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...]

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...]

How to Avoid a Car Hire Horror Story Abroad

December 8, 2018 by Suzanne ELeave a Comment

Travel represents an escape. Something different, dangerous, and romantic. That’s why we all love seeing the photos and reading the blog posts. We imagine ourselves right there, seeing it for ourselves. The colour of India. The charm of Paris. The tree tops and swinging jungle life of Borneo. Beats the grey suits of the Monday morning board room, don’t you think? Of course, that one perfect selfie with circling Tiger sharks in the Gulf of … [Read more...]

The End of the Road: “I’ve finally made it around the world.”

December 8, 2018 by Pete Martin2 Comments

I’m tired this morning. It feels like the end of a very long journey. I sleep in, listening to the sounds of Parisian life outside my hotel. While it will be the end of this journey around the world with the last leg from Paris back to Frankfurt tomorrow, perhaps it’s the start of something else. I want to believe that my days of living and working with people who do not share my values are over (or at least I will be conscious of the … [Read more...]

Los Angeles by Serge Ramelli

The lightning in Ramelli's captures makes the City of Angels pop in a way not always seen. From downtown to the beaches, to architecture - these are inspiring photographs of America's second largest city. The photographs are laid out as double page spreads - providing maximum effect on the use of … [Read more...]

How I Twice Failed in Saint Augustine (and still won)

September 7, 2018 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

Nope, it's not Jamestown. Nor is it Plymouth. And neither is it the lost colony of Roanoke. Bet you didn't know, the oldest permanent European settlement in the US was founded in St. Augustine, Florida by Spanish conquistadors as early as 1565. It predates the next oldest European city (Santa Fe, New Mexico) by more than 4 decades. As of the time of this writing, the city has been continuously inhabited for 453 years. By North American standards, … [Read more...]

April 1, 2018 by Abdul Rastagar4 Comments

An interview with Tokyo's hottest up-and-coming restaurateur Keisuke Inoue Most people automatically think “sushi” when Japanese cuisine is mentioned. However, Japanese food is much bigger than just raw fish and rice. It is an entirely different food culture than we in the west are accustomed to. Just check out these stats on Japan’s stunning restaurant scene: Japan boasts more than twice as many restaurants per capita than the US (1 for … [Read more...]
