Sleeping in unusual accommodations often means higher cost, which I avoided in Canada. Nevertheless, I happened to go to a very unusual place. I always slept in hostels except for the three nights on the train and the one in Toronto. In the final part of the trip I devoted myself to the eastern cities.…
I knew about the fires in Canada, but what worried me in the Rocky Mountains was the bears. Yes because first of all, the Rocky Mountains are also Canadian and not just U.S. as some people believe. During this trip I read Bill Bryson‘s novel, A Walk in the Woods. The U.S. writer recounts his…
I did not expect to find what are called the new junkies even in the cities of Canada. I was very ignorant on the subject, which I invite you to learn more about in this article from the Mario Negri Foundation. I had read about it and imagined that it was unique to large U.S.…
Accomplishing the coast-to-coast of Canada by train was one of the things I was most excited about when I left, and I was not disappointed at all. I chose the cheapest option, so no bunk, but I still slept well because the seats were wide and comfortable. Also, since it was uncrowded, I had a…
The travel in Canada, as I envisioned it, in 17 days, might have seemed crazy, but instead it went well and I saw without even running, everything I set my mind to. For many, the same trip would take months; from several places I had read that one must choose one coast or the other.…

I don’t often talk about food, but I think it would be nice to write an article about eating strange sandwiches. I did this in Florida as I recreated with artificial intelligence in the featured photo. This was the last of the reports I wrote via email I made on my solo trip to the…
My interesting acquaintances while traveling often included other travelers. Sometimes even people living in the place I visited and even immigrants. Meeting expats in Miami was the most interesting thing about my days there. I had also gone there to visit my friend Tania, who introduced me to both her mom and sister and their…
Going to Disney World I wrote this in one of the reports I emailed live during the 2004 solo trip. Many years later, a bitter film m at also entertaining, about the world that is next to that from the parks-a dream called Florida. I had to think hard about what to see at Disney…
I had the opportunity to visit New Orleans the year before the disasters of Hurricane Katrina, one of the most devastating in history. I wrote this story on the occasion of my 2004 solo trip to the US. Of New Orleans, the atmosphere is very nice; if you walk around the non-touristy streets, everyone you…
