humor

Between language barriers, culture wars, and strange people at the airport, your trip is bound to be rife with laughter.

is it really peace — or is it loneliness?
There’s a fine line between solitude and isolation, one that isn’t always easy to distinguish. We often glorify the idea of being content with our own company, of finding peace in moments of quiet.

Ice, Fire, Puffin Crumpets, and Pints
Been wanting to go to Iceland for a long time, as it’s so close to the UK and is supposed to be amazing. However, it did take until the New Year to come to fruition due to the fact that it costs somewhere in the region of a billion pounds.

White Out
It was a fun night. For those of you who missed it, Montréal had its annual Nuit Blanche, just before our Spring break and at the end of another long week of teaching and work that really drained me.

Hello Kitty
Aw, how cute, kitties basking in the sun and friendly too. Maybe indifferent is a better choice of words. Walk up to one of these furry creatures and it won’t scoot away. In fact, you may have to walk around or over it.

Why San Juan del Sur Isn’t the Beach Paradise We Hoped For
The first beach day we had in San Juan del Sur was strange to say the least. We found a nice spot and I sat cross-legged with my palms resting on my thighs, eyes closed, and headphones in place for my guided meditation. In that moment, I felt like I practically had a “do not disturb” sign around my neck, but I found myself being shaken like a cocktail tumbler, and I opened my eyes to see a man grinning at me as he pleaded for money. I shook my head and said “So sorry, but no, I don’t have anything”

In 1962, the CBS network debuted a TV show called The Beverly Hillbillies.

On the advice of his kinfolk, he moved his mother-in-law, daughter, and cousin’s son to Beverly Hills, California.

The House That Assaulted All Five Senses
The house assaulted the senses like a tidal wave. It was March 2023 and I needed a place to stay for three months as I ducked out of Canada to renew my visa. I’d met Skye (not her real name) while I’d been holed up in Cancún a couple of years prior during the global pandemic, and we’d established a friendship. On hearing of my desired return to the Riviera Maya, she offered a room in her four-bedroom home for a really good price.
