[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="580" caption="Source: icaribbeantravel.com"][/caption] I can give advice on backpacking, what places to visit, how to travel from point A to B and so on. But I know absolutely nothing cruises (especially last-minute cruises). Probably because they don't inspire me all that much. I see it as an artificial way to visit places as well as it being overpriced for what yo ...

The world is as exciting as you make it. You can be kicking back on a beach sipping cocktails one day, and be jumping out of a plane the next. We’ve got theme parks and spas, bikes and fast cars, goldfish and sharks. Everybody enjoys the world in different way, but if dodgems and rollercoasters just aren’t enough for you, then you might want to try these knuckle-whitening suggestions from wish.co.uk: [capti ...

  Never would I have imagined to find sand dunes in Canada. To entertain my friend's best friend from Argentina, a bunch of us friends decided to take a week-end trip to Sandbanks, in Edward county (Ontario).  After 4.5 hours drive from Montreal, we decided to head directly to the beach. When we first arrived, I didn't think much of  West Lake, the west part of Sandbanks National Park. But as we kept on wal ...

I don't know how I should begin to describe this phenomenal concert! When I first bought my tickets for this concert almost two years ago,  I didn't have grandiose expectations. Obviously I was expecting it to be good. It's Bono for crying out loud. But never had I imagined what I saw. The first adventure of the day was getting to the stadium. It was a temporary stadium that was built especially for this co ...

With reality television taking over traditional shows, its becoming increasingly difficult not to get addicted. I must admit that I never really liked them but there are two new reality shows that are getting my attention.

Once in a while on my lunch breaks from work, I try eating something different. Usually I go for sushi since I love it so much, but lately I have been trying a few Vietnam dishes. Even though I am still in my home country, I find trying many different cuisines is always fun. Though one of the best parts about traveling that I seem to love, is actually trying the many different kind of dishes other countries ...

While some like to enjoy a long week-end quietly at home, others like me are in a car driving to a destination. This year, I decided to spend Canada Day at Hampton Beach (New Hampshire, US). With no expectations, we were 4 girls in a car driving for almost 6 hours to enjoy some sun, beach and adventure in Hampton Beach. Where to begin? Safe car ride, check. Hotel with ocean view, check. Cheap alcohol, check ...

[caption id="attachment_4791" align="aligncenter" width="304" caption="Image courtesy of Reza Vaziri"][/caption] Simply wandering around the world with just a bag on your back is top – or damn near the top – of many travel-fanatics’ wish lists. What could be better than feasting all of your senses on every weird and wonderful corner of this globe for weeks on end? Not much, if you ask me, but what many don’ ...

It’s 12am on Dec 26th, 2010. We’re 3 hikers and 2 guides at base camp getting ready to start our final hike to Uhuru peak, Kilimanjaro’s highest summit at 5,895m. The backstory seems irrelevant. I seem to have somehow ended up here with other hikers. Eurostar deals and last minute bargains aside, this was something that had crossed my mind a few months ago and I was finally going through with it. The hike s ...

Are people from warmer countries happier than those in cold countries? If you take a look at this interesting diagram below, you'll notice that more sun doesn't necessarily mean more happiness or a longer life expectancy. In fact, you may notice how people who live in some of the coldest countries in the world are both happy and live long. Go Canada go! :) Infographic brought to you by flythomascook.com ...
