See the world through my eyes and I'll see it through yours
My 2020 vacation was officially on. Although Corona had tried with all its might to get me to stay home, closeted and afraid, I was finally going to another province and city for a good 10 days. This next blog series will be about my fantastic vacation in British Columbia. First stop - Revelstoke. My [...]
One question that inevitably finds it way to my conversations with potential mates (guys) is "do you like to cook?" For some, this would be a straightforward answer, either Yes or No. But for me, it's a little complicated, or at least I make it out to be. You see, I grew up the first [...]
After a nice exhilarating long weekend in the Banff area a couple of weeks ago, I was excited to go the opposite direction. I called up a friend of mine and we agreed to make a day trip to Jasper national park. We were up early and out of Edmonton by 7:30am. Our itinerary was [...]
After being cooped up in my small apartment for months due to my unreasonable paranoia about catching COVID-19, I had gradually begun to venture out into the open, taking in the sights and smells of the environment. I even went out for drinks... gasps. Numerous people had generated memes about not counting 2020 and having [...]

On a side note, I recently tried to evaluate why I liked taking pictures so much. I am [...]
Yayyy, the national parks are open!! With the Alberta economy taking a beating due to the fluctuating price of crude oil, the province decided to open up the national parks, probably to increase spending and to keep us wander lusting Albertans sane. Whatever the reason was, I was going to take advantage of this, I [...]
In early March, when more countries had started recording cases of the pandemic, I was already starting to get scared, thinking that I would have to keep going to work and sharing tiny elevator spaces with tons of people. I am sure my soft respectful grumbling about safety must have reached the ears of the [...]
I have several reasons for starting this blog. It wasn't just to motivate me to travel and chronicle my travels, it was also to make sense of the world I live in by writing. Prior to this blog, I had never actually written outside the required essay for school or the structured business case required [...]
My understanding of mental health is relatively new. Prior to living in Canada, my perception of someone with mental health issues was "that the person was mental, kolo, or possessed. These terms all mean crazy to one degree or another. Obviously, my knowledge and awareness about mental health was severely lacking. And though I am [...]
