No Misbehavin’: 5 Things You’ll Only Find at TBEX
With 600 attendees last year and a whopping 1,300 this time around, TBEX is becoming one of the biggest travel blogger conferences in the world. You’d think that would mean people would behave, of course. But here are 5 things you’ll only find at TBEX, because what happens there, stays there! 5. The World in [...]
Where We’re From: Vanessa Chiasson, Ottawa, Canada
Ottawa is a town whose reputation needs a bit of a makeover. The heart of Canada’s political community is often unfortunately known for being a tad boring and bureaucratic. There’s often a joke that the Canada Day parade, the Gay Pride parade, and the Santa Clause parade all look the same – identical floats and [...]
Where We’re From: Joanna, Hillhurst-Sunnyside — Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Calgary is a young city, still struggling to find its common identity. It’s a place that comes together in great shows of civic pride, deeds and spirit – Winter Olympics ’88, the annual Stampede, NHL Stanley Cup runs all come to mind – but often fails to be harmonious when the eyes of outsiders aren’t [...]
Girls just wanna take cruises
If you happen to have some holiday time leftover and you’re in desperate need of rest and relaxation, it might be a really good time to consider a last-minute cruise getaway deal with the girls. A really cheeky tip, from one avid female traveller to a community of other, those girls who happen to be [...]

Post-Holiday Québec Carnival: the fun doesn’t end after New Years!
When thinking of what to write for this month’s post, I was quite stumped. I figured there would be far too many articles floating around everywhere on the web regarding the holidays. So how about what happens after? How to spend the remaining winter months? Personally, I will be spending the months of January through [...]
Road tripping part deux
(Continued from Road Tripping, Part 1) This is the time when I realize that I’ve talked a big game about how I much enjoy traveling solo and then I’m stuck in the middle of nowhere. The truth is, I was pretty scared. Without cell service, miles away from civilization and not a car on the [...]

Escaping City Boundaries
Lying back in the sun, eyes closed with the breeze from the lake cooling me and listening to the band of crickets and cicadas, it’s hard to believe that I’m in the centre of Canada’s capital city. Living in Ottawa, we are spoilt for choice of where to escape the noises and heat of the [...]
In the Land of the Midnight Sun
Summer in Yellowknife: a place where the sun never sets, where seemingly suicidal pike fish chase down your fishing reel, where the pick-up truck reigns supreme (more so than the United States’ south) and where mosquitoes are organized into what can only been deemed military platoons. I had the wonderful fortune of visiting [...]

Settling in Abroad
Now I know this may seem a strange topic for this week, but I have decided to take a look at the practicalities and normalities of living life abroad. 18 months ago, (today, ironically!), my plane landed in Canada and I have been living here since. Before moving here, I planned very little, prepared very [...]
