Montreal is Canada’s “European” city. It’s one of the five largest French-speaking cities in the world, and at one point it was even the capital of the country. The second-largest city in the country, it’s charming, historic, and unlike Canada’s other large cities. Personally, I think it’s one of the best cities in Canada. The […]

Dublin Travel Guide
I love Dublin. While the city isn’t the prettiest in the world (and on a cloudy day it can feel downright gloomy), there is so much literary and cultural history here you can’t help but feel inspired as you explore. It’s a lively city brimming with traditional pubs, live music and dancing (so much Irish […]
Mexico Travel Guide
While most people visit Mexico for its big tourist centers like Tulum, Cabo, Cancun, or Cozumel, there’s a lot more to the country than just its luxurious resorts. Now, I’ll be honest: I was late to visiting Mexico. But when I did, I fell in love with it. Mexico is an incredible destination with a […]
Belgium Travel Guide
Belgium may be small (it’s one of the smallest countries in Europe) but when it comes to things to see and do it punches well above its weight. The country boasts over 1,000 breweries and Belgian brewers were some of the first in the world to perfect the beer-brewing process. And the country’s chocolate rivals […]
Nova Scotia Travel Guide
Nova Scotians like to boast that their province is the friendliest place in Canada. They might just be right because you’ll feel welcome the minute you step foot in this gorgeous Maritime province.

Brussels Travel Guide
Brussels is a bit of an underdog city in Europe. Most travelers speed through on their way to Paris or Amsterdam. Or they skip the city altogether. I think that’s a mistake. As the administrative center of the European Union, Brussels can feel a bit “stuffy” — but don’t let that fool you. The city […]

Vancouver Travel Guide
Vancouver is one of my favorite cities in the world. It has the best of both worlds: you can be in an urban environment one second and then, a few minutes later you can be out in the wilderness hiking beautiful mountains. With its world-class food scene, tasty craft breweries, popular markets on Granville Island, […]
Madagascar Travel Guide
Madagascar, a country famed for its lemurs, massive baobab trees, birding, and jungles, offers visitors a rich playground to explore. I was enthralled by the country’s beauty during my visit. There are sweeping canyons and gorges, grand waterfalls, and a diverse landscape that spans the entire island. One day you’re in a tropical jungle, the […]
Central America Travel Guide
Surrounded by the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the slender land bridge of Central America runs from Mexico to South America and is made up of seven countries: Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Political and civil unrest in the 1980s kept most tourists away for decades (people never forget bad news), […]
Ukraine Travel Guide
In recent years, Ukraine has evolved into a popular budget travel destination. While it might not have the polish and attractions you find in Western Europe, it more than makes up for that with cheap prices, beautiful landscapes, historic buildings, and sparse crowds. Ukraine gained independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 […]
