What comes with each new year is the challenge to take advantage of the calendar, vacation days, and the funds set out in front of you. No matter what level of these stated items you have, you can figure out how to plan (as well as let happen) adventures.

So far this year a trip to Mexico (largely possible by air miles) was planned in. The adventure on this trip was much more of an urban exploration then some wilderness tramp. Next up was a trip to Peru where we decided to do a little more planning ourselves to cut down on costs (as compared to a trip to New Zealand in the previous year). The trip to Peru was my first experience in South America and I hope to get back there as soon as possible. Up coming adventures/trips will most likely include, exploring the Bruce Peninsula, and adventures involving a canoe.

My every day adventure is biking in Toronto in a variety of weather, and traffic conditions. The road surfaces and bike lanes in Toronto are nice, but there could always be more. Riding on the urbane trail: your dangers are cars, foot traffic not watch their crossing signals, and street car rails embedded in the road surface. Toronto is fairly bicycle friendly, but there are many automobile drivers which believe that it is justifiable to break traffic laws in order to make up for bad planning. On the flip side there are many cyclist which suffer from a condition known as, "Am I a vehicle or a pedestrian?"
