4 Reasons Camping as an Adult Is Superior to Camping as a Child
When I met my husband, he was the biggest outdoorsman I’d ever come across; he went rock climbing, hiked and scaled mountains, skied in the winter, and he spent every free hot summer moment in the river. He also adored camping and wanted to take me with him.

Relish in the Company of Shakespeare
Crossing the bridge from the majestic site of Notre Dame, you are met with a literary sanctuary hidden amongst the busy, tourist-populated streets of Paris. It is the Shakespeare and Company bookshop, attracting tourists from all over the world, as well as dedicated collectors, and most recently- myself.

Exploring Halifax
At the Canadian Museum of Immigration in Halifax, you can find yourself exploring the permanent Pier 21 exhibit. Throughout the years, Pier 21 was Canada's open door to the world, where people came in to embark on a new journey towards a better life. Many people left behind family and friends to start a new life abroad, but as people's lives change so do the things in our environment. As our technology advanced along with society, so did our modes of transportation. With boats slowly making their way out of our everyday mode of ocean wide transportation, airplanes became a better and quicker method of transport, thus causing Pier 21 to close its doors on March 28, 1971. The last ship to bring immigrants to Pier 21 in 1971 was the SS Nieuw Amsterdam (II), which bore the same name as the first ship to bring immigrants to the Pier in 1928.

Culture is a term that has no definite definition. Depending on the context in which it is spoken, culture has various meaning. Cultural Anthropology defines the term "culture" as a set of ideas, values, and beliefs shared by collectively by a community. However, many believe that the definition of culture has more to do with the differences in diverse groups of people. That idea, alone, proves that there are different ways in which to define the term culture.

11 Most Extreme Places to Camp in the World
I love going camping with my son Jarret. Ever since the divorce, it's been an opportunity for him and I to bond over frugal gourmet like hotdogs stuffed with string cheese and wrapped in bacon or ice cream cones stuffed with mini marshmallows, Nutella, and crushed cookies. Both cooked in a tin foil wrapping! We also cook a lot of other tin foil campfire recipes. I would love to take our camping adventures to the next level, but he has too many fears. We don't have to start with the most extreme places to camp in the world, but I'd love to work our way up to one of these destinations so that even after I'm gone he still remember how his father pushed him to be his best self and to step out of his comfort zone, both figuratively and literally.

Budget-Friendly Things That Are Worth Doing at Disney World
Last summer, my family and I made a week trip to Disney World. We went on a tight budget because it's, well, Disney, and they like to charge an arm and a leg for everything. After a lot of research through blogs and info pages online, I found that there are actually quite a few cute little budget-friendly things that you and your family can do.

London Clubs
London is an extraordinary city. It became even more extraordinary when I found out about the night life after ten years of living in the city. I came across a host of clubs...some of the best I have ever seen in my life—and trust me, I have clubbed everywhere in the world, most notably in Cannes and Monaco, as well as Spain, Turkey, Germany, and Montenegro.

Ireland
Going to Ireland feels like going home. There’s a sense of calm excitement that comes over you once you arrive whether it’s your first time or your fifty-first time. And if you’re not careful, you may lose part of your heart and soul once you step on Irish soil. So be prepared!

The Joyless Jigsaw
Let me disappoint you. Even though he isn’t happy, this post won’t reference the villain from the Saw films. Oh. Well, now it does. Never mind. It’s also not (quite) a full review of a jigsaw. I’ve got no clue what you’d say. "The picture was nice but I couldn’t put the pieces together because I’m bad at jigsaws. 2 and a half stars."—The picture wasn’t even that great—that’s actually it being used as the title image. Thank you, Google. Or not as the case may be. The Katherine Ryan gig had ended by this point, which you’d think would mean the fun had too. "When the Katherine Ryan gig has ceased to exist, so has the enjoyment of the witnesses" is a Chinese proverb (invented in South Wales literally a few seconds AFTER it was written down. Yes, after).
