So my first travleing adventure after college (not that college wasn’t an adventure on it's own) was New York City! I had a 6 month scholarship with the American Foundation for the Blind working in their Communication Department. The job was only a small part my time there, the best memories come from the friends I made. I lived in the Menno House (it was first started by Mennonites, and is affordable housing for students, volunteers and such), though I'm not Mennonite and not everyone living there was. It was a rough start, most of my roommates didn't like me, but don't worry I soon grew on them, and now they love me! I had friends and family come visit me in the Big Apple, and did touristy stuff with them. My favorite times were doing ... read more

Buffalo reminds me of the saucy Buffalo Wing! Buffalo, New York was the first destination I went after the camp. The reason I visited Buffalo was the Niagara Falls - The largest fall in the world. My friend and I arrived at Buffalo early in the morning but we were stucked at the bus station due to the rain outside. We walked out from the station after 2 hours later and headed to the hostel and it wasn't that hard to look for the hostel and as soon as we arrived at the hostel, we were welcomed by a very friendly staff there and she were so kind by provided us lots of useful information on Buffalo and even suggested us the itinerary during our stay in Buffalo. Such a wonderful woman :) After a quick ... read more

Apparently it is unadvisable to ask girls to dance while in Halifax. Sitting at a table at St. Alexander's Pub in Halifax with 2 middle aged rednecks from Red Deer talking about gas prices was hardly what I had enivisioned for my night on the town in Halifax. And so, I stood up walked over to a table of harmless looking girls and kindly asked if any of them would feel like dancing. Suddenly as if sensing my foul intentions, an arm grabbed me and forcefully escorted me into the streets. Alone, drunk and bewildered, I found my way to another pub where I was fortunate enough to join a Dalhousie University Pub Crawl. The night became a blur, telling stories, drumming on a patio outside Pogue Fadu... and waking up safely in my comfy hostel ... read more
