LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I am extremely grateful that I get to live on the traditional territory of the Wolastoqiyik (Malisset) and Mi’Kmaq Peoples. I acknowledge the damage and injustice that has been done to First Nations Peoples by settlers and that still needs to be addressed and corrected. I promise to revere this land that I live, play and create on; to treat its resources with respect; and to support Indigenous business and cultural initiatives whenever and wherever possible.

When we tell people that we’ve just come back from a week in Guadeloupe, it’s surprising how often the response is, “Where’s Guadeloupe?” It’s right in between several other popular Caribbean winter getaways that we northerners seek out – even … Continue reading

Haiti: There’s more to sun destinations than just sun, and sometimes it’s heartbreaking
As we watch from afar as the extraordinarily impoverished Caribbean nation of Haiti gets pummeled by Hurricane Matthew, it’s hard to take in just how many forces of destruction have hit the Haitian people throughout their existence. Most recently, the … Continue reading
Baja California (Mexico): A sun destination is about more than just the sun
One of the many March Break getaways we’ve taken that stands out for me because of its unexpected offerings other than warm weather and sun was a week we spent in the southern Baja. For easterners, the Baja isn’t top … Continue reading

Labour Day. Everyone’s back to school tomorrow. So what should be next on the to-do list? Why, planning this year’s March Break, naturally! It’s never too early, especially when you live in a slightly out of the way place in … Continue reading
