If you are planning or even dreaming about a 'Round the World' (RTW) trip you might find just about everything you need to successfully plan your adventure right here.
Seeing the world is a common dream, but putting together a RTW multi-continental trip takes a lot of time and hard work; there’s a lot of reading to do, destinations to search, money to save, gear to buy, and most of all flights and accommodations to secure before you write your “Goodbye Boss” letter.
I have been there!
In my last post I wanted to begin discussing how one can plan a trip around the world. It is not as hard as you think. This is my second post out of three, where I will try and help you make it happen, so that you can share this incredible experience, as I did.

In Rhéaume's previous article he took the time to share a few tips about a first visit to China. In this follow-up he suggests a few things to do and places to see in the same beautiful country. As usual, he provides some great photos of his personal travels.
China is a travel hot spot these days, but it is not such an easy country to travel in; travelers need to be patient, have a good sense of humor, need to arm themselves with a good phrase book and share their living space with 1.4 billion people.

Let me introduce some of my interests and limitations. I am not a professional writer on the Camino de Santiago nor an athlete; I am an amateur (in the original sense of the word). Overtime I hope that I've become a bit of a connoisseur. These last few years it has become almost an obsession and I have spent many leisure hours reading about Compostela. Walking is my physical activity of choice and hiking is my favorite outdoor activity.

Maple syrup delights are a very enjoyable attraction during early spring. Beginning of March, when the days get warmer (above 0 C) and the nights are still below freezing point the sap in our maple trees starts to rise. What does this mean?
It means that we, family, friends and friends of friends will be heading up to our maple farm in Saint-Joachim-de-Shefford and we will work and play hard for the next 6 weeks to produce the finest quality maple syrup in a manner that respects the land, the water and the environnement.
