Back in 2005, I spent almost 7 months in Europe. Studying, traveling, partying and eating, I was indeed ready to go back home after an abundance of all those things! But just when you think you're right around the corner of your house, you get a surprise! If  you have a good memory, you'll remember that the London metro bombings took place on July 5 of 2005. To my luck, my flight back home was departing fro ...

A few weeks ago, I randomly went to a travel agency and booked a ticket to Vancouver Island. It was one of those days where I knew I needed a little adventure to escape from reality. It was not only a random ticket that I purchased but it was also the thought of randomly surprising my friend Amber who lives there. Literally once I bought the ticket I texted her to not only let her know that I was coming but ...

If you're not Canadian, you most likely never heard of Prince Edward Island (PEI), an island located in the Canadian Maritimes.    Birthplace of the Confederation Charlottetown, the capital of PEI is where everything began in regards to the Canadian Confederation. In 1968, a meeting took place between representatives of British Colonies to discuss the Canadian Confederation. After much talking, Canada was b ...

3 friends, 1 car and 4 days. Read about one of my most random week-ends!  After a few months of being really busy, I needed a break, a break from it all. Looking forward to a long week-end, two friends and I decided we would hop in the car and drive. Drive to where? We didn't know...  So Thursday morning came, we were all packed and ready to go. Driving down the Highway 91 and then the Highway 93, we drove ...

Just over the weekend the downtown core of Toronto turned into a war zone. With thousands of Protesters covering the streets and police trying to stand their ground things just got out of control. As most of the Canadians look at this, thinking, “ This is not Canada.” The demonstrators were holding signs, singing, dancing, and some resulting in arrests, the once calm city turned into a city filled with fear ...

So the world cup has started and already fans are going crazy. Well I am already one of them and the games are so intense that sometimes I feel I am among the crowds at the stadium. Even those I am Canadian I do have my favorite team. But imagine if Canada had its own team. It has been 24 years since Canada’s last appearance to make it in the world cup. The year that Canada did make it to the world cup, mor ...

In 2006 I spent the summer in San Diego, California. It was an adventure that I would never have imagined myself doing years before. Only because I was once a person who wanted to plan out my summers, but ever since that summer I decided winging it was truly the best way to experience an adventure. It was a summer that any twenty years old would have dreamed of; filled with traveling, fun, parties, love, an ...

During my four months stay in California in 2006 a friend and I happened to take a different route from Los Angeles to San Francisco. It happened to be the best drive we ever experienced. The drive was over 6 hours long between the two cities, but the view was breathtaking. This legendary road is strewn with fascinating lands marks, and amazing views of the Pacific Coast line. If you start from L.A, your fi ...

To all you Canadians out there, tell me what your number one city is in Canada? Now this can vary in how you categorize it, but as far as backpacking and sightseeing goes, what is you favorite place? I am one of those backpackers who probably traveled more in different countries rather than my own. Considering how much I love traveling you would think I would have seen more of Canada, but I haven’t. I think ...
