Seville – A Month Doesn’t Seem Long Enough

We came to Seville, Spain expecting some good food and wine. What Baharak and I didn’t expect was the overall happy vibe. Not that we thought the folks here would be moping around, but when you stroll down the cobblestone streets and see dozens of people laughing, singing, sharing stories and back slaps and dancing away in the square, it … Read More

Wellington Street, Montreal

It has so much to offer, from the architecture & history, the quiet laneways, the people and monuments to the classics (being the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe). Whether it’s sunny or rainy, crowded … Read More
