I have mentioned it before, in a previous post when I suggested that the world would be a better place if something entertaining, like hockey, was the international sport as opposed to football.  After watching last week’s gold medal game, where my team by association, Argentina won gold over...

I've been living in Halifax, Nova Scotia all summer. As any Canadian would know (especially Atlantic Canadians) Halifax is a city with plenty of opportunities to surround yourself with great music, cold drinks, and great people.

My experience lasted no more than 10 minutes but will stick with me for a...

Something that never fails to captivate me is overlooked history. So needless to say I've thoroughly enjoyed my time cycling up the coast of Nova Scotia, where I've received numerous supplemental history lessons regarding the period of the American Revolution.

In school, we Americans are taught all...

People are often at a loss for conversational topics, and travelers are certainly no exception.  While on the road, you will likely relive similar conversations with nearly every person you meet.  Everyone always asks about your life, your country, your job and your plans.  It is either...

One day last summer, it was my honour to dance with Matt, an Internet superstar who made one of Youtube's most viewed videos of all time

Although this travel blog is late it could not be left out. 

 I have never seen so many sick people in one place in my entire life. Young people, old people, big people, small people, the light hearted, and the tough. Everyone was sick. If anyone has ever travelled through the Cyclades of Greece they...

It's been a hectic couple of months since I returned from Barbados and started life as a full-time freelance writer - good for the most part, but definitely a little crazy. I thought I'd post a few links and notes explaining what I've been up to, and where I'm headed next.

The adjustment has been harder...

1.  I arrive in The Brazilian Consulate in Santiago, Chile, and proceed through the lengthy security measures of going through a metal detector, having my backpack searched and so on before finally being emitted to speak to somebody about a visa.

I then learn that I must go to a bank, down the...

Its ironic to me that the only city where I cannot call a friend randomly to suggest a cold beer on a sunny afternoon is the city I have called home for 10 plus years.  It’s a mix of not keeping in touch with old school friends, treating home like nothing more than a money stop and missing...

Travel into the Democratic Republic of Congo began from Lake Bunyoni, Uganda, a beautiful lake surrounded by high mountains heavily cultivated with terraces throughout its valleys similar to the highlands of Nepal and Ecuador.

The high mountains run all the way to Kisoro where the Virunga volcanoes...

It’s that time of year again: the season in which I inevitably find myself in a foreign country, asking around to see if there’s any chance I can catch the hockey game on TV.

The tradition started in my undergraduate years. At the end of the winter semester, in early or mid April, I’d rush off...

Earlier this week cyclone Nargis tore through the southwest of the country killing up to an estimated 60-100,000 people so far and affecting 1.5 million people by the disaster. Hundreds of thousands of people have no food, water, or shelter. One of the poorest countries in the world, the...

With the snow in the mountains receding and the rain clouds clearing, my wonder lust for a new adventure returns with the assurance of summer.  Final exams have now wound down and I have replaced the usual grind of a summer job and yard work, with school work and the promise of an adventure....

Beautiful Burundi is a very small country bordered by the giants of Tanzania, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Rwanda to the north.
Like Rwanda, Burundi was colonized by the Germans and later the Belgians and as in Rwanda the Europeans played on ethnic differences to divide and conquer the...

He turned 400 this year, and he's looking better than ever. Quebec City is celebrating four centuries of culture with year-round festivities. The clifftop citadel that intimidated invading armies now conquers with a smile, a flourish of a plumed hat and a glass of kir.  The city...

Wouldn’t we all like to know the answer?

In my searches online in the Internet Marketing world, I was surprised to find a blogger who wasn’t trying to sell me anything at all - his name is Yaro Starek. Amongst all the posts regarding tips, advice etc. for making money online, there was a real...

It’s been thawing, storming and snowing in heaps, and then plunging to a deep-freeze in irregular cycles all winter here – more proof, by the way, that the world is ending – and one result is that I hadn’t gotten out skating on the canal yet this year. It’s either been too warm, so the ice...
