelago yet.

read moreEarlier in the week I reviewed my favorite entry level portable laptop monitor; the INNOCN Travel Monitor N1F PRO, a great way to enjoy an external computer display on the go.
Though since then many of you have reached out and asked about a portable monitor with a screen specifically built for photo editing, which is still slim enough and sturdy enough to travel with on the road.
Much of my photo editing happens on the road; in the downtime I have in hotels, or in transit. Though I’m often traveling with an old laptop (safety hack, I leave my good laptop at home!), or sharing photos straight from my phone. So I definitely understand the importance of investing in a high quality laptop monitor, with a premium screen for a strong and vivid visual experience.
For me that’s the INNOCN 4K OLED Portable Monitor PU15-PRE. And just like the N1F PRO, for this monitor I also have a discount code: $120 off code: INCMT15RE
read moreThe best places to invest in Sedona depend on what you’re looking for. However, the most popular approach to investing in Sedona is investing in a luxurious vacation property and then turning it into a long-term home.
Sedona has many advantages when it comes to real estate. Demand is high, it has room to grow, and its perks as a winter vacation destination are irrefutable.
Record-low mortgage rates are also keeping demand consistent.
With resources such as vacation rental management companies in Sedona, even though you can never predict how a market will respond to fluctuations, Sedona seems like a safe bet.
read moreI started life as a digital nomad 7 years ago. At this time, working from my laptop while traveling the world wasn’t heard of.
And even in 2019, it was still a very ‘out of the box’ idea for most of society, that you could pack up your belongings, grab a laptop and a travel monitor, and work from the road.
My office has been on a cruise ship in Antarctica, from a hammock in the Galapagos Islands, and from a treehouse in Costa Rica with the sloths and monkeys as my neighbors for the night.
Of all the 100 countries I’ve visited, my laptop and portable laptop monitor have always been with me, and now that the world has woken up to being able to work from home, people have also realized ‘home’ can be substituted for the road.
Whether you’re working from home or the road, the INNOCN Travel Monitor N1F PRO is one of my favorite entry level laptop monitors for personal business, office, and travel.
