Welcome to Gypsy Wednesday!  Every Wednesday, I strive to highlight all the juicy morsels related to travel and beyond. Sometimes a regular person is seized by an idea, a strong desire to accept a challenge.  Could have been a tragedy or special dream that won’t stop whispering to you, even in sleep. I use to [...]

Where Am I? Toronto!

by Nomadic Chick on July 27, 2010

toronto

What a month! After laying low in Calgary, Toronto was strictly about urban vibe. A 20 hour endurance test in bus travel deposited me at the Yorkdale Mall which runs along the northwest subway line.  What I had landed in was a steam bath. Precious minutes during bus stops outside small town Ontario hinted at [...]

Gypsy Wednesday – Why Travel and Being a Girl Rocks

Welcome to Gypsy Wednesday!  Every Wednesday, I strive to highlight all the juicy morsels related to travel and beyond. Travel and womanhood use to be a difficult task.  Not only were women having babies during the pioneering days, but carrying rucksacks and cooking for the entire family in the sparse outdoors was commonplace.  By the [...]

“Oh, we won’t even see it.” “Maxviille?” “No, a small town of probably 1,500.  We just pass by.” I sat mute, wondering what I had gotten myself into.  Trish, a volunteer with Child Haven offered to pick me up and deposit me at the front door. Giving time overseas is one of my goals, but [...]

Worst Washroom of the Week

July 15, 2010

One of the goals in my travels is to find humor.  Since I’m a woman, slave to a pea-sized bladder and forced to use a squatting device of some kind, welcome to a regular feature: shitty washroom of the week.  Pun intended. This week? Look ma, no door!!! Pretty breezy washroom experience.

Welcome to Gypsy Wednesday!  Every Wednesday, I strive to highlight all the juicy morsels related to travel and beyond. A gracious reader recently donated to this website, reasoning that I am inspiring and deserve the money.  I certainly won’t refuse a week’s supply of lattes.  This got me thinking, who inspires you?

5 Things I Want to Accomplish in Toronto

July 12, 2010

After 20 hours, 1 bus breakdown, and a mall drop off yours truly made it to Toronto.  First impression is yup, I’ve landed in a bustling city.  I greeted my friend, Kori who promptly reminded me that I’ve arrived just as the hottest summer is about to sizzle.  Good grief.  Decent training for India?  Bloody [...]

Moosejaw to Toronto, The Journey….

July 9, 2010

Was long.  After hopping a midnight bus to Moosejaw, the West Coast version of the prairies melted away.  I could hardly sleep, so sought landscape as distraction, but that was futile. Although I love open skies, the prairies of Saskatchewan always leave me depressed.  It’s the province that ingenuity and art forgot.  I couldn’t believe [...]
