Get inspired by stories and reflections on travel as an experience, a lifestyle, and an identity.
Israel’s fascinating history and diverse culture make it an excellent tourist destination. It’s also filled with breathtaking landscapes that take you back to the time of Moses. There are plenty of sights and sounds to immerse yourself in, and a mere pit-stop won’t suffice.
Greetings from Koh Phangan!
The island has dried out and I was able to get out my first video of 2019! It's just a short note this week about our upcoming events and webinar:
As mentioned in the video:
More information about our Oakville brunch here
More information about our Mississauga dinner here
Both of these events are meant to be very casual, a chance to meet some other travellers, say hello to myself and Veronica, and talk about travel! I hope you'll join us should you have the chance.
What do you think your chances are of setting foot on another world?
Not so high, I’m guessing. You might know that there have been exactly 12 people who have set foot on the Moon since 1969 - and to date, that’s it for exploring our solar system in person.
Here's the replay from our January 10 Webinar about our upcoming tour of Japan. Gordon talks a bit about what makes Japanese culture so interesting, the flow and highlights of the tour, and answers some questions from members on the webinar.

For a romantic, luxurious, and adventurous journey, nothing comes close to the experience aboard the Trans-Siberian Railway. This network of railways is the longest in the world, spanning eight times zones and connecting Russia with Mongolia, China, and even North Korea.
Happy New Year!
I wanted to start the new year with a short message about community and connection, and tell you about the goal we have for you here at Wheel & Anchor.
I was blessed to get to spend some time catching up with old friends and family over the holidays, and I was asked a few times why I started this travel community and what we plan to do with all these travellers who've joined.
You’ve seen this scene so many times, and in so many movies, that it’s an absolute cliché.
The narrow rock canyon opens, and the lofty facade of a rose-coloured stone building is revealed, an enormous structure of pillars supporting a pediment upon which even more pillars rise.
It goes without saying, it’s best to savor them while exploring the wonderful destinations in Croatia. Travelling across this melting pot of cultures will give you a taste of Croatia's highly diverse and well-preserved culinary traditions.
Whether you’re going on a gastronomic adventure this side of the Adriatic or are merely curious about the culinary specialties of the Croats, there are several tasty dishes and delicious desserts that will nourish your journey.
Greetings from Thailand for my final update of 2018!
Every year around this time, a few of my friends and I call or message each other and ask some variation of these questions as we consider the year that was and the year ahead:
What from last year will you bring into this one?
What will you leave behind?
And what do you plan on doing more of in the year ahead?
It's been an adventure starting Wheel & Anchor this year, and I can't wait to share the exciting things we have coming up in 2019. I'm deeply grateful to all who have helped me start, grow, and maintain this wonderful community of travellers.
