 June 10, 2013 |by Andrea Mueller | 0 Comments I have a confession to make. This might be shocking, given the supposed Vancouver/ Toronto rivalry, but the big smoke is one of my favourite cities. Not just in Canada, but maybe in the whole wide world. I don’t know what it is about this place, it’s just so ALIVE! I’ve been to Toronto at least 20 or 25 times, and every time I visit I find something new to love about it. More...
 June 09, 2013 |by Candice Walsh | 0 Comments Two years have passed since that fateful week when I fell in love with Gros Morne National Park. It’s one of my favourite places in the world, and I fully intend to live there someday. More...
 June 08, 2013 |by Andrea Mueller | 0 Comments It’s no secret that I love food. I’ve always been a picky eater, but I’m not a snobby eater. I’m a firm believer that a meal doesn’t have to be super expensive to be a delicious and a memorable experience. New York City is pricy for sure, but if you look hard enough you can find some really good food for a decent price. On my recent trip to The Big Apple I ate at some really nice places and counteracted them with the cheap and the cheerful. Check out my choices for New York noshing for about $16.00 excluding alcohol. More...
 June 07, 2013 |by Andrea Mueller | 0 Comments The Cloisters is an incredible museum that is part new, part old and 100% awesome. It’s located all the way at the northernmost tip of Manhattan, opposite to the end that Wall Street and Freedom Towers are located. This end of the island couldn’t be any more different than the financial district if it tried. It’s located in Fort Tryton Park and is surrounded by trees, greenery and the Hudson River. The birds are chirping and the squirrels are busy doing squirrely things. Yes, it’s a little slice of heaven in the big city. More...
 June 06, 2013 |by Candice Walsh | 0 Comments With July just around the corner, it’ll soon be festival season in Newfoundland – my favourite time of year! The number of events going on around the province from June to September is kind of ridiculous. Here are my favourite five. More...
 June 05, 2013 |by Candice Walsh | 0 Comments Travelling can be incredibly exhausting when you’re doing it for long stretches of time. Rushing through airports, dozing in airplane seats, and fighting your way through a new destination becomes a whole lot harder when you’re drained of energy. I’m one of those people for whom jet lag plagues for days, but I’ve learned to deal with it better. Try these tips. More...
 June 03, 2013 |by Andrea Mueller | 0 Comments We’ve all heard of poetry slams, where poets stand up in a small, smoky bar and recite their innermost thoughts and feelings that have been woven into prose and rhyming couplets. I’ve never been to a poetry slam, but can now say that I’ve been to a story slam right here in New York City thanks to “The Moth.” More...
 June 02, 2013 |by Candice Walsh | 0 Comments My first time visiting Quebec City was one of those surreal weekends, which included fun activities like riding around a toy store on a train and getting drunk in a basilica. More...
 June 01, 2013 |by Andrea Mueller | 0 Comments We all know Portland likes its weird. I’ve talked about it right here in this very forum a couple of times before. It’s more than being weird though. There’s a certain quirkiness and eccentricity to this city that strikes a chord with me. I love the hidden, unusual and absurd, so Portland delivers on this big time. There are so many great large-scale galleries and museums here. But on the same level there is a multitude of strange little one off museums that would appeal to a certain crowd. An unusual crowd, if you will. More...
