A former financial planner from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada who has been obsessed with travel ever since he and his wife dropped it all to enjoy a seven month long honeymoon in Southeast Asia back in 2000. He has blogged extensively about their travels since day one but it was only in 2011 that he sat down and focused on writing a full length book. He also owns a bike and several pillows. His pet peeves are television commercials for other television shows and getting stung by things. He hates onions yet loves onion rings. He plans to continue travelling the world and writing whatever pops into his head. He likes turtles.

The 15 Best Thai Islands: How to Choose the Perfect One

We have always had a huge soft spot for islands, probably for the same reason as so many of our other travel preferences – growing up on the Canadian prairies. Sure, we have islands, but they are basically just tiny rocks in the middle of remote northern lakes. Not exactly Iceland or Japan. So maybe… Read More »The 15 Best Thai Islands: How to Choose the Perfect One Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Dean Johnston  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“historical statistics tell us that July and August are the busy times on the Camino, June close but somewhat quieter, and that the shoulder seasons of May and September are ideal – warm without being too hot, and quieter without any danger of albergues and restaurants closing. April and October are seen as pushing it, weather-wise and from an infrastructure standpoint, while November to March are only for those hardy fools who either relish frozen appendages and feel that hiking 800 kilometres isn’t already enough of a challenge, or are just way too busy the rest of the year with their job as assistant manager of paddling pool security.”
