This is not your gran'pappy's Alabama. If you're from the USA, some of this may ring true to you. Or it may not. No matter the case, Alabama is one of those hidden gems. It's a state where deep historical roots, world-class innovation all meld together. The state served as…
Nothing to do with The Bayou. Nope: no shrimps on the barbie or gators swimming around your ankles. This post is about as removed from that as you could imagine. Welcome to Bobcaygeon, Ontario, holds a special place in the Canadian consciousness—partly because of its natural beauty as the "Hub of the…
We live in Canada, but have lived and traveled all around the globe for decades. The country is still somewhat of a haven if you want to bask in common sense, politeness, and general good vibes. There are many cities in The Great White North, but most of the accolades go to the…
