The HoliDaze

The HoliDaze Some people eat, others try therapy. I travel. ǝʌıʇɔǝdsɹǝd ɹǝɥʇouɐ ɯoɹɟ sƃuıɥʇ ?

The HoliDaze is comprised of over 100 different authors (most of whom have their own travel blogs) working to promote and inspire responsible foreign travel. Because there are so many authors we tend to write about a lot of varied topics, however our primarily focus is on adventure travel, off the beaten path destinations and solo travel advise. There is also one corner of the site that is it's own separate blog, The HoliDaze Blog. That is the fevered mutterings of Derek Freal, the HoliDaze founder and now six year permanent nomad. Derek is also making the transition from doing videos for clients to videos for himself -- if he can find the time. Although he has already done several projects in the past in varied countries, his biggest one is going on right now: the mother f'n Rickshaw Run. Check out the HoliDaze YouTube page for daily clips from the road and a nightly recap during the run.

Terrible experience but helluva story. Sadly I just cannot have a boring life, or boring travels 😅
