Keeping the Spirit of Travel Alive!
You may have heard the phrase "If the mountain will not come to Muhammad..."
I would translate that into "If we can't out into the world..."
Well, I'm happy to tell you that I've found a way to bring the world to you!
Like so many other travellers, my plans were thrown for a loop on Friday the 13th, when our Canadian government announced the non-essential travel advisory.
I was supposed to be on my bucket list trip in Tanzania, hiking from the Ngorongoro Crater into the great plains of the Serengeti.
Then I'd planned to travel to South Africa to arrange my mother's memorial. She had passed away peacefully a month ago and I wanted to say my good-byes.
Afterwards I was booked to attend an international luxury travel conference in Cape Town and enjoy a little downtime in my old home town. Instead, I’m spending my days at home - like everyone else - flattening the curve AND keeping the Spirit of Travel alive.

Luckily the human brain does adapt, and so I'm slowly getting over the shock that international borders are closed and that - for now - we'll be taking to Armchair Travel instead.
I do take solace in the fact that, in our wild places, birds carry on doing their thing, and further afield elephants, lions, tigers and jaguars go about their days as they always have. And they will be there, when we are ready to go exploring again, as will
TRΛVELBOECKER ΛDVENTURES.
For now, I will bring the world to you by sharing videos of my adventures around the world. You are welcome to pass them along and I trust that they will inspire you to keep the Spirit of Travel alive!
