Nova Scotia: Navy Blue and Ready for You

27 November, 2017 I went road tripping through Nova Scotia not too long ago, as part of a grand tour through the Canadian Maritimes, and I loved it. My only regret is not being able to stay longer and see more of the province. My road trip to Nova Scotia took me to the capital […]

Top Ten Things to Do in Barcelona

4 September, 2017 Barcelona is the capital of the Catalonia region in northeast Spain. It is a city that is somewhat notorious for its separatist politics but also admirable for its fierce pride in its Catalonian culture and Catalan language.

Top Ten Things to Do in Madrid

July 10, 2017 I went backpacking solo in Spain a few years ago (October 24-25, 2012), and one of the places I visited was Madrid. In contrast to Barcelona, which is a seaside city, Madrid is landlocked and improbably located right in the middle of arid, desert-like land. However, the city itself is […]

City of Vancouver––Love at First Sight (July 8-19, 23-27, 2016)

27 February, 2017: Arguably the most beautiful city in Canada, Vancouver is a must-see for visitors to Canada and Canadian residents alike. The city has a lot of offer, including some of the mildest weather in the country. It is true that it rains a lot and is often so foggy that you cannot make out […]

Siena: City of the Palio––Travelogue (October 12, 2016)

21 January, 2017 Siena is a beautiful and historic town in Tuscany just south of Florence. It is a must-see for any traveller to Tuscany––once you’ve fulfilled a prerequisite trip to Florence, I would urge. I visited Siena on a sunny autumn day, anticipating immediate and complete immersion in its historic charm. However, for me, […]
