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...]

Pittsburgh: Land of Celebrities
I am a self-acknowledged history nerd with a film degree. I had no idea that Pittsburgh had an abundance of sites covering my two big interests - colonial and current celebrities. Mostly I am interested in the places celebrities were - so that I can stand in, sit on, or touch the same spot. I imagine I am forging a connection that transcends space and time, that the celebrity's genius energy can infiltrate my own and affect it in a positive … [Read more...]
Collbató, Spain – a Town to Explore at your Own Pace
I find myself walking along the sun drenched walkways in the town of Collbató. A solitary horn echoes down the narrow alleyways. The pitch is not perfect and it is disjointed in sound. Perhaps it comes from a young student. Or maybe an older person wanting to explore a musical passion for the first time in their life. Irregardless of who is playing, I follow the sound and spend a few minutes listening under the second story window while … [Read more...]
Ever Considered Sailing in the BVI?
What is a holiday of a lifetime? We have all heard this claim at one time or another... but in our neck of the woods we hear it all the time. Things like "best ever...", "can't wait to do it again...", "at last we found paradise..." are just a few of the comments that have become synonymous with a sailing vacation in the British Virgin Islands. Surprisingly... many people don't know that such vacations are possible and many that are aware that … [Read more...]

Smell the Eucalyptus Trees
The Blue Mountains National Park is on the UNESCO Heritage List today and it attracts a large number of visitors to Sydney and New South Wales every year. It is simply refreshing to visit this delightful spot after spendingsome time in a large city of Sydney. Many would say ‘a true impression of Australia’ is what one gets after the Blue Mountains. But why are they called Blue? The answer is that eucalyptus oil evaporating releases the substance … [Read more...]
Five places to never miss on a trip to Nicaragua
Before visiting Nicaragua for the first time, I had really low expectations on this country. I didn’t know many people who had been there before, and anyways none of them appeared to be particularly impressed with it. It was not meant to be the highlight of my trip through Central America, but I quickly fell in love with it – so much so that after my first visit I went back two more times. As I quickly learned once there, Nicaragua actually … [Read more...]
Notes of a Curious Traveler, Exploring Northeast Spain
After leaving my brothers friend's Catamaran dry docked in the port of Canet France - I drove several hours to Barcelona. I arrived in the center of town - which was very crowded with narrow streets and no parking spots. One must have nerves of steel to drive here - I finally found an underground parking garage, one of the smallest I've ever been in - I had to make a 10-point turn or something numerically similar to that - just to get into and … [Read more...]
