As a forward, I’d like to say that going to Thailand and visiting Elephant Nature Park Chiang Mai was something I was really excited to do! Having read other blogs about the experience I guess I had a preconceived notion that I’d be helping in the same way as one would volunteering to clean up a park…

Weekend Warriors: Daedun Cloud Bridge and Chateau Mani Winery
On a Friday night in February, I hopped on a bus from the WinK Taphouse and headed down to the middle of Korea. WinK has definitely stepped up their food menu game. I really enjoyed the spicy mac and cheese, which had a real kick to it and plenty of bacon. The ooey-gooey cheese is…

InterContinental Hotels Group: “Sex and the City” Edition
https://www.instagram.com/p/8bY9pQByUr/ You may have clicked on this article thinking it would be about New York City and our four fashionable friends, Charlotte, Miranda, Samantha, and Carrie. While I do love thinking about the food, fashion, and luxury of The Big Apple, Abu Dhabi is certainly the way to go when reenacting any of the moments…
InterContinental Hotels Group near NYC’s Top 10 Attractions
Photographer: Steve Richey New York City is one of those magical places which has something for everyone. Back in 2011 I was convinced that I’d be taking a Master’s degree at New York University. I was supposed to stay with a friend of mine while in town for my audition, but her place had to be…
Seoul Staycations: Hotel Maui DDM
As an English Teacher living in Korea, my lodgings aren’t exactly where or what I thought they’d be at 29. When I was invited for a Seoul Staycation at the Hotel Maui DDM (Dongdaemun) I leaped at the opportunity. Want to get in on the action? There’s a special discount for mentioning The Toronto Seoulcialite. Scroll…
Seoulfood: 12 Korean Dishes for Picky Eaters
Seoulfood: 12 Korean Dishes for Picky Eaters I don’t typically think I’m a particularly picky eater.

While there are some…

My Ibis Styles intro to Chiang Mai
After spending 3 blissful, uneventful days on the beach in Phuket, I was ready for some action in Chiang Mai. Lucky me, H and a few others from Doolay Hostel booked seats on my flight and after a much shorter trip to the airport (still about 40 minutes, but this time from the comfort of our…
Passing through Phuket: Sunday Night Market
When I arrived in Phuket, Thailand, I bought my shuttle bus ticket, packed my duffel bag into the back and waited. We waited an eternity in a full van for the driver. I guess I shouldn’t complain as the shared bus is only 200 Thai Baht ($8 Canadian), but after spending 24 hours in…
