If you've been following I've Bean Travelling for awhile, you will know that most of my travel is very much centred around gastronomy. Mr. Chuckles and I absolutely love to go on food tours as an avenue to discover new cuisines, meet other travellers, and see local sights, all at the same time. I've mentioned [...]
As I am currently scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of travel blog content, I thought about writing up a short post about my past resort vacation to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. However, whilst pondering that post, I remembered that my experience on the flight there was perhaps a lot more 'exciting' than [...]
Back in late January before the world completely imploded, there were already stirrings of a brewing outbreak. At that time, COVID-19 was primarily contained in China but many people travelling to surrounding areas in Asia were becoming concerned about the safety of proceeding with their trips. You may recall me mentioning that my mother was [...]
I'm bored. The province of Ontario is finally looking at a gradual re-opening of the economy, but the process is going to be a slow one. This is surely appropriate, but it unfortunately means that my beloved hobby of travel planning is still on hold since I don't know when I will be going anywhere! [...]
In the post I wrote a few months back outlining some destinations that I am hoping to revisit in the future, I mentioned that Mr. Chuckles and I were planning a trip to London, England this year. This would cap off a tour through Iceland and Scotland, sometime in early to mid-May. Obviously, the world [...]
Last month, I suggested to Mr. Chuckles that he consider starting a blog entitled 'Travelling the McWorld' in order to document his habit of eating at McDonald's in every international destination we visit. He scoffed at the idea of joining the blogging world, so I've decided to write this post in his stead. In doing [...]
With self-isolation and social distancing being all the rage these days, most of us are probably spending a lot of time in front of the television. I sure am. Here are a few series I've been watching to satisfy my travel itch, at least a little bit, vicariously. For the foodie Parts Unknown Hosted by [...]
As we approach our departure to Southeast Asia, Mr. Chuckles and I are doing some final preparations for our first big trip of 2020. Unfortunately, some of the excitement about our impending international adventure has been dampened by anxiety over this Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. We were supposed to be travelling in a group of three [...]
With all the news about the Wuhan coronavirus, I have become a little anxious about my upcoming trip to Asia. So far, there are two confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV in Vietnam, with further global spread anticipated as Lunar New Year approaches and more international travel ensues. Hopefully the massive quarantines happening in central China will [...]
Now that we've started a new year and decade, it's time to consider my travel goals and start building up that wish list. My world travels only started in earnest within the last 3 to 4 years, so as someone building up my 'country count' I am still at the stage of visiting new places [...]
