TweetI like London. I mean, I don’t love London. But then again, I don’t hate it. And I supposed that the previous statement pretty much sums up my feelings towards London: “meh.” When I was younger, I dreamed of living in a city like London. In fact, I dreamed of living in London. I wanted [...]

TweetCan someone please tell me what this “sleep” thing is that everyone keeps talking about?  I don’t think I’ve had a proper night in about a month.  Not that I’m complaining though.  Not sleeping means that there are much more exciting things going on. Over the past two months I’ve travelled across 11 counties, taken [...]

TweetIt was hard not to get swept away by the social media wave that was created around the KONY 2012 movement last month.  And, personally, I think that the motive behind the effort was brilliant.  It showed what a powerful tool social media can be, and it exposed a serious issue in the meantime.  However, [...]

TweetAs a younger version of myself I remember hearing the stories of Northern Ireland and of Belfast. Those names were synonymous with violence, bombings, rioting and, quite frankly, hatred. But as I wandered the streets of Belfast for 3 days I couldn’t help but wonder where the signs, or perhaps the scars, of those days [...]

TweetIt seems like you see them everywhere in the world you go. They are plastered on hats, t-shirts, bumper stickers, and pretty much any other place 3 letters and a heart can be fitted. Every time I see the common “I Heart NY” pasted on something, it angers me. I’m not sure what it is, [...]

TweetI’m not exactly sure what it is with Haiti, but I’ve always been drawn to the country in some existential way.  I’ve felt a pull to Haiti long before its disasters made news or aid agencies drenched the streets.  I always knew that I had some sort of purpose for Haiti, or that perhaps Haiti [...]

TweetI still remember the university class when I first saw “The Feast of the Goat”.  The course was called The Military History of Latin America, taught by a young and energetic professor who I was sure couldn’t even have a Master’s degree, he was just too excited.  The first day of the course he handed [...]

TweetI pride myself on being able to travel on a budget. I mean, I’m not one of those people that brags about being able to live on 3 dollars a day while eating dry noodles every day. I believe it spending money reasonably while travelling to get the most out of it. I believe that [...]

TweetI’m sure that most of you have already heard of my latest project Vagabundo Magazine.  I’ve been harping on about the magazine for the past couple months and have been working very hard to try to make it a success. In the end, I am very excited to be able to announce that just a [...]

Tweet“Has that Canadian kid been drafted yet?” My dad asked me as I sat intently watching the NBA draft to find out who my favourite team, and only recently established, Toronto Raptors had drafted. “There’s a Canadian in the draft?” I asked my dad while a little shocked. As a kid year old I grew [...]
