By a Single Thread

June 19, 2019 by Mi WestLeave a Comment

A birthday card from our kids shows the front paws of a tiger; a cub is peeking out between two protective legs, cub eyes full of mischief as if saying, "is anybody out there silly enough to dare touch me, with my big daddy around?" I gaze at it for a while. Gradually, a decisive fraction of a second once upon a time starts to cross my mind... * * * Entering deep relaxation after some yoga that morning, I've planted gratitude in my mind for … [Read more...]

A Wild Ride in West Africa

June 13, 2019 by Alissa BellLeave a Comment

Even the driver seemed surprised! Bad sign, these guys have seen it all. In the center of the brightly painted wheel, where the hub should have attached to the axle, was a jagged gaping hole. We’d already used our spare wheel and our jack wasn’t working anyway, so we did what anyone in West Africa would do in this situation: we settled in to wait for help. The merciless sun bullied most passengers into the shade of a nearby tree. They sat … [Read more...]

Top 11 Things to Do in Montreal’s Golden Square Mile

June 6, 2019 by Steve MirskyLeave a Comment

The name of Montreal's Golden Square Mile or Le Mille Carré, a square mile of signature historic blocks at the heart of downtown at the foot of Mount Royal, traces its origins back to 1950s real estate developers promoting the area's prosperity. Today, "Golden" more aptly describes the stellar array of attractions available within such a small radius. In 1983, only 30% of the district's historic buildings survived the wrecking ball due to … [Read more...]

Turning Left Around the World by David C Moore

June 1, 2019 by DaveLeave a Comment

Written first hand by David Moore, one half of the traveling duo David & Helene, this is an engaging tale by two travelers who decided to take a 10 month round the world trip later in life. When moving in to a new house, rather then deciding to throw themselves into the obligatory home improvement projects that invariably accompany one with moves such as this, Helene created her own project. She hung a map of the world on the wall and instructed … [Read more...]

A Pub Tour of the United Kingdom

May 3, 2019 by Iain SmartLeave a Comment

There is nothing more traditional and stereotypically British than a classic Great British pub. In many small villages in the UK, a pub is the focal point of the community; a place where events are held, and parties are celebrated. How good the village pub is will often determine whether the village is worth visiting or indeed living in - a village is only as good as its pub. Whilst the British are known as lovers of pubs, they are also known … [Read more...]

5 Important Rules To Follow Prior To Hiking Solo (Plus A Bonus Tip)

April 28, 2019 by Asen Stoyanchev2 Comments

hiking in Europe

If you are like me, sometimes you prefer hiking all by yourself instead of hitting the trails with a company. That’s completely understandable given the outstanding benefits that hiking solo has to offer. It’s far more peaceful, and it allows you to better immerse yourself with nature. You can keep your own pace and you don’t have to fit in with the wishes or needs of anybody. All that sounds great. However, going into the wilderness all … [Read more...]

Top Private Tours in Paris

April 15, 2019 by DaveLeave a Comment

I first visited Paris 20 years ago when my brother and I were taking full advantage of our summer break from college to backpack around Europe for 2 months. This was our first independent trip together overseas and my first trip to Europe; Paris was our first stop. I remember being in awe of the giant monuments, the city's history and falling in love with all the museums and the city's rich history. I've been wanting to return to Paris for … [Read more...]
