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.

ALT On a kayak tour to see manatees in Crystal River, Florida.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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!
