Seeing the World One Step at a Time

Off Beat Destinations for an Adventurous Holiday

November 1, 2015 by Rob FLeave a Comment

Off Beat Destinations for an Adventurous Holiday

The lists of the best travel destinations are always biased towards a few places like France, England and Switzerland, and in some cases India and Turkey. While these places are of course spectacularly awesome, there are some other places in the world that are less heard of but offer quite a captivating experience for adventure lovers. Sometimes we want our travel experience to be more unique and special. Sometimes we do not want the hassle of … [Read more...]

Maritime Québec: A Feast for the Senses

September 23, 2015 by Catherine Sweeney8 Comments

Maritime Québec: A Feast for the Senses

Highlights of a three-day Québec road trip For three days this summer, it was a delight to be on the road in parts of Québec that I'd never visited: Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie, two of the province's maritime regions on the St. Lawrence River. Driving north from our starting point in Québec City to our first destination about 100 miles north, the village of Kamoraska, my travel companions and I were soon passing through rural areas with … [Read more...]

The Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival 2015

The Los Angeles Food and Wine Festival has quickly become one of the city's most prominent food and wine events; it is a big deal - you probably saw the billboards scattered around town leading up to the festival. This event recently celebrated it's 5th year in a row with three nights of culinary excellence combined with world class wine. Each day features a number of events including cooking demonstrations by celebrated chefs (this year a … [Read more...]

An Introduction to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan: Culture, Food & Attractions

August 22, 2015 by Dave2 Comments

An Introduction to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan: Culture, Food & Attractions

When one thinks of Canadian cities, iconic urban destinations quickly come to mind such as Toronto, Montreal, Quebec and Vancouver. Saskatoon is not located near any of these major urban centers and is certainly a much smaller city in comparison - both of these aspects are refreshing and are part of the appeal of visiting. So where is Saskatoon anyways? It is located in the southern part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan about 2.5 hours … [Read more...]

The Kawarthas’ Lantern Restaurant Guides the Vacationer to a Gourmet Heaven

The Kawarthas’ Lantern Restaurant Guides the Vacationer to a Gourmet Heaven

As our group of ten sipped on Stoney Mules on the patio of the Lantern Restaurant & Grill located on the edge of Stoney Lake in the Kawartha region of Ontario, I was content. At that moment, while enjoying this drink made of vodka, ginger-rhubarb shrub, mint and club soda, I could understand why this part of the province is so much in demand by tourists. The tree covered shoreline and the beautifully designed restaurant combine to make it an … [Read more...]

Marseille, France: European Capital of Culture

July 13, 2015 by Catherine Sweeney3 Comments

Marseille, France: European Capital of Culture

As someone who lives in Marseille told me, “Marseille is a way of life”. It’s the playing of pétanque (similar to bocce), the imbibing of pastis (an anise liqueur developed in Marseille as a substitute for the banned absinthe in 1915), the savoring of Bouillabaisse (for which Marseille is famous), and a certain "joie de vivre". It is also a way of life that embraces the diversity of this melting pot on the Mediterranean and its rich culture, … [Read more...]

Life in Bogotá: 12 things you’ll soon discover

Life in Bogotá: 12 things you’ll soon discover

1. Queuing for a bus is rare On the TransMilenio bus system in Bogota, it’s every man for himself; unlike London buses, on most TransMilenio buses there aren’t specific doors for people getting on or getting off (although these are being introduced on certain routes, thank God!), so as the doors open at the station it’s like two opposing armies clashing as each side struggles to board or disembark. If you wait for people to get off before you … [Read more...]

3 Great Sierra Nevada Getaways

March 13, 2015 by Catherine Sweeney1 Comment

3 Great Sierra Nevada Getaways

During a busy and fun-filled getaway weekend, my husband (“Mr. TWS”) and I visited El Dorado County, South Lake Tahoe, and Carson Valley, Nevada. These three Sierra Nevada locations, easily reached from the San Francisco Bay Area and many other places in Northern California and Nevada, can be enjoyed as individual destinations or an itinerary trio. We packed a lot into three days (and would recommend taking much more time), but we got a good feel … [Read more...]
