Travel tips

Every year, Canadians take a trip across the border to the United States. Although there are various reasons Canadians like to travel south, one of them is familiarity. Of all the countries in the world, the US is one that is possibly the most similar to Canada. We share the same language and have similar geography and culture. There are many comparison points – that is, until you start comparing the laws.

Most vacations involve spending a number of days, or a week or more, in a single location. However, sometimes people have a limited amount of time to spend in a single city. This can be the result of a long layover, while travelling for business, on a road trip or just wanting to squeeze as many cities as possible into a vacation.

Vacations should be relaxing. They are one of the best ways to decompress and get away from a hectic and busy life. However, many of us have a difficult time disconnecting from work and the other things in our lives that we really should leave behind when we leave for vacation.

Health retreat getaways are growing in popularity as a vacation option. Travellers increasingly want to make health and wellness part of their trip. They not only want to visit a new destination and experience a new culture, they also want to relax, decompress, calm the mind and treat the body.

There is perhaps nothing worse than to have stomach issues when you’re travelling. It can put a real damper on your experience, cause you to miss out on all the fun and cause you to constantly be on guard. It can be downright miserable.

Jet lag can be a killer. It’s one of the most unpleasant parts about travelling. Whether you are travelling for business, are on your way to your favourite vacation spot or are returning home after a long trip, jet lag can have an impact on even the most seasoned travellers.
