Especially with brief trips, an overzealous traveller can make the mistake of creating an itinerary that is so specific it's nothing but a checklist. It's created so fastidiously prior to one's trip out of the fear of missing anything that it causes one to do just that: miss out.

It’s snow joke: this week's big travel story came courtesy of two epic snowstorms that continue to wreak havoc in parts of Canada and the United Sta...

Sustainable vacationing is about choosing a way to have a holiday that will fully support the local community, the environment and the health of both the staff and the guests. These are things we rarely think about when we book that all inclusive package to lay at the beach for a week sipping on daiquiris.

If this week's travel photo round-up is an indication of anything, it's that travel and food go hand in hand. After all, what better way to experi...

Matt Mays calls Dartmouth the New Jersey of Nova Scotia. If that's the case, you could say he is the Bruce Springsteen of the Maritimes. Songs about life in Mays' unheralded hometown located on the other side of the big city are reminiscent of how Springsteen so often wrote about the characters on the Jersey Shore during his early career.

2013 is off to a snowy, yet beautiful start if this week's photos from Canadian are any indication of the New Year. While the thought of snow and ...

I am in a remote village on the Pacific coast of Colombia. One road leads in and out, extending as far as the next village. This is my second time here. A year ago, had I been told someone was shot, I would have panicked. This year, I brush it off.

It was a busy time for Canadians thanks to Christmas and Boxing Day landing smack dab in the middle of the week. For some, the holiday break meant hea...

What a week. Not only did Canadians have to contend with wild weather across the country and some of the busiest airport line-ups of the year, but the...

My friend Julia and I arrived in Santiago, picked up a map and walked to Central Plaza de Armas Square. It wasn't too long before I heard my friend scream. After a couple of seconds of shock it finally registered that a man had been following us and had just ripped my friend's purse off of her and ran.

But residents insist there's magic in the waters of the lake

December marks a unique time for Canadians travellers. For some, the last few weeks before the new year mean it's now or never to use up those last va...

Brrrr! Do you feel that? That is the sound of December's chill knocking at your door. Now, while some of us had no choice but to stay and open our...

Bruce Miller is Bayman to the core, with a lilt in his brogue and a ready wink to go with his easy smile. He makes a meagre living as a fisherman and labourer and augments his income operating one of the most unique and riveting tours in Canada, taking visitors to communities affected by Newfoundland's controversial resettlement.
