I visited Palm Desert & Palm Springs for a conference for work, but I spent as much time as I could trying to hunt down the best craft beer places in the area. Los Angeles was late to latching onto craft beer, so these interior deserts down Interstate 10 were even later to the scene. […]

An introduction to Portugal In Spring 2017, I spent a few weeks in Portugal. It was my first time in the country, aside from having taken a brief day trip to Faro when I was visiting Sevilla a few years prior. I used Porto & Lisbon as my bases, taking day trips from each. I […]

Passengers departing Calgary International Airport (YYC) and heading to the United States will clear U.S. immigration before departing Canada.

Following my trip to Portugal, I began to make my way home from Europe on a United Airlines award ticket, but I would be flying in business class on Air Canada from Frankfurt to Calgary on a Boeing 777-200LR. The plane (or at least the interior) was brand new. So much so that it actually […]

Most travelers to the Czech Republic visit Prague, and then they don’t end up going anywhere else. That’s a shame because the rest of the country has some beautiful places that are worth seeing.
