Grand Feux Loto-Quebec, Sparkliest Event in Quebec
Have you ever wonder why people love to watch explosions so much? 
I’ve always presumed it’s mostly because it is just natural. I mean, the universe does like to blow stuff up, seriously. It even created by a big blow up, the Big Bang itself, if you think about it. Then there are also natural ex...

World's Most Haunted Jail: Ottawa Jail Hostel

I joined an online community for female writers – travelers where once in a while, one of the members brags posts about visiting one of their bucket list destinations. I came to a realization that I too, just ticked off something from my list recently. The thing is, my last ticked bucket list was ab...

Roulotte du Coin: Best Canard Confit Poutine in Quebec

So.

So, I am known as someone enthusiastic and perserverant. 

But.

Cuba Beaches and Cenotes

HELLO, I AM BACK!


Well, I wasn't really gone gone, but I was annoyingly busy this past month and skipped my weekly schedule of giving unsolicited advice posting absurd stories about our latest adventure. Apparently, I suck at keeping schedule (this is probably why my period is never regular, my ...

I have been known to have this habit to recklessly classify things together just because they bare tiny similarities between them, no matter how scientifically inaccurate or illogical it is. For example, any long shaped purple flowers are lavenders to me, and all white-flat petals flower are daisie...

Old Havana or Habana Vieja, Nooks and Cranny in Pictures -Vintage Awesomeness

Dearly beloved, we are gathered today to mourn the loss of my Sony Nex3 that I bought at a questionable back-alley pawnshop whose name I prefer not to mention. This awesome camera has helped me document candid moments, spread fake news, and make poorly designed memes over the years.

Havana Facts and Myths

You guys. YOU GUYS. Havana is classic, romantic, and iconic.

It is also the latest spontaneous destination of our winter escape. Frankly, I was sure that we were going to spend NYE somewhere 5 feet under the snow in Canada. I suggested that we go to Yukon. Yes, I find it very easy to go to the ext...
