High five! And WELCOME to The Traveller World Guide

Lindsay Hogg, who you will get to know as ‘Hogga’ (@TheHogga) is the President, Editor and El Captiano of this super-pants blog.

Officially created January of 2010, The Traveller is not your typical travel site. We need humor to live and try to implement it while sharing sweet travel tips from our first hand experiences. Although attempts to stay out of trouble are made, this is not usually the case…

Another important voice of The Traveller is the ramblings of Margyle aka Mike Argyle (Hogga’s old time friend from University). Margyle shares an array of emotions about travel. Why? Because it’s funny… and that’s how we roll!

The Traveller specializes in long term travel, but much of the knowledge provided can be applied to short term travellers. From how to protect your laptop – to the top attractions in Australia. We also highlight some helpful tips on how to deal with travel douchebags – to making friends travelling. We want to bestow you with valuable tips and information that can not only help you prior to your departure, but during your travels as well and hopefully make you laugh.

A Little Bit About Hogga

Happy Face!

February, 2010 I sold everything in my Toronto apartment, quit my job in the events industry and took off to travel the world for a year.

I grew up in the lovely suburbs of Ajax, Ontario, Canada and went to the University of Western Ontario for fine arts and like any degree, have since done nothing in that field.

More seriously, I’m a travel junkie & a tech nerd with a slightly concerning love for beer & wine. I have a great awareness of life outside the 9-5 and hope to aspire to be a hammock bum one day.

I heart running The Traveller and have two other awesomesauce blogs: www.ChickenChunk.com and www.ilovescheese.com (coming soon).

Some of my favorite activities include: happy hour, spooning, racing people on the elliptical, random treks, drinking coffee, chasing squirrels, battles to the death, pimpin hoes, sweet high fives, poking dead stuff with a stick, giggling, pillow fights, naps outside and campfires. BAM!

A Little Bit About Margyle

Margyle excited

Margyle grew up outside London, Ontario and also graduated from The University of Western Ontario…blah blah.He is a teacher and part time traveler who, from time to time, dabbles in writing.

He stole 8 sets of chopsticks from his favorite Japanese restaurant because he wanted a complete dinning set – then stole 12 more sets so he had spares.

He believes the only thing calories are a measurement of is taste awesomeness.

Some of Margyles favorite activities include: cat hunting. That is all.
