Boston is a city of firsts â€“ itâ€™s home to the first public library, the first institution of higher education, the first subway system and the first marathon was run in Boston. It was also in Boston that Alexander Bell invented the first ever telephone. Because of this, the city is steeped in history and has a rich heritage which surpasses that of many o[...]

I clearly remember a time when even the thought of ordering a coffee alone embarrassed me. Iâ€™d wait outside the coffee shop for my friends to arrive, because, heaven forbid people thought I was drinking coffee alone. A time when I was more than paranoid about looking like I had no friends, or people looking at me because Iâ€™m by myself. Needless[...]

Cast your eye beyond the Italian island of Sicily, just above the coast of North Africa, and youâ€™ll find the archipelago of Malta. Plonked in the southernmost fringe of Europe, these little Mediterranean islands are surrounded by the bluest of waters, doused in the most golden sunlight and full to the brim of smooth local wine thatâ€™ll have you gasping fo[...]

Iâ€™ve heard many things about Canada before I moved there. A lot of them were clichÃ©s. Those things people say just to say anything. Some I found to be (somewhat) true, some not at all. A thing that really stuck to my brain from the beginning on was comparing Canada to a salad bowl. A metaphor referring to the American melting pot, that I immediately f[...]

As much as I love to eat outside when traveling and explore new dishes, it can be draining and also expensive, especially when being en route for a longer period of time. Apart from that, I love to prep food myself and explore the local markets and supermarkets for new ingredients to try, including the localsâ€™ favorite spice mix. Cooking yourself al[...]

It always surprises me that people think being a vegetarian would make travel harder. Truth is, it's something I rarely think about. I've traveled to around 60 countries in the world and have always found vegetarian food. True, sometimes there may only be one option (Mongolia I'm looking at you!), but in most other places there's a magnitude of foods to try [...]

We all know it: traveling is a wonderful thing. Period. But it is often also full of contradictions and dilemmas. To me, some of the biggest of theseÂ are to justify all the pollution and problems it can cause. To put it bluntly, I wonder oftenÂ if we have to harm our planet in order to discover its beauty. I donâ€™t know; one sounds antithetical to the othe[...]

I can’t exactly tell you why, but I keep coming back to visit the Ex-Soviet satellites. I have yet to discover all of them, but among those I’ve already been to, the Baltics definitely rank high. Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (from North to South) are three of the cutest, and yet nearly undiscovered countries the former Soviet Union (and Europe) has to [...]

Travelers are not supposed to have favorites and if we do, someone usually tries to make you feel bad about it. The truth is, though, we do - I think it's just human nature. Those are the places we feel at home and our heart frequently longs to go back to. Sometimes to the detriment of our 'real' homes. For me, those favorites create an issue because they me[...]

Madrid has no shortage of sights to see, from the Prado and the Reina Sofia Museums to Buen Retiro Park. Any guidebook worth its salt will tell you to visit the Royal Palace, the Plaza Mayor, and the Puerta del Sol. And you should definitely see those places. But what about all the amazing sights you donâ€™t read about in the guidebooks? You better believ[...]
