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

Winery Tour
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
Accommodations: Air BNB
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

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
Spa Day & Piercing
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
Royal Ontario Museum
After visiting the Science Centre, it was off to the Royal Ontario Museum, commonly called the ROM. The ROM is a museum of art, world culture, and natural history. The museum is the largest in Canada with a collection of over 6,000,000. I found the ROM to be similar to the Museum of Fine Arts in… Continue reading Royal Ontario Museum

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
