Located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, near the exit of the Mediterranean Sea into the Atlantic Ocean, Gibraltar dominates the landscape, catching the eye of any traveler. Here we are, ready to explore The Rock on foot, at our own pace, the way we like to do it. Although we love exploring places on foot, we knew nothing about all the ups and downs that would follow.
With ten provinces and three territories, Canada is the second-largest country in the world. The southernmost province Ontario acquired its name from the Indigenous Iroquois word “kanadario”, which translates into “sparkling water”. With five Great Lakes nearby and about 250,000 freshwater lakes, it’s no wonder!
Although it only covers 108 square miles, this small island of Antigua is famous for having 365 beaches, it is said that one for every day of the year, how nice that would be😊 The little Caribbean paradise is known for other thing too, and depending on how much time you have, there is something here for every interest and/or length of stay.
His heart continued to beat strongly long after nightfall. As darkness fell, an eerie silence enveloped the entire train, and only the jerky rhythm of the wheels on the tracks could be heard.
He raised his eyes to the sky and saw the gates of a new universe opening. As a child he had run away countless times, but this time his run was no longer a run from the past, but a run to the future, towards a new, rediscovered self, almost like the suffering of a new enduring and overwhelming passion, as he sometimes liked to accept.
I had a silly thought at one point that if I didn’t post any winter picture, this season would pass quickly and the spring would arrive right away. A few people told me in late fall, while we were still admiring the fall foliage, that we are going to have a mild winter. I was reluctant at the thought of a gray winter and was amused and encouraged by the idea of a short and warm one.
Established in 1893, Algonquin Park is the oldest provincial park in Canada. It is located about 3 hours north of Toronto, and its unique mix of forest types, contrasting with the colourful Canadian Shield, along with over 2,400 lakes and 1,200 km of streams and rivers, and thousands of square kilometres of forests, makes the park one of the most famous in Ontario.
Located in the heart of Algoma Country, Aubrey Falls is an underrated destination. About two hours northeast of Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, these stunning waterfalls are somehow off the tourist radar.
Returning from a road trip along the north shore of Lake Superior, we thought we would take a detour off the beaten path and see Aubrey Falls for ourselves.
A visit to the Thunder Bay area along Lake Superior, Ontario, is not complete without a visit to The Sleeping Giant. We had the opportunity to see the giant’s profile from Marina Park back in 2021 and I have been thinking about it ever since. Famous primarily for one of the most iconic trails in Ontario, the Sleeping Giant was the main reason we returned here.
