This second trip to Quebec City confirms that it is my favorite city in Anglo-North America. There’s just something very great about this place. Maybe it’s the old world architecture combined with North American space, maybe it’s the location on the St. Lawrence River, or maybe it’s that this is a French City and as [...]
Halifax is a good city. Not the best city I’ve ever spent time in, but definitely not a bad place.
Now. That being said, I did find Halifax to be an interesting place filled with great little pubs, scenic views, and tons of nice people. The truth is, I found Halifax to be quite [...]

I swear that I will send the books to everyone who has signed up for the email feed, but at the moment I am embarked upon perhaps the biggest adventure of my life. You have no idea how big Canada is until you try to cross it with no sleeping bag, no car, no tent, [...]

I am in Quebec City now and I have $4 in Canadian. Since paypal has limited access to my account, I have no options but to get across Canada and down the west coast with the $4 I have. I’m not exactly outfitted for a long backpacking and hitchhiking trip. Since I have had to [...]
