Ontario, Canada

What we did:
Camping in Ontario Provincial and National Parks.

Ontario Parks are mostly near the Great Lakes of Ontario. Visiting any of these beautiful and well maintained parks is the best way to enjoy Ontario, and to get away from a busy Toronto life.

Highlight:
Backpacking the Highland Trail in Algonquin Provincial Park.
This particular trail has 19km and 35km loops. The campgrounds are well maintained and you'll always be near the lakes.

Alberta, Canada

"Matterhorn" of the Rockies

What we did:
Scrambling in the Canadian Rockies.

Mountains in the Rockies are spectacular. Witnessing the views in this area for even a short time will be tattooed in your mind forever.
Take a short hike, camp, or scramble the mountains for best experience.

Highlight:
Backpacking in the Skoki area of Lake Louise.
For this trip, we set a base camp and bagged a few summits. It's a less crowded area of Lake Louise. Very quiet and very beautiful.
Lodges are also available in the area if you choose not to camp.

South Korea

Geumneung Beach, Jeju-Do Island

What we did:
Work, Travel, Hike and Camp.

South Korea is a small country but offers a lot for travellers. It is 70% mountaineous and 200% over populated... well Seoul is. But even with so many people, nature here is still an awesome sight.

Highlight:
Backpacking the island of Jeju-Do.
This island is in the southern tip of Korea, and it's a 'must visit' place.
We toured the entire island in 6 days and camped on the beaches for 4 nights.

Philippines 2007

Mt. Banahaw Grotto

What we did:
