Whirlwind Toronto Attractions & Niagara Falls
This is a top pick! Stepping out of the small Jet plane onto Canadian soil, was I was a little apprehensive? Immigration and customs are generally not well known for their warm welcomes and generally try to make the process as intimidating as possible. However, the ...
I like a lot of things about trip preparation, but
This is a top pick! I like a lot of things about trip preparation, but packing isn't one of them. Look! I'm putting my underwear in a bag.... Since the only part I find diverting is seeing how little I can take with me, I usually put off the chore until the last moment. But ...
Where did I put the...oh, never mind!
This is a top pick! After living in a mess of piled boxes and garbage for months now, it is a relief to finally see the end in sight! A 750 sq foot apartment does not have a lot of room for boxes! Not only have we been preparing for a move, we've needed to get ...

This is a top pick! ... the Land of Aus I got to have a good visit with a good number of my accomplices. Kyle The Mule returned to Canada amidst a flurry of shotgunned Lucky Lagers and a good amount of hollering at each other happily trying to shout down each others travel ...
Polar Bears up the Wazoo
This is a top pick! I am now at an eight-hour sleep deficit. Every morning I wake at some ungodly hour, in pain from this wretched mattress and then I can't get back to sleep because of snoring. So if I'm starting to sound grumpy, that's why. Other than the mattresses, ...
Oh Canada!
This is a top pick! Our plane's route from London to Calgary was over Greenland and northern Canada. With the time change, as soon as the sun set, it was rose again. Rather a weird feeling. We could see the ground flying over Nunavit and the NWT - there was no snow! ...
Helicopters and Dog Sled Rides
This is a top pick! We can't help but feel like schoolchildren here at CNSC. We're aren't allowed outside without supervision, we make bagged lunches, and we're always being ferried about from place to place in school busses. Today, though, instead of being herded onto ...

The Art of Solo Travel - Job Hunting
This is a top pick! This week I had a job interview.. wearing sandals. Ok, they are almost like ballet flats, leather, black but they also had gaping holes where the rest of the shoe should be. Not what I would call appropriate interview attire. I also didn't have ...
Historic French Canadian City
This is a top pick! Day 165 June 17 continued - I am very fortunate to have got in contact with my friend Tamara (Nicaragua) and gets me out to Quebec city. It takes a day of flying to get there, but I meet up with Tamara as she is working as an FA on the flight from ...
Vancouver - City of beauty and sushi

Quebec City and the Wonder-bus
This is a top pick! Wow, I've really been slack with entries the last couple of days. I've been meaning to write this entry but it's been a) hard to charge find a free power outlet to charge my laptop and; b) exhausting at my hostel. I have to stay up late as the room is so ...
The Working Girl
This is a top pick! It's been a while since I've updated my status. Life in Vancouver has finally settled down into a state of 'normality'. During the week I get up to go to work on what must be one of the most beautiful harbours in the world. Although, as the McCain add ...

Lovely Stratford
This is a top pick! To truly enjoy Stratford, you have to go to the festival. Lucky for us, Brian's sister works for the festival and can get free tickets! Watching a rendition of West Side Story was fun - especially seeing the 'tough gangsters' dancing with ...
Three Weeks To Go...
This is a top pick! For those of you just joining us, you probably already know that we have only three weeks left in Toronto before we set off on our year-long adventure. Most of our gear and clothes our packed, but we still have a few important decisions to make, ...
