We consider ourselves fortunate to be based in Canada. It's an admirable country, where people can be who they want to be. Recognized as one of the most amenable, free-minded, kind and welcoming countries, Canada is a fountain of cold water in a world that is - at least for now - smoldering. Some…

Well, another amazing post about an amazing topic from an amazing country, China. China is pushing the limits of modern engineering by building massive undersea tunnels stretching more than 5,000 meters beneath rivers, bays, and coastal waters.
But how do engineers actually construct tunnels this long underwater—and keep them safe under enormous pressure?…
When most people think of Canada, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa and others spring to mind. But, obviously there are far more than that.

If you haven't made these destinations…
All modern countries have rail. Some small, some huge For those that do, rail is an absolute mandatory way of getting around. And, of course, Europe is one of the biggest rail hubs on the planet. More than 400,000 passengers pass through Zurich Main Station (Zürich HB) every day. 1Key Facts About…
Hard to believe, but one of our fave YouTube celebrities: Walk With Me Tim, has found himself in a rather sweet spot, and it's on this This Luxury Nile Cruise. It seems kind of empty. And it was a steal. It almost looks too good to be true. Is there something shifty going…
If you're old enough to remember the day when the Eurostar train took its first blast through the tunnel, you'll recall what a thrill it was. Not only was it groundbreaking, it was ear-breaking, as it whooshed past you as it entered or exited the tunnels. Of course there have been many other trains…

One thing that has been proven again and again is that greed and avarice ultimately get you nowhere, other than six feet under. Those who fashion themselves as any different from any other human will learn their lessons one way or another. This post is not easy to write: we have British…
What next, we have to ask? With any luck this post will be a long forgotten one, and so will he. Again, we are not of the types to get into politics, but the current situation in North America with the so-called stable genius is unilaterally creating problems left, right and centre. We…
Even if you consider yourself a well-traveled nomad, chances are that you'll miss a location, here or there. It's only natural. So, as the world gets bigger as it gets smaller with social media taking the stage, what do you do to find the authentic, the untouched, the real deal, as it were?…

For many decades, Gibraltar, was somewhat of an enigma, a troubled child. Britain has laid claim to it, but to the residents, it's just another day. Not too long ago, was formed as a self-governing British Overseas Territory that operates under British sovereignty while sharing an open, post-border-fence arrangement with Spain and the…
Oh, Wendy, where have you been? When it comes to travel, it's either the best of times, or the worst of times. Fads come and go. So do travel sellers. There are enough of them to keep you busy for decades to come. But the main focus should be on…
Once upon a time, cruising was the thing to do . . . when you were rich. And when you were rich, that likely signaled that you had the money for such adventures. Ships were expensive. Getting there and back was a herculean effort in itself. But that was then, and this…
