About Me
My name is Baden Smith and I live in Vancouver, Canada.
My wife Barb and I share a passion for travel and we have spend most of the past dozen or so years travelling to many places in the world - usually about once or twice a year.
The "Excellent Adventure" phrase was first used by us in 1999 when we travelled to New Zealand and the Cook Islands. It was on this trip that I first started sending our first Excellent Adventure journals by email to our friends and family as we travelled through that area of the world. On every trip since then, we have continued to send out these emails to an ever-expanding list of people.
On our first trip to France in the fall of 2004 I decided that I wanted to move the whole Excellent Adventure format into an online blog and publish more articles throughout the year instead of just when we're on the road. This idea was evolved into this web site and the site officially launched on Feb. 1st, 2005.
