Jetboating. Just another one of those crazy Kiwi ideas. And like all of the best, it works, and it's a pile of fun.
I'm a big fan of "learning by doing," so I hopped aboard a pair of jetboats during my "Travel With a Local" trip in New Zealand with my partners in crime Dave and Lauren. Remember, I did it for you.

Read MoreI'll be honest. Wearing a dress out in public is getting to be a pretty natural thing for me nowadays.
In August 2012, my father, brother and I hiked for 5 days and over 70km along the Berg Lake Trail in the Canadian Rockies, and we did it while wearing school girl dresses. Why? We did it as part of Do It in a Dress, an initiative by the Australian-based organization One Girl, who's programs help support scholarships for young girls and women entrepreneurs in Sierra Leone. In every way possible, it was a huge success.
This year we multiplied and became the "Climbers Without Pants."
Amongst a group of hundreds walking down the dusty street in Nyaung U (Bagan), you'd think the group of kids dressed as zombies and performing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" would be the focus of this piece.

There are a lot of ways to pay the bills in this world. Some just choose more dramatic ways than others.
Take this man for instance. He's set up shop working the street in the center of Siem Reap is his own way, and he's about to put on a show.

So what better excuse to pick a few of my favorites to share with you?

And I was at ground zero: Post-apocalyptic downtown Saskatoon.
Read MoreIt's been more than 7 months since I last updated you with what's been happening around here. Seven countries and four continents later, and I've just returned for a short visit to my "home and native land," Canada.
Read MorePacked like sardines in a sold out club that has mediocre sound. It's hot... like sauna hot. The rain? It's coming from inside this low ceiling-ed building and is provided by the perspiration of the crowd. I'd dance like there was no one watching, but there's no room to move anyways. We all just sort of shuffle in place.
But the music is good, and that's about all you can ask for.
The location is Berlin, Germany. The music is by UK producer/DJ "Bonobo" and his live band. The live band is a bit of a...
Read MoreWhile most so-called "street art" is barely a hair more special than comic-sans is to the font world, on occasion you do stumble upon something special.
