The person pulling the bag is only visible from the upper thighs, down. They're wearing dark wash jeans and brown sneakers with green accents and white laces. There are support beams and floor-to-ceiling windows visible in the background, leading you to believe that this image was captured in a airport.

    Taking on Paris

    A gem of a city filled with countless attractions and sights, deciding what to do on your first (or even second) trip to Paris can be tough. In this article, "adopted" Parisienne Jillian Madrid of blog Behind the Carry On, a veteran of La Ville-Lumière, outlines all the top locations you should be visiting on your trip. Paris is one of my favourite European cities. I love France as a whole, but there’s something so special about Paris. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit Pari

    Swooped in a Circle: Why I'll Never Fly With Swoop Airlines Ever Again

    After a seemingly infinite number of issues with the ultra-low-cost carrier Swoop Airlines, Cassandra Fata warns all fellow travellers to avoid this company at all costs. After all, you wouldn't want your vacation experience turning into horror story, just like hers did. A few months ago, my cousin won a contest for a return flight with Swoop (a Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier, owned by WestJet). This had been really exciting, as I had wanted to come visit her for her birthda

    Making the Most of a South Korean Vacation

    Looking to travel to South Korea? Here are some key tips from expat Sarah Maine, who currently lives here. I have been living in South Korea for almost six months now, and I am loving every minute of it. I teach English to elementary school students in a small town called Gongju, and when I’m not teaching, I am spending as much time as possible getting to know this wonderful country. Living in a new country – specifically in a very rural, conservative area – has its set of ch

    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

    Packing for an International Trip

    While planning my trip to the United Kingdom to visit my friends, I've been compiling a list of must-haves while travelling on an international flight. A lot of this post will be similar to my article on packing for a domestic trip, which I wrote back in June prior to my trip to Edmonton, Alberta. Shortly before I even went on my trip to Edmonton, I experienced a mixture of suddenly cheap airfare to Manchester (I'll be flying with Icelandair) + a drop in the British pound + a

    Airplane Playlists

    Whenever I fly, both long and short distances, bringing my iPod + Spotify playlists with me are always a must. Today's post consists of my favourite playlists when travelling! Whenever I fly, both long and short distances, bringing my iPod with me is always a must. I've always felt the need to cancel out the murmur of people sitting around me, regardless of how quiet it may be. I recently got a pair of Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones and I'm obsessed with how well they

Today's post explains why travelling is beneficial even when your struggling monetarily, and outlines how you can still do it while paying off your debts.

    The ParisPass

    Thinking of going to Paris? Check out my review below, complete with lots of photos of many of the landmarks included! The ParisPass was well worth the money spent, especially because it included the price of transportation in Zones 1, 2, and 3. I was able to make use of it throughout my seven day trip (I bought the six day pass, spending the last day simply roaming around the city and taking in all the sights and foods). Unfortunately, the pass does not include the Eiffel To

    Ethereal Europe: Old Prague

    Brimming with culture, history, and utter beauty, Old Prague has easily become one of my favourite European destinations. This post outlines the best places to visit, the highlights of the city, and many accompanying photos. Prague is a breathtakingly old city that, when viewed aerially, appears to be an intricate labyrinth of bright red-orange roofs. I was first immersed in its incitement of utter awe at the age of seventeen during my first trip to Europe. The perfectly pres

    Here's a look into the benefits of and excursions included in the Toronto CityPass. Let me begin simply by saying that the Toronto CityPass is definitely worth the money spent, if you are visiting Toronto. Last July, my cousins from Edmonton came to visit and we immediately set out to get the pass, so that I could take them touring around the city. You save a total of (just more than) 40% off regular general admission price for five of Toronto's top attractions, places I woul

    Choosing Your Next Travel Destination

    Deciding where your next trip will be can be a tough conclusion to come to, particularly because there are so many potential options to narrow it down from. For me, I know that traveling to a new country is certain before February of 2018, as I'm moving away for school (currently looking at the U.S., New Zealand, Australia, and England right now), but there is so much more I want to see beyond any one of those countries. I have my friend in Manila, Philippines that I want to
