Fuel Duel
It was really amazing how the cost of fuel can affect everything from basic commodities to people’s patience and tolerance. We travelled 600+ miles going to Nova Scotia for 10 (or more) hours because when we computed the costs between travelling by land and by sea, it turned out that we will save more if […]
One Aspect of Travel
One of the things I hate about traveling is the packing aspect. I hate packing. I get stressed out when I am packing. I don’t have the talent in packing.

We started that day a little […]
