Is it better for #manatees if we stop swimming with them? Is watching them from a boat better? I don't know the answer, but I chose to see them from a kayak when I visited Crystal River, Florida last month. https://t.co/ax4G3EfJZr

If you came to #Montreal to experience winter, but find it a bit too gruelling, head to the Underground City where it's a lot warmer. I took @tourbirder's #audiotour and found it a fun way to explore this under-appreciated part of the city. #Travel

A great way to explore #Taipei is on two wheels. Here's an older #travel story of mine that was no longer available online by the publication that originally published it, but I have revived it and revised it on my website. https://t.co/ryOy9UoNdB

Mexico and Manitoba both begin with the letter M, but another M word they have in common is Mennonites. During a recent trip to Mexico's largest state, Chihuahua, I visited the town of Cuauhtémoc...

For many people, Chihuahua is synonymous with the tiny dogs of the same name, but it's also the name of the largest of Mexico's 31 states, a massive region that borders the United States that offers...

Trivial Pursuit sparked a Canadian #boardgames boom in the 1980s. Some of them were hits, but most are long forgotten. I listed some of the more obscure examples in this story for Canadian Geographic. https://t.co/4Hv1J1o6gN

Canada became a hotbed of gaming in the 1980s, for better or for worse

Maybe #overtourism isn't just the fault of tourists. Some experts in this story argue that some of it lies on local leaders who promote tourism, but don't properly plan on how to handle the crowds when they arrive. https://t.co/4ZTA1X4aIv

Still my favourite movie of all time. Squirrelled away in my closet somewhere is the original program that they gave to the audience because the film had no credits on screen.
APOCALYPSE NOW was released in the US 45 years ago today. Francis Ford Coppola’s magnum opus is considered by many to be the definitive Vietnam War film. The production of the film is one of the most unbelievable stories in Hollywood history. 1/55

William Hui made the journey along the US Pacific coast using only public buses and trains.

That viral video of an argument over an airline blanket proved that tempers can get heated over the temperature in airplanes which has some renewing calls for formalizing rules about comfort standards aboard commercial aircraft. https://t.co/Qd66xXL36K

It would take me a while to calculate how many UNESCO sites I've visited, but it would take a lifetime to see them all. I guess that's the point.

During the pandemic, I played European Truck Simulator as a way to #travel virtually. For some gamers, admiring the scenery is more fun than completing the missions as this story about #videogame #tourism explains. https://t.co/ZZeN93qwP7

Has it really been 55 years since the first landing on the moon? If you weren't old enough to watch it black and white on TV back in 1969, there are plenty of #museums in the U.S. where you can learn about this historic adventure. #Travel
