    8 Reasons I Can’t Get Churchill Off My Mind

    This summer I had the opportunity to travel to the mecca of arctic adventures. Churchill, Manitoba – home of the polar bears, the belugas, tundra buggy’s, zodiac adventures, and some of the friendliest Canadians you’ll come to meet. In this small town of less than 1000 people, travellers from all over the world board VIA…

    Grilled Cheese, Mill Street Beer, A Museum of Shoes, & a Heckuva Time

    Toronto! I somehow end up in this magnificent city at least a few times a year. Despite meandering through it occasionally, I’ve never been back and not found something unique and new to see, do, or try. The Cross-Canada Travel Blogger Tour, put on by the Canadian Tourism Commission, not only gave me the opportunity…

  • Toronto Loves Honeybees!

    Toronto Loves Honeybees!

    The shoo-ing of bees is a rather normal thing for most. Who wants to be stung by some little pest? I too am guilty of cursing at those little, fuzzy, yellow & black bugs. While my ignorant hand is swatting the air aimlessly like a fool, there is a pro bee movement that is bringing…

    The Haunted Jail Hostel of Ottawa

    I walk gently down the creaking skinny corridors, grazing the smooth black iron bars of the jail cells that once housed the guilty, the innocent, the crazy, the murderous, and the drunk. Some of these cellars would have been the final form of accommodations as several of the detainees in these cells were put to their…

    Camping on a Cliff at Hole in the Wall Campgrounds – A New Brunswick Experience

    Looking out from the edge of a cliff, I watched as the Grand Manan ferry sails over the horizon, off in the distance to my right is the Swallowtail Lightstation, shining light on it’s tiny corner of the Bay of Fundy. My eyes wander down from the horizon to my footing. A jagged 15 meter…

    A Weekend on New Brunswicks Grand Manan Island

    Hopping onto the massive Grand Manan Ferry from Blacks Harbour, New Brunswick – it’s hard not to anticipate what lies on the the largest island in the Bay of Fundy. A light fog had settled over the water, limiting visibility. We overheard from some locals that it would open up by the time we got…

    3 Great Ways to Save Money while Backpacking Canada

    Canada is a great place to backpack, but let’s face it… it’s not exactly cheap. Many backpackers who travel this northern country recount past trips to Thailand or Cambodia, where they could comfortably live off of $10 to $15 a day. While you’ll be hard pressed to come close to that type of budget while…

  • Travel Website Review: EasyToBook.com – Compare hotels and save! [Sponsored]

    Hotel comparison sites are pretty much a dime a dozen these days. Hotel and airline websites seem to come and go faster than you can review. Some succeed, others flop. Some emulate, others innovate. The goal of a hotel comparison is to ultimately make sales, but also provide a unique and intuitive user experience for…
