I have been living in Canada since November 2016, and I thought I should share my first hand experiences from here while I move from place to place.
Lucy FramptonPublished 7 years ago in Wander Walking In the Footsteps of the Ancient Romans
I have always been a bit fascinated with the Romans. I won’t bore you with the detailed distinctions between Ancient Rome, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire, but suffice to say that the centuries defined by the power of Rome was an incredibly exciting period of history that really shaped the world as we know it today.
Gareth JohnsonPublished 7 years ago in WanderBest Vacation Spots In Ireland
When planning a vacation to Ireland, you might know where the best vacation spots in Ireland are. Much of the Irish population is centered in a few select cities, leaving much of the country wide-open territory – a frontier of locations to visit and take in that most people never see.
Miranda O'ConnerPublished 7 years ago in WanderMost Overrated Travel Destinations
There are certain places on this planet that we are regularly told that we should want to go to. Or, perhaps we actually do want to check them out. They're supposed to be where "it all happened," or they're supposed to be incredibly glamorous. Cool as they are supposed to be, the reality is that these kinds of tourist-rich venues tend to be really overblown.
Rowan MarleyPublished 7 years ago in WanderSix Places to Travel by Train In Europe
With the advent of discount flights, the default way of travelling around Europe seems to have become flying. Trying to cram everything into a small carry-on suitcase, having to limit your liquids to small bottles that won’t trigger any security alerts, getting to the airport at least an hour before you leave, standing in endless queues, and trying to stay upbeat and positive when everyone around you is become increasingly irritable and grumpy. There’s not much to love about flying.

Hip hop is one of those things that has changed the way people see the world forever. It's not only a form of music. It's a lifestyle, it's a culture, and it's a community. Now that hip hop has been around since the 70s, it's hard to deny that it's a force in and of its own.
Skunk UzekiPublished 7 years ago in WanderSix Great UK Coastal Destinations
An island nation, it’s not surprising that the United Kingdom is blessed with some fantastic coastal locations to explore and experience. While the weather may not always lend itself to lying on the beach, sipping cocktails, and working on your tan, nevertheless there is plenty of interest around the coast of Great Britain.
Gareth JohnsonPublished 7 years ago in WanderAn Expat Guide to South Korea
I moved to South Korea to pursue my Doctoral Degree last February 2015. I did minor research before coming in, since Philippines and South Korea are both Asian countries, I didn't expect there would be a need for huge adjustment. But in South Korea, prepare to be surprised! Here are some of the things I wish someone had briefed me about.
Cil BorlazaPublished 7 years ago in WanderTop Songs to Listen to On the Beach
Summer is quickly approaching and with it the season of sunblock, sand in between your toes, weird tan lines, and great music to listen to on the beach. Whether you’re on a vacation or happen to be blessed enough to live by one of the sandy coasts, no trip to the beach is complete with the ultimate playlist.
Venice
The city is full of romance and mystery; an inspiration to poets with its maze of alleys, streets and canals steeped in history and character. One can almost visualize the masqueraded figures of old, rushing by to a secret rendezvous.
Lisa Jackie GrimaPublished 7 years ago in WanderUltimate List of Travel Movies
Some of the earliest stories written told of heroes traveling to new vistas; it should be no surprise that so many travel movies have been released. Each film tackles different elements of travel. Sometimes, traveling can be a wacky trip to some destination. Other times, it's a spiritual and emotional experience. And then it can be a hollow, tragic notion that leaves everyone miserable.
Patricia SarkarPublished 7 years ago in WanderHow to Live Like a Local In London
When you’re visiting a new or unfamiliar city, it can sometimes feel a little difficult to really get to grips with the place within a relatively short period of time. As a visitor, it's hard to get under the skin of a city – you inevitably feel like an outsider, like you're somehow skating across the surface and missing out on some of the real gems that only the locals seem to understand.
