SunJack 14W +8000mAh Battery

SunJack Powers My Travels

Posted on November 22, 2016 by Lesley | 0 Comments

I like to think that I travel with pretty much all the gear that I need. I have chargers and adapters, cameras and a phone, a computer, memory cards and card adapters, and a great backpack to carry it all. I found, during a recent trip to Joshua Tree, that there was something I was missing. With extremely limited service…

Cabin Zero Vintage Navy Bag

Perfectly Sized CabinZero

Posted on November 7, 2016 by Lesley | 0 Comments

I needed a new backpack and there were several features I was’t willing to compromise. It needed to be small (fits in the cabin of an airplane), lightweight, and it definitely needed to be durable enough for our rigorous travels. I found the CabinZero Vintage backpack and it’s close to the perfect bag. With a tracking system, lockable zippers, and bold…

The Ultimate Travel Watch – Casio Edifice EQB-600

Posted on August 19, 2016 by Lesley | 0 Comments

I never have enough time. I never have the right time. I can never remember what time it is at home in California or in Nova Scotia when I’m calling my grandparents or Alberta for my parents. Gosh! Time is a struggle for me. I always wear a watch even if I have my phone with me. I bought a…

2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

The Speedy Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Posted on July 31, 2016 by Lesley | 0 Comments

California is the wildest ride of my life. Every day, I could do something different here. I’m in love with the state. Last weekend, I decided to drive to Temecula for a hot air balloon adventure coupled with fine dining, entertainment, and accommodations at Pechanga Resort and Casino. The drive from my home in Aliso Viejo is a little over…

2017 Hyundai Elantra Eco

2017 Hyundai Elantra Eco Review

Posted on July 17, 2016 by Lesley | 1 Comments

My adventures last weekend took me to the sky (and plummeting through it) and to the mountains. With so much driving, I thought it was the best time to test drive an eco car and the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Eco made the cut. DriveShop gave me one for the week to test out and I hit the road ready for any…

2016 Volvo XC60

2016 Volvo XC60 T6 Review

Posted on June 18, 2016 by Lesley | 0 Comments

I’ve been test driving a lot of vehicles lately thanks to DriveShop and discovering what I like and dislike about cars, vans, and SUVs. I recently checked out the 2016 Volvo XC60 T6 and fell in love with a number of the features like the cargo capacity, sunroof, comfort, and safety record. There were a few “misses” with the Volvo XC60 that surprised me…

Hyundai Sonata Sport road trip to Palm Springs

2016 Hyundai Sonata Sport Road Trip

Posted on April 28, 2016 by Lesley | 0 Comments

We took a 2016 Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0T for a full day road trip from our home in Aliso Viejo to Palm Springs. With highway, mountain, and side street driving, it was the ideal opportunity to test out the comfort, performance, and features of the Sonata. For a midsize sedan, it has plenty of passenger room, comfortable seating, and added storage…

2016 Mazda 3 Review

Posted on February 26, 2016 by Lesley | 0 Comments

I’d forgotten how much I love driving a sporty car. This week, I took the 2016 Mazda3 for a test drive and I loved the handling, the style, the comfort, and the extra features. It’s been awhile since I drove a 6-speed manual gearbox and its responsiveness was one of the most notable features of the experience. I could park…

XShot Pro is the Ultimate Camera Extender

Posted on November 10, 2015 by Lesley | 0 Comments

There are very few things that I brought on every trip this year, but my XShot GoPro Pole was always there. From Antarctica to Manitoba, from cage diving with great white sharks to trekking gorillas in Uganda, my XShot Pro camera extender, along with my GoPro, was the first thing I packed. It’s made for action shots and outdoor activities with…

Ivar Revel Backpack- Preparing for a trip

Revel in Comfort & Superior Design – The Ivar Revel Backpack

Posted on November 7, 2013 by Lesley | 0 Comments

I always get asked how I manage to travel for extended vacations with only a backpack, especially if I’m traveling internationally. You’d be overwhelmingly surprised what you can fit in a well organized bag. I carry my computer, my camera and a few lenses, my GoPro, my phones, chargers/adapters, clothes, shoes, and toiletries. The Ivar Revel backpack holds all of my…
