5 Places Around the World, Reminiscent of Tolkien's World
In honour of the release of Dome Karukoski's new film Tolkien, Wanderous Affair's editor-in-chief, Emily Fata, put together a list of five places she's encountered around the world that are reminiscent of Middle-earth. Just one of millions of people captivated by the immersive fantastical imagination of J.R.R. Tolkien, it's unsurprising that I am excited for the upcoming North American release of the film 'Tolkien' on May 10th. Although I love Peter Jackson's cinematic rendit

Winter in Edmonton
Winter in Canada's west is not only one of the prettiest experiences you can have, but also one of the most fun places to spend these cold months. Edmonton is packed with many things to do in January that can be enjoyed at any age, across the city as a whole. Today's post by Wanderous Affair's editor-in-chief outlines just a few of her favourite activities during her recent stay in the City of Champions. “Winter in Edmonton”… now there’s a title I never thought that I would b

Cruising Through Drumheller's Wild West Badlands
During her time in the province of Alberta this summer, Wanderous Affair's editor-in-chief, Emily Fata, took a day trip to the town of Drumheller with two of her cousins. Thanks to the award-winning Wild West Badlands Tours, they made the most of exploring this incredible landscape. While staying with my cousins in Edmonton for nearly two months this summer, it was no surprise that we had a multitude of day trips planned together. I had spent three weeks in the city in 2017,

Discovering the Greater Toronto Area by Zodiac Sign

She delves into this beautiful lakeside community, including her favourite restaurant to eat at while visiting. “You should take a trip, based on your zodiac sign,” suggested Lindsay Tiger in her September article (“The trip you should take this fall, based on your zodiac sig

Broadway Across Canada's Les Misérables
I had the pleasure of seeing Broadway Across Canada's production of Les Misérables in Edmonton, Alberta a couple of weeks back. Here is my review of the amazing musical! From the very first powerful notes of Overture/Work Song, Broadway Across Canada (BAC)'s production of Les Misérables immediately sent goosebumps up my arms and neck. I sat on the edge of my seat, my lips mouthing the words of each song as one number led into the next. Despite having never seen Les Mis perfor

The Best of Alberta
Looking back at one of my favourite trips *ever*, exploring the province of Alberta with my cousins was a highlight of 2017. I talk about all of the amazing things to do, see, and explore in this beautiful part of Canada. At the very beginning of summer 2017, between June and July, I travelled across Canada from Toronto, Ontario to Edmonton, Alberta to visit with my cousins for nearly three weeks. This was my first time travelling there, as well as going so far out of provinc

Camp 30
One of the coolest places to explore in the eastern part of the Great Toronto Area, Camp 30 is an abandoned WWII POW camp that's filled with an eerie history and countless photo ops. It was summertime when I went to the eerie Camp 30 in Bowmanville with a couple of my friends. Camp 30 was a school for delinquent boys that was converted to a POW camp for Nazi officers during WWII. After the war, it was used a private training school, a Catholic secondary school, and then as Da

A couple years ago, my dad took us to iFly Toronto a the coolest Christmas gift EVER! Check out today's post for more information on what it was like, and how you can book a package for yourself.

My best friend had gone about five years ago in Montréal and ever since I heard about it, I've been w

"Hello, Ocean. It's Nice to Meet You."
I came across these old blog posts that I wrote during my trip to Indian Shores Florida in August of 2015, and I couldn’t help but share them with you! Here’s the first, from Monday, August 31, 2015, just days after my twenty-first birthday: I arrived in Tampa Bay, Florida with my dad, Alex, and Tamara on Saturday morning after a two and a half hour flight from Buffalo. I waited with baited breath to finally arrive at the condo we rented for a week in Indian Shores, mostly to

Rebound Vacation > Rebound Relationship
From personal experience, I found that a rebound vacation cures a broken heart better than any rebound relationship ever could. I talk more about why this is so below. For many people, the first instinct after a break up is to just move on by throwing yourself headfirst into a new relationship. We often think that dating new people will be the strings that pull ourselves back together, but it’s often not the case; this isn’t to say that a rebound relationship can never lead t
