Real Trips. Honest Reviews. Better Travel

We’re a Canadian husband-and-wife team with a shared passion for exploring the world, discovering extraordinary places, and helping others make the most of their travels. From the historic cities of Europe and the beaches of Portugal to the mountains of Canada, the markets of Asia, and the deserts of the Middle East, we’ve experienced the world together, one adventure at a time.

We created My Return Ticket to share what we’ve discovered, what surprised us, and what we’d do differently. Our travel guides, road trips, videos, and reviews are built around real experiences, honest opinions, and practical advice.

That’s why we share the highlights, the disappointments, the unexpected discoveries, and the practical details that help you plan your own adventures with confidence.

Our Ticket Rating: Would We Go Back?

We believe the ultimate test of a great travel experience is simple: Would we return? Our exclusive My Return Ticket Rating scores experiences from one to five tickets, considering quality, service, value for money, and lasting memories. Five tickets means an experience was exceptional and one we’d happily recommend and return to ourselves. We have more than 500 pages of travel ideas, stories, guides and amazing experiences.


Need Ideas For Your Next Vacation? We Have The Answers

We share honest insights on unforgettable adventures, must-see destinations, where to eat well, and where to get a genuinely great night’s sleep. Every experience is personally visited, tested, and rated using our exclusive Ticket Rating system, so you know exactly what’s worth your time and what isn’t.
