Happy Monday everyone!
If you have looked outside, you’ve noticed it’s not so sunny. Not sunny at all, actually.
And if you’ve ventured outside, you probably have noticed how un-hot it is. Cool. Bordering on cold. And it’s June.
One can never really rely on Toronto’s weather to be consistent.
Thus, the kayaking lesson scheduled for this evening that […]
I’ve decided to make use of Lake Ontario.
So many summers have passed and I’ve always escaped to get to an ocean. This year, I’m planning to do that in November, maybe in Europe.
So until then, I’m going to try kayaking on good ol’ Lake Ontario.
My first lesson is on Monday and I’ll be updating this […]
So I’m supposed to be telling you how do NYC on the cheap with Air Miles and other methods, but something has come up that I’d like to share, as it may help you.
I recently had to attempt purchasing a last-minute ticket to Portugal via a website, less than 24 hours away from when the […]
You have no money. The economy isn’t doing so hot, but even so, travelling doesn’t have to be out of the question.
I’m back from the Big Apple and I’m happy I went … using the bare minimum my financial planner would allow. Okay, I don’t have a financial planner, but I should.
On Friday March 6, I’ll […]
Ah, the Big Apple.
There go my air miles.
A few weeks ago I told you I’d upate you on my exploration into air miles and where it’ll take me. I don’t know how long it took me to accumulate 3800 points, but they’re mostly gone. Oh yes, that’s right. I have 450 left. I managed to […]

Yes, there’s been a delay in my blog posts. Why? Idea-block (kinda like writer’s block). Haven’t done any travelling since returning from Spain last month. Anyway, it won’t happen again, you’re going to hear from me every week. I’m hoping to travel all the time in one way or another. Right now, I’m actually […]
So I’m off to spend a week in Barcelona. When I started gathering items for the trip a little less than a month ago, I had one tiny corner of my 525-square-foot condo dedicated to housing what I’d be bringing on the trip. There were only a few things there: a travel journal, a Spanish-English […]
So it’s June. I can’t believe half a year has already passed since I was on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil … staring at the fireworks exploding above my head on new year’s eve.
At the bottom of Rio’s towering mountains, among flickering candles, millions of men and women dressed all in white make […]
As I prepare for a three-hour exam that tests my English to Brazilian Portuguese translation skills (or lack thereof, we’ll see) for a part-time job, my mind reels back to 2003, unbelieveably already five years ago.
I, along with plenty others, were laid off from a web production job for a media outlet when a large […]
Here you have ‘em. My promised before and after pictures of the best (one of the two anyway) meals I’ve ever had while abroad.
I was in Olinda, a colonial town in northeastern Brazil in the state of Pernambuco, with two friends, wandering up and down the cobblestone streets in search of food.
Specifically, we were looking […]
