Moraine Lake is a gorgeous, turquoise coloured lake near Lake Louise. It’s part of Banff National park and is glacially fed; the rock flour deposits giving its unique hue. Fun fact: it was once featured on the back of the Canadian $20 bill. I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon there during the Heritage day long…
The airplane can be annoying With all of the germs And the kid behind you that could be a soccer star And the woman beside you who loves to go barefoot Let’s not forget the claustrophobic washrooms with the toilets that are too loud And the baby that is afraid of flying that can be…
Over this spring break, I’ve had the most wonderful – most awe-inspiring, phenomenal, stupendous, extraordinary, and breath-taking (for “wonderful” simply isn’t enough to describe the awesomeness that had befallen upon me, so I take to abuse the thesaurus) – experience: school trip to LONDON and PARIS! I’ve always loved to travel and sight-see, but the trip…
Have you ever spent a week living with 120-something other people? That was me before spring break, at Encounters With Canada. Encounters is a program that brings together youth from all across Canada to live under the same roof (between the same teal and orange walls) for a week, in the cute little city of…
I first started realizing that our family camera was totally incompetent because every time we took a night portrait mode photo or any mode actually, it looked like our souls were coming out of our bodies. The blur was that bad. So after years of convincing my parents, we get a Canon Rebel T4i and…
After continuous beginnings of talks and then ends of talks, the ring road has once again been brought to the spotlight, with many once again saying that there is a chance that the ring road may be finally completed. There has long been controversy about whether or not to send the ring road through First…
Though I’m not exactly the most frequent of travelers, I decided to explore what exactly made a great hotel great and came up with a few of the most important parts of a hotel which help to make one’s stay as comfortable as possible. 1. Remembering your Preferences Something that some hotels do which can change the…
Mambo Everyone! There wasn’t much excitement on day 2. Basically, on the second day, we visited the local Projects Abroad office, did some paperwork for a work permit, exchanged money(Currency was around $1USD=1570TSH), and had “The Talk”, which was mostly about some rules and how things are going to work for the next 2 weeks.…
I know that this blog entry is rather late, and the title rather uncreative, but nonetheless I hope you enjoy my brief story on my crazy journey to volunteer abroad in Nepal. I left on August 3, and after spending over 30 hours either in stuffy planes or crowded airports, I arrived in the warm…
So I just back from a trip to New York (New York, how original, I know). But it was amazing nonetheless, and not to mention incredibly sweaty. I’m the kind of person that begins to wither as soon as the temperature starts to simmer above the 20 degree mark… yeah, sad. Maybe I’m suited for life in…
In my last two post, Part Uno and Part Dos, I talked about Cuba. Here’s another post about Cuba. Third times the charm, yeah? Yes. But yes, this is the finale of my Cuba posts. This post will have a lot of extra photography. I’m assuming you’ve heard of Ernest Hemingway, the great literary mind…
So in my last post, I talked about the resort we stayed at — Las Morlas, and visiting the tallest bridge in Cuba (I won’t repeat the name just because I can’t spell it). But now, I’m gonna talk about touring Havana; the capital of Cuba. The drive from Las Morlas to Havana was around…
This past weekend (Canada Day) I had the fantastic opportunity of visiting Whitehorse, Yukon for the very first time. It was absolutely beautiful there and I couldn’t help but take hundreds of photos.
Tasmania – A world apart, not a world away. While slouching lazily in the sunlight, embracing the blissful summer breeze that Calgary occasionally offers, in attempt to help my parents figure out the potential locations for the family vacation, I came across a neat article that captivates the readers in a short summary of Tasmania,…
