Paparoa Track, cycling New Zealand
The Paparoa Track is officially New Zealand’s 10th GREAT WALK.
They really bungled that designation as one of the walks is actually a paddle.

Tulum – my FAVOURITE beach
Tulum, Mexico, 130km south of Cancun.
I was there in 2006.
At the time it was $6 / night to tent. $12 / night for a concrete cabana.
The only time I ever enjoyed Yoga.
The highlight for me was daily walks to the pre-Columbian Mayan walled city.
Cenotes are another local highlight.

CANCELLED my 1st flight since March

I was prepared. With a POINT 1 NANO mask. Supposedly N97.
Shield. And Shadyrays.
But Alberta is suffering badly from COVID. 1,828 new cases Friday and 15 additional deaths.
So I decided to stay on Vancouver Island at least through New Years.

Nations I’ve Visited
It’s been over 7 months since I got on an airplane. I’m starting to miss foreign travel.
Biggest surprise to me here is that I’ve never been to Russia.
I still have many nations to travel.
My Hiking YouTube channel
We love YouTube. My first upload was Mar 28, 2006.
Google bought the startup November 2006 for US$1.65 billion.
I spun off a hiking YouTube channel Jan 17, 2018.
Finally got it looking good October 2020. I’m studying how to post better videos in future. #CovidGoals
