Two years of living abroad and I have to say, it never ceases to amaze me the luck I walk into. Two months ago, I knew nothing about Edinburgh. Absolutely nothing. I’d heard a word here and there about a festival, recalled some forgotten conversations about an underground city and google-imaged it a few times, but much like the shock of… Read more →
I wouldn’t blame you for thinking that Córdoba looks like any other Spanish city. Today, it does. But if we go back to when the Romans conquered, say to 206 BC (yup, so far back that even Jesus wasn’t around!) it was the capital of Hispania Ulterior (Roman Republic).

This is “The Yukon”, a far-removed territory in Northern Canada that I’ve heard so much about. A place, I’ve been told, where people return… Read more →
Imagine a place so well-hidden that you need to wear snowshoes and trek 22km (return) through treacherous mountain peaks, heavy snow and potentially erratic weather just to experience it? It exists. In the middle of the mountains, far from the hustle and bustle and petty worries of the world, sits a solar-powered, propane heated cottage with all the furnishings one could desire after… Read more →
Vancouver is a picturesque cosmopolitan city framed by snow-capped mountains, forest and pristine coastline. One of Canada’s warmest cities in Winter, its climate and seaside location attracts both local and international visitors year-round. It consistently ranks in the top 3 for most livable cities in the world. As someone who has spent the past few years living and working in Vancouver, I’d like to share some… Read more →
