Ko Phangan

…e only Americans there and most of the people were from Israel, Australia, Canada, Sweden and of course the UK. It had been a while for us since we were on a beach that was European in nature. The women were mostly topless and we were in heaven. After a day of enjoying the scenery we went into town for dinner. It’s not really a town though. It’s more of a street with a bunch of cheap restaurants selling Thai food and playing pirated first run movi…

Icebar Stockholm

…s far as I know there is only one other in the world and that’s in Quebec, Canada. Either way, I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in Stockholm. It’s only a half hour of your time, it’s pretty cool and certainly unique and can be fun with friends. It’ll cost you 180 Swedish krona which is about $22 and it’ll get you admission for 40 minutes and a specialty drink included, plus the jacket with built in gloves. I also suggest wearing so…

Lift the Travel Ban to Cuba

…dealing with bureaucracy of the US Government, you generally enter through Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Caymans or Venezuela. This is not the most attractive option and at the same time you will be worried that you may be fined upon your return to the States.

Where Can You Go For Cheap?

…get there sooner rather than later. As former exchange rate bastions like Canada, Australia and New Zealand have caught up to the US Dollar, it is really throwing off the economies of these countries and is really hurting the ability of tourists to spend as much money as they used to. Places like Africa and Latin America aren’t nearly as cheap as they once were and unfortunately a lot of times, prices have gone up but infrastructure and amenities…

Ville de Montréal

Montréal is the second largest city in Canada behind Toronto and the second largest French speaking city in the western world behind Paris. Montréal is where the old world meets the modern world. It has unquestionable charm and culture, with a real sense of self and some of the best cuisine around. Montréal is also the Canadian mecca of hockey and home to Les Canadiens de Montréal, whom have won a record 24 Stanley Cups. I was fortunate to be abl…

Beirut, Lebanon

…an heard me speak English and asked where I was from. Sometimes I will say Canada depending on the situation and who I am dealing with when traveling alone in less safe destinations. However, I felt I could speak freely here and I did say the US and she spoke English very well and mentioned she has lived in Calgary, Alberta for the past 20 years. She said she arrived in Beirut 10 days ago and it was her first time back in 20 years. She also went o…
