Fogo Island Newfoundland & Labrador. I’m not even sure how I ended up here. Oh, wait I remember. My brother wanted to stay in the Fogo Island Inn. Yes, that Fogo Island Inn! Breath-taking. Elusive, Remote. Exclusive. It’s the sound of the North Atlantic Ocean...
As a Torontonian through and through, I have a pretty good grasp of the local scene. I can give you a list of things to do in Toronto at night or give you the ultimate 48 hour Toronto itinerary if you’ve only got a couple of days or a weekend to explore. I can...

Canada is where I call home.
I was born in Toronto, I live in Toronto, I work in Toronto and I party in Toronto.
I bleed blue for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Red for the Raptors and Toronto FC.
As much as I love travelling to other countries, I make a conscious effort to include my city, my province and my country in all my travels.

The Canadian dollar (symbol: $; code: CAD; French: dollar Canadian) is the currency of Canada.
Canadian cuisine varies widely as the country is so culturally diverse. The most common traditional Canadian dishes are poutine (tasty dish consists of french fries and cheese curds topped with light-brown gravy), Back Bacon and Maple Syrup.
Check, Check & Check – I love all three 🙂

In Toronto, the public transportation service is called the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). In Montreal, the public transportation authority is called the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). The “GO train ” is the most used railway system in the southern part of the province of Ontario. VIA Rail will take you across the country.
Canadians drive on the right-hand side of the road and speed limits are posted in metric units. Everyone in the car has to wear a seatbelt and mobile devices must be used in “hands-free” mode when driving.
Please note that Montreal is the only city in Canada that does not allow right-hand turns on a red light – they always need to be different those Montrealers. Sheesh.
Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver
Violent crime in Canada is low and almost non-existent in popular holiday spots and ski resorts. As with any popular nightlife area, fights and shooting can happen but very infrequent.

After so many years of travelling, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to put together a 48 hour Toronto itinerary. It’s where I was born, and it’s where I live, work and play, you’d think it would be easy to put together a list where to go in Toronto,...
The last time I visited Montreal was a whopping 10 years ago. Sheesh, that’s bad (and worse when said out loud). I’m from Toronto, but I don’t subscribe to the whole Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadians hockey rivalry. I cannot deny that a Montreal itinerary...

I am a city boy. I was born in Toronto, I live in Toronto, I work in Toronto and I play in Toronto. I find the sensory overload soothing - bright lights, screaming sirens, loud music, cars honking, trains and streetcars rumbling along tracks and the loud obnoxious...
Kingston has always been just there. You pass it on your way to Montreal, you pass it on your way to Ottawa and you pass it on your way back to Toronto. End of story. Yet, I have a colleague who raves about Kingston all the time and like most Torontonians who think...
