When my BFF (G) called me last August to tell me she got engaged, my first reaction was shock. Well, not really, it was pretty anticlimatic, but it sounds better when I say that. It was actually excitement, especially because now we could book the vacation we had been planning for so…

Forty days backpacking from Panama City to Managua.

The trip started a little on the wrong foot when the Emirates flight departing Dubai on the morning of 5th July was delayed by two hours due to a technical fault. I was left with just 20 mins upon arrival in London Heathrow to catch my connecting Air Canada flight to Calgary. I think I clocked the …

Lots of rest and relaxation during my first full day in Calgary. The second day saw me attending to motorcycle maintenance matters, while on day three I went for a long walk on a beautiful day which took me to many places, including to the top of the Calgary Tower.
