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 #travel

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 https://t.co/tdnmHlKDJq

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

Do you remember the 9th-floor #restaurant at the Eaton's in downtown #Montreal? The Art Deco gem has been reborn and it's as spectacular as you remember! Here's what I wrote about it for Taste & Travel magazine: https://t.co/pnAJtMYfPB #travel

In case you missed my #travel story about Liard River Hot Springs the first time, it’s been reprinted in @CanGeo’s annual Best of Canadian Geographic #magazine that is available on newsstands now.

From trapeze-swinging to rapid-riding, Canada’s second-largest city is full of awesome.

I've only been to 5 out of 10. My excuse is I'm doing my part to fight overtourism.

Do you remember watching The Tiger King during the pandemic? Here's my story about one of the many American animal sanctuaries that is still working on cleaning up his mess. #travel #Arkansas https://t.co/StH7X2ouWr

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 #travel

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

Love this story about a Vancouver man who used nothing but public transit to #travel from his home in Canada to Tijuana, Mexico. The journey took him 9 days! https://t.co/P8WkSutiMD

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 #travel

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 https://t.co/BZuZdAVOJU

Looks like TikTok just discovered that tourists like to visit grocery stores when they #travel to foreign countries. https://t.co/oOZ02ooQsp
