Road Trip Ready: An Ode to Boredom

by Greg

If I'm honest: one of my favourite things about long road trips is the boredom. Staring out at a prairie horizon that's coloured by the setting sun, or climbing up series of mountain switchbacks, I feel like my mind tunes into a different frequency. At first it seems like nothing but white noise and fuzz—but invariably, lightning strikes. And I know that some people meditate , and that this guy swims, but the road has a special place in my heart. Even where memories of the destination have ...

Sea to Sky Gondola Squamish Adventure – Vancouver Excursions

by Tazim Damji

Sea to Sky Gondola

To say that experiencing the Sea to Sky Gondola was a transformative experience, would be an understatement. It's hard not to feel all the things I most love feeling: alive, free, adventurous, exploratory, and joyful, when I'm spending time in nature. Doing so in a whole new setting over 800 metres above sea level (even higher than the Stawamus Chief trail I'd hiked a few years ago, which is nearby and can be seen from the top of the gondola and a viewing platform) increases those feelings ...

When Adventure Calls—Answer with Nature’s Path Qi’a Smartfoods Bars (with CAN & US only $100 ARV Giveaway ends Aug. 27)

by Tazim Damji

Nature's Path Qi'a Superfoods Bars

I like to think of myself as an adventurous, exploring type person. That doesn't mean that I spend my evenings and weekends on one of the many awesome Vancouver-area hiking trails, out paddling in the surrounding water, or rock climbing. I'm an adventurer who loves being out in nature (on some of the less-challenging trails (though, I have been known to go on backcountry camping trips), camping, having a picnic, or going for a walk outside), but also loves more urban adventures. Whatever type of ...

My GMC Acadia Denali Adventure #ChevyDrive

by Tazim Damji

2014 GMC Acadia Denali

I love my car, but she doesn't get jealous when I drive other vehicles—so I took the opportunity to check out the new 2014 GMC Acadia Denali. I had a little #ChevyDrive adventure recently. It should be pretty obvious that a vehicle like the GMC Acadia Denali is family-friendly. There's room for 7 people in it! Of course, there are other types of families that don't necessarily have little ones that need to be put in to their car seats and strapped in. How about a group of ladies who want to ...

A Grilling Alternative — BIC FlameDisk

by Tazim Damji

BIC FlameDisk makes outdoor grilling convenient and portable, as I came to know using the products. Each single use FlameDisk comes ready to use in the box. My family enjoys grilling at public parks, but the clean-up is frustrating. On top of that—who wants to grill when someone else's charcoal is in the BBQ? With FlameDisk, set-up is easy. Summer is just starting, and I have plans to do quite a bit of grilling in the next few months. I am really looking forward to grilling corn, ...

by Tazim Damji

inter-varsity-camp

This post brought to you by Inter-Varsity Summer Camps. March break has just ended, and there's still a while yet to go before summer holidays begin. It was around this time of year, when I was younger, that I started looking forward to all the fun things that I wanted to do over the summer months. Rather than sitting inside and wasting away the beautiful months, I felt lucky to be able to go to summer camps, where I could learn how to do new things, make new friends and enjoy the lovely ...

Fighting Cabin Fever in Vancouver

by Tazim Damji

vancouver cabin fever

Though I rarely suffer from boredom, due to the fact that I am interested in too many things, I do tend to get restless. Being cooped up inside for an extended period of time will always leave me wanting to get out of the house, if only to go for a walk. Going for a walk is definitely a great way to combat cabin fever. Walking helps you clear your head, gives you exercise and makes you happy. My friend Isra advocates bundling up and going out for a walk, even with 3 kids and several feet of snow ...
