- How to use a squat toilet. This is an extremely valuable skill and something everyone should know how to do.
- We need to take care of the environment. We only have one planet and we all have to share.
- Always check entry requirements for each country you are visiting or you may end up spending 22 hours in the Delhi airport on a connection.
- If you think you have contracted a parasite called giardia, do not go to work on Monday and google “Beaver Fever”.
- In Ecuador to order water with carbonation you say “agua con gas” but in Mexico that means “water with farts”.
- When you don’t shower for over a week people might compliment you on how shiny your hair is.
- French people really are rude. But, when shopping at a market in Nice, marching up to the french lady selling crafts and telling her you think she was rude to your husband probably will not improve the situation.

- If you want an authentic travel experience, don’t spend it with a bunch of other Canadians (or Americans) at an all-inclusive. In fact don’t book an all-inclusive ever. And don’t get me started on cruise ships.
- If we had never travelled, we probably could have paid off our mortgage by now, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Except maybe I’d travel more.

Kevin: It's not just Canadian airlines that don't seem to get the concept of loading a plane from back to front. And it's easy to make a blog. I just learned how yesterday!
