For some people in North America, years out of middle school, Labor Day (Labour Day in Canada) still brings with it a sort of queasy back-to-school anxiety. Call it anti-nostalgia. Yes, a few of us definitely have a love-hate relationship with summer’s swansong.
Sure, for countless parents everywhere Labor Day signals a thankful final end to [...]
It’s a city too often neglected in favor of London, Manchester and Liverpool but one well worth a visit for travelers in England with enough time on their hands. Birmingham is the United Kingdom’s “Second City” and England’s famous Industrial Revolution engine. Those “workshop of the world” days were a long, long time ago however [...]
There will always be a travel market for the most niche, inhospitable places in the world. Polar opposites of where mainstream tourists prefer to go, you could even say. Enter tourism in Antarctica.

Canadians are famously self-deprecating, a trait most recently put on international display during the closing ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympics. The decidedly laid-back end to the Games featured satirical send-ups of all things stereotypically “Canadian”, from Mounties to moose, maple syrup to canoes.

I love a good train ride. Take for example, the Mountain Railways of India. Together, they form a venerable UNESCO World Heritage Site and provide visitors with a peerless way to appreciate the country. People too, are more than a little familiar with the heritage railways of England and Germany (more on both in features [...]
The Calvados department of Basse-Normandie is a prim, unobtrusive pocket of France that I particularly enjoy. For Calvados apple brandy of course (a spirit I drink from time to time) but also for seaside resorts, manors and picturesque scenery.
The Calvados capital of Caen captures all these features in one fabulous package. The city of William [...]
I didn’t anticipate the need to serialize a piece about smoking laws around the world but alas, here we are!

People have lived in Aberdeen, a city with a colorful history, for more than 8,000 years. Old Aberdeen took shape at the mouth of the River Don and New Aberdeen grew on the banks of the River Dee. The two towns became one in 1891. Aberdeen is now Scotland’s third largest city and home to [...]

Mendoza is the nerve center of wine and adventure tourism in Argentina. If you like to raise a glass of bold red and paraglide off a mountain, this is the place for you.
The city has a metro population of more than 850,000 people, fourth in Argentina and is on Ruta Nacional 7, a branch of [...]
