Oh, I think Canadians look like all sorts of people. That’s the beauty of Canada. (Jagmeet Singh)
Here is a comparison, of sorts, that we hope you will find thought-provoking. It's a story of how two travel provider companies, (whom you've surely heard of over the decades first started way back when,) how they're different, and how they started and thrived in offering stays for holiday goers. As a primer, VRBO…
This one is a no-brainer. Holiday trips are expensive enough as it is, so you may wonder why you would want to add additional costs? That's a good enough question, but there are very good reasons why you may want to rethink your logic. In most cases, traveling overseas goes without a…
It's September of 2023. Any thinking person will be aware of and supportive of UNESCO. As we watch the world fall / burn to pieces over these past couple of years, we need the organisation even more. Big oil is still beating its chest to the call of dozens of waiting billionaires.…
No, it's not the name of some new trendy Pale Ale. Still, we wish we could have been around when the first nations of Canada named this place. We would love to have seen the discourse and decision-making. We wonder who finally triumphed in the name game. Was it rock, paper,…

France never gets tiring, unless you wear yourself out by living life to the fullest there. Of course, Paris is at the top of the list for most people, as is Marseille or Nice or Bordeaux. Few countries have the variety or diversity that France has, in pretty much all aspects. And…
We have written a few posts about how travel can be a nightmare at times, especially when the travel companies don't seem to solve the issues (sometimes no matter how hard they try.) It could be a cascade of problems that they have no control over, or it could external influences - Covid anyone?…
Well, here we go again. You know us. We we love travel. We love history. And we love science. This post has all three all wrapped up in a rather exciting bundle...a roaring bundle, as it were. This is all about Niagara Falls.
If you've been to that…

The name Westminster Abbey should ring loud and clear to almost anyone who travels. It is one of the biggest attractions (and biggest buildings) in London and is instantly recognisable.
If this is news to you, for background, Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at Westminster, is a large, mainly Gothic…
