Just as Tanya was hooked on the "Waving Flag" song by K'naan, I am presently hooked on a T.V show called ROME. I've already stated in past articles about my love for History and Politics but this TV show is a drug. It's so uncensored, brutal and realistic all at the same time. Most of us have already heard of or studied the Roman Empire. Just like the Greeks, the Romans are the true creators of ancient Demo ...

One of my Favorite cities in Europe is Barcelona. Only because everything you want in a European city, Barcelona has it! It’s filled with life, excitement, uniqueness, and not to forget the amazing nightlife! It is Spain’s second largest city and for those who have never been or are thinking of backpacking it, well here are a few quick tips. For all those first timers, Avenue of Las Ramblas is the first sto ...

>>Yes, I am one of the many thousands of people stuck with no flight home. Its really crazy to think that a volcano in Iceland has caused all this craziness and mess all over Europe. I was suppose to leave this morning for Toronto, although all western, northern European airports are closed until Wednesday. So as a result my flight was pushed to Wednesday and get this, I leave very soon after to Cuba! ...

After a few days of meetings and chatting with many people, this work event has gone very smoothly, even though there are thousands of people from across the world that are exchanging ideas and creating new ones, the scene can be very overwhelming. However, for me it is a huge learning environment that makes me want to learn even more about producing and the whole concept of the entertainment industry. Plus ...

 Many people often ask me, what is Europe like? Or how is life in Europe? I’d like to say that it’s an easy question to answer, but unfortunately it isn’t. My personal opinion is that life is more appreciated in the old continent. Sure when you live in America, you are considered spoiled, we have everything they have; the difference is that we don’t pay attention to the details. For example, when we wake up ...

After 13 hours of flying, I have finally arrived in Cannes, France. As first impression after five years, its a whole lot of wow. Things have change! I know, not very usual for Europe, but its not the buildings that have changed its the amount of stores and resturants that have been added to the water fronts main street. There are now many designers stores, which is what I expected since Cannes is the cente ...

This Saturday is the big day!! I am hoping a plane to head over to FRANCE. As mentioned in a pervious post I am going to Cannes, France for work. So no backpacking Europe but at least I will be out of the country and seeing a new city. Well kind of because I have already seen Cannes before, but that was five years ago. So lots of change has happened since than, well for me anyways. So why am I going to Cann ...

When we think of Italy, we picture the beautiful canals of Venice, the magnificent coliseum of Rome, the Duomo of Milano, the Ponte Vecchio of Florence and the beautiful landscape in the south. It it one of the greatest countries to visit in Europe if you are a tourist, but the political reality isn't so nice. Italy is one of the most corrupted democratic countries in Europe. For the first time in more than ...

Traveling accross Europe is somewhat common. It normally turns out to be a great experience and lots of fun times! This being said, there was one thing that really annoyed me during my 7-month stay in Europe, and that was going to the bathroom in touristy places. When in Rome, do as the Roman do- that means- did they have to dish out some cash to pee? The average cost of using the toilet in Italy, or accros ...

Denmark’s famous little mermaid takes a little trip to the other side of the world. On Thursday morning the statue left Copenhagen’s harbor. It’s going to the world expo in Shanghai, China. Now this trip is the first trip for the 96 year-old mermaid. The 1.5-meter landmark of Denmark marks the memory of a famous Danish writer, Hans Christian Anderson, so the journey of this landmark is taking to high measur ...
