About Us


There was a huge sale on a budget airline. Aside from the taxes, the tickets were practically free. Then I made the mistake of looking through the "Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada" website to figure out if I needed any visas. Manually clicking each country and looking for the visa information took up mission critical time. After an hour of visa research, the cheap plane tickets were sold out...

A few travellers met in a LonelyPlanet recommended hostel. After getting a little too friendly with each other, they decided to take a bus together to a neighboring country. After some effort, they figured out that one traveller needed a visa, which could be obtained on arrival. When they arrived at the border, they found out that visa on arrivals are only issued at the airport...

I just wanted to know if I needed a visa to go to Indonesia. After Googling for a bit, I found conflicting answers on the forums. Some of the posts were even from 1998...

I ride the bus across the border every month. The bus drops you off at the border so you can go through immigration, and then wait for you on the other side. After waiting for half an hour, the bus drivers take off, with or without you. A few times, the people sitting next to me on the bus were left behind, never to be seen again...
