After all our travels to the US, it was remarkable to us that we had never been to the American Capital. Fortunes had it that we were able to go to Washington DC over the Independence Day long weekend, so we were excited to see how the city celebrates July 4th. A huge bonus was…
Happy New Year! Well, we are back and getting settled into life in Canada. And while we are getting into a routine, the concept of staying put in one place isn’t hampering our style. It helps that we live in Canada’s biggest city, Toronto, whose population and diversity provides countless options for things to do.…
Though it’s only been 4 days since we’ve been in Mumbai, it seems a world away. The bustling city was not at all what I expected. A charming colonial area with beautiful architecture, a haze that stretched out over the water making the sea and sky blend together seamlessly. And despite being a super big…

On our last full day in Delhi, we were unsure as to what we should do. Being that Diwali was still in full-force, we weren’t sure what would be open. Plus, we were looking forward to heading to Rajasthan and while we hadn’t seen everything in Delhi, we knew we wanted a short and sweet…

Our mostly winging-it plan for Sri Lanka was to do a clockwise sweep of the lower half of the island nation. This plan fell through when we found that our option to head to the east coast from Kandy would involve several stops by bus or train, with no two people quoting us the same…
The cheapest flight you can find is most likely not the most direct or comfortable way to travel. But for a year of traveling where every penny counts, many a time we have indeed chosen the least pricy way to get from point A to B. And this, dear friends, is how Ewan and I…
Antalya is Turkey’s ‘biggest international sea resort’ and a pretty good hub for many places in the country. We opted to stay there because we had the time and because it would provide a last chance to breath in the Mediterranean before moving on. We didn’t have any grand plans and so hadn’t built up…
