So remember back when we were in India and thought we’d volunteered to be extras in a Bollywood movie? And then it turns out it was a French movie taking place in Mumbai? And remember when we’d spent HOURS sitting around and had to fight to get our 10 dollars of compensation for our 12…
‘Just because’ is always a good reason to travel, but truth be told, Ewan and I have been caught up in the day to day without many ‘just because’ trips floating around our heads. However, last fall we made a plan with fellow fan friends to see the Calgary Flames on a road trip. We…
It’s the Spring season, a time for being outside and enjoying the weather. But there will still be those days when Mother Nature has different intentions, forcing you to stay inside. So what are you to do when you’re faced with possible cabin fever? Of course: board games! But… do you really want to pull…
Hello world, Ewan here. I’ve decided to chime in for the first time in a while. And unlike my other posts this one is not pertaining to graffiti, rather to something even closer to my heart; The Calgary Flames. Those of you who know me are well aware of this obsession. For all of you…
Yes. Clapping, lasers and Twistos is an apt description of how we spent last Thursday night. How? Well, we were part of a studio audience for the premiere of Big Brother Canada Season 3; our tickets being a perk from Ewan’s work.

I think one of the reasons why I love Toronto is because there are always events going on, even in the cold cold month of February. If you really wanted to, you could go to some sort of action everyday of the week, and STILL be missing out on other events. This week I got…
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.…
Bollywood is big business and the epicentre of activity is seemingly Mumbai. I’d read on other blogs and in our guidebook that it is possible to be approached in Mumbai by folks asking if you want to be an extra, and this was something that we felt open to if it happened. Sure enough, on…
We waltzed at a break neck speed (compared to the rest of our travels this year) through Europe. One of the main take-aways from our time in Eastern Europe was that we love room escape games. The premise: you are locked in a room that has all the tools you need to get out of…
When you think of an oasis, what do you picture? For us, we think of mountains of sand towering over a small puddle of a body of water, surrounded by palm trees. We didn’t see that mental image come to life when we went to the Al Ain oasis in the UAE. But then, we…
