The problem with writing this post was narrowing it down to only 10 things.
We love so much about travel that we could have written 100 things that we love about it. (Hey, now that would make a great post) But we don't want to bore you to death.
1. Adventure
Dave and I love adventure in our lives. Even when we are at home we love to go climbing, snowboarding, cycling…anything.
We can't sit still and when we travel, we love finding new adventures to try. There are many different adventures in different countries that we can't necessarily do in Canada.
We love being active.
From bungee jumping in Victoria Falls to camping in the White Desert of Egypt or going on a camel Safari in India to going on a big game safari
We can't do these in Canada and travel gives us the chance to try different adventures that we wouldn't otherwise get to do. What do we love most about travel? Finding our next great adventure.
2. Eating out
We love food. Who doesn't? What we love about travel is discovering new kinds of food.
We love trying new foods!
We love the act of going out to eat and trying something new. We love eating with chopsticks, with our hands, we love eating out of hot pots, off of banana leaves or eating street food.
We love the atmosphere of eating in restaurants around the world and we love the social atmosphere of going out to eat.
3. Meeting New People
We are a very social couple and we love to chat with people.
Meeting new people is one of the best parts
We have made some great friends traveling and some of our fondest memories of travel have been moments with the people that
Most people that we meet traveling are very interesting and fun. We just love meeting and making new friends in our travels and always look forward to seeing them again.
4. Being Together
Dave and I are one of those strange couples that just love being together all the time.
My parents are the same. They ran a business together, they shared their hobbies and they have had a fantastic retirement sharing in activities together. Well, Dave and I are the same.
We love being together
We love how travel allows us to be together. We just love climbing together, suffering together, relaxing on the beach together or just sitting beside each other while we read a book. I know it sounds corny, but that is us. We love being together.
5. Documenting our Travels
Dave taking photos
We have always loved to travel but now that we blog about it, it has added a purpose to our travels. When we are hiking or biking, surfing or sailing we are always thinking about how to write about it, what photos to include and how to describe it.
We love to share our travel tips with whoever is willing to listen. We love to write and photograph, video and document our travels, just as much as we love to travel.
6. Pushing Ourselves to Our Limits
When we are at home we tend to become a little bit lazy. But when we travel we just love to see how far we can push ourselves. When we accomplish something extraordinary it is the most fulfilling thing on the planet.
