It’s been a while, and a lot has changed. 2023 is already well under-way as I type this, and my surroundings stand out to me as unusually beautiful. Being Canadian from the bilingual part of the country, there’s been a surprisingly large amount to learn about Canada’s west coast; it’s both nothing like the part … Continue reading
Let’s face it; resorts get a bad rap. No one who claims to “love travel” openly admits to loving resorts, right? Since I’ve started writing this blog, I’ve noticed a big explosion in people who love to travel but hate resorts. I was one of them, for a long time. When I visited Cuba with … Continue reading
Today is, for lack of better words, a day to celebrate families. In Canada, it’s called “family day”, which is a literal and accurate representation of what this day is supposed to be all about. It might be Canada’s best statutory holiday if only because it feels like a free three-day weekend; in a country … Continue reading
It’s been a while since my last update, and it could be because life has altered quite drastically recently. In the span of 4-5 months, I’ve started a new job, moved to a new part of the city, and changed my routine. It’s been a major challenge learning how to adapt to all of these new … Continue reading
There are some cities whose reputations surpass reality. We tend to believe that these places are going to shake us to our very core, and that we’re going to walk away remembering them for the rest of our lives. These are the heavyweights of the travel world – the cities that never sleep, and/or never cease … Continue reading
It’s been quite a while since I’ve last written about any travel, but this has not been due to a lack of trips. It’s been the opposite, actually, leaving me with a lot to write about. Most recently, I was recently lucky enough to visit a famous American city (for the first time). The first … Continue reading
For anyone who’s lived in Ottawa, Toronto, or even other various parts of Canada, it’s quite clear that Ottawa and Toronto are two very different cities that long to be the most important city in Canada. While Torontonians might laugh at the idea of there being any rivalry between their great city and any other … Continue reading
When moving to a new city, there are a few things you instantly notice as being different from what you’re used to. Not too long ago, I wrote a similar post about Madrid. Now, despite being back in Canada, I’ve moved to Toronto, which is a city I’ve never lived in before. It’s considered to … Continue reading
One year ago, I remember contemplating where I would be a year from then. Whilst in my Madrid apartment, I kept thinking to myself, “I want to try Toronto next”. I had resigned myself to the fact that while I loved living in Spain, I wanted to live in my home country. Not only that, though; … Continue reading
As of late, I’ve had quite a few interesting conversations with a few people – all of whom were at different ages – about the concept of age itself. As a native of North America, I had never before thought much about the desire to be eternally young. However, during my time in Spain, I began … Continue reading
