So, I woke up, and my first thought was probably "Shit, I have to go back to Trump now." Also, it's important to note that during my trip was when the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" Rally was. During my time waiting in line for my plane, I found out about more white supremacist rallies being planned,… Continue reading Flight to Boston

As part of the Niagara Falls tour, we were taken to lunch and a winery. The lunch was super pretty overlooking Lake Ontario: Next we drove to a winery. I can't even remember the name of the winery (to be honest, I don't know if I would've remembered a week afterwards, it was only mentioned… Continue reading Winery Tour

I stayed in a great Air BNB in the Don Mills area outside of Toronto. I had a few days by myself, a few days with a guest I never talked to (there were two Air BNB bedrooms in their finished basement), and a few days with a nice girl from Australia who I'm still connected… Continue reading Accommodations: Air BNB

Niagara River Boat Ride    Walking Around  Here's a map of Niagara Falls. It's taken from what would be the Canadian side. Pay attention to mostly just the immediate foreground. The three waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls.

I can't remember the exact timeline, but I believe we arrived at the helicopter site for Niagara Falls around 9:00 AM. Helicopter Ride      Video of the Helicopter Ride  Coming soon.... I've spent all night trying… Continue reading Niagara Falls: An Aerial View

They are on the islands of the inner harbour. Getting There  I visited Hanlan's Point Beach (on the ride side… Continue reading Toronto Beaches

Saturday's focus was a little bit more on self-care, and it was perfect timing, because hopefully as you know, Saturday was a rough day in the United States. I really had to try to step back and understand that at this moment, there was very little I could do. And I felt very very hopeless.… Continue reading Spa Day & Piercing

Friday's adventures were the next two big things on the list of "Top Things to Do in Toronto" - The Ontario Science Centre and the Royal Ontario Museum. Once I redeemed my City Pass ticket, I got a map and was immediately very confused by how this building was set-up (I definitely got lost inside a few… Continue reading Ontario Science Centre

In Canada, the drinking age varies by province unlike the US where it's 21 across the board, and in good ol' Ontario, it's 19. So 20-year-old me, still too young to be legal in the US, decided that checking out nightlife and the bar scene was a key part of this trip. I first visited… Continue reading Entertainment District
