There are times when sitting on the couch in front of the TV seems infinitely preferable to rolling the motorbike out of the garage for a ride or putting the boots on to go for a hike, yet it’s rare that one regrets the effort. In this collection of motorcycling road trips, garage misadventures, bike reviews and reminiscences, I try to convey my joy of riding, even when things don’t always work out perfectly. Although long distance travel has been severely curtailed by the Covid epidemic, I still managed to squeeze in a few short trips, encountering some interesting roads (some might argue ‘unsuitable’ for the bikes I was riding) and intriguing situations along the way. As baby-boomers like myself get older and the median age of motorcyclists climbs ever higher, it’s easy to find the couch more appealing than the bike seat. But don’t let those aching joints and wasted muscles hold you back. Life is short. The time is now.Do it while you still can. Read more

In a post-Trump world, it is undeniable, Canada is currently the bastion of western values, as well as home to many opportunities and amazing scenarios everywhere you go.

There is no difference between looking for a job in Canada and looking for a job in any other nation, it requires endurance, courage, willingness, and more endurance. Trying to achieve this today is easier than ever thanks to the internet and the other great communication tools of today. But, if that seems overwhelming, do not worry, we have carefully compiled a list of guidelines you can use to get a job before move to Canada. Read more

Imagine visiting the cities of New York City, Chicago, St Louis, Mobile, and Fort Lauderdale, all on the same trip, and all in your own boat. That’s not impossible, that’s the Great Loop! This 6,000-mile boating adventure is made possible by connecting oceans, rivers, bays, and lakes with canals and locks. Many boaters do this trip every year. Maybe you can too. This book describes the steps that author Doug Sanderson took to do the Great Loop. You will follow Doug through the yacht brokerages as he searches for the right boat. After the purchase of his boat “Slow Bells”, he becomes immersed in various boat improvement projects as he moves aboard and gets ready for his Great Loop adventure. Early shakedown cruises to Albermarle Sound, Lake Champlain, and the Intracoastal Waterway give a taste of adventures to come. Finally, after a winter on the Georgia coast, Doug’s own Great Loop adventure begins. In this book, you will read about the marshlands of the East Coast, the protected anchorages and open ocean between Norfolk and New York City, and the Erie and Oswego Canal systems. Then it is north into Canada to explore the Trent Severn Waterway and beautiful Georgian Bay. Back in the USA, Doug will take you through the trials and tribulations of Lake Michigan, then through the steel and glass canyon of downtown Chicago into the Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee river systems. From Mobile on the Gulf Coast, you will journey past everything from high rise condominiums to egrets and alligators as Doug and Slow Bells head back to the Atlantic Coast. Who knows, this book may be the first step toward your own Great Loop adventure. Read more

Janice Matichuk first set foot on her island in Quetico Provincial Park in 1985. Located near the end of Minnesota’s iconic Gunflint Trail, this remote park is the heart of North America’s “canoe country.” Decades later, and enduring beyond her untimely passing in the summer of 2020, Matichuk’s legacy includes being the longest serving interior ranger in the history of the park.Over the course of three decades, Janice raised two children on the island. She saved the lives of canoeists who tumbled into the frigid border lakes of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Ontario’s Quetico. She had been charged by moose, canoed nearly every inch of the 1.2 million acre park, and watched many young paddlers grow into adults.This is a story about life inside one of North America’s most remote places. It is also a reflection of a woman who broke through barriers and refused to conform to societal norms. At its heart, however, it is an examination of the challenges that life presents. It is a testament to the fact that people’s experiences—good, bad, and on idyllic wilderness islands—all have much in common. Read more

There is a fine line between optimism and stupidity. Sometimes I wonder whether I cross that line too often. But what is life without a little risk? It's too easy to sit back and avoid all jeopardy and discomfort, and I suppose that's all right as long as you're comfortable with a life without spice. Life is short enough without wasting it away on the couch.My 1972 Moto Guzzi Eldorado retains her position as Queen of my garage and my first choice for adventures into the Canadian wilds. Despite any minor mechanical problems which arise, almost always as the result of her owner's incompetence, she gets me home when it really counts - this time from adventures along part of the Trans-Canada Adventure Trail in northeastern Ontario, and on backroad rambles closer to home. Yet she is not alone in the garage. In this, my eleventh motorcycle travel book, three other bikes have a part to play. Who would have thought that a modern road bike would handle gravel byways so well? And who could have guessed that heavy old touring bikes like the Honda Goldwing GL1500 could be trusted to convey you along winding gravel roads to mountain trails in Quebec and New Brunswick?Without being entirely irresponsible, I intend to keep riding, exploring and having fun as long as my body and spirit allow. I hope the following stories convey something of the enthusiasm I have for older bikes, quiet roads and the occasional mild hazard. Read more

When you’re willing to step outside your comfort zone, the world awaits. In 2007, Matt Fox—a recent graduate who studied strategic decision-making in university—found himself alone on the side of a highway with no plan other than to see where his thumb and the road would take him. For the next two years, he would travel across Canada to Alaska and back, experiencing life in a way most people never will…a life beyond his comfort zone. Along the way, he encounters adventures he never imagined—sleeping under the stars, sneaking into drug-fueled music festivals, and working at ski resorts and local farms to earn enough for his next meal. He also confronts danger—and his own mortality—from a life-threatening injury in Whistler, to a confessed murderer in Banff, to a hungry grizzly in Alaska. But most importantly, Fox learns that life isn’t about getting to the destination, but enjoying each moment along the way. From feeling like an invisible outcast on day one to a man comfortable in his own skin no matter the circumstance, The Hitchhiker Man is the unforgettable story of how one man got lost on the road, and ultimately found himself. "A cross between Fear and Loathing and Into the Wild" Read more
