Posted: 10/9/2023 | October 9th, 2023 I write a lot about using credit cards to get points and miles for free travel.

I have now spent two years in the National Capital Region, with one year in Aylmer in Quebec, and one year in Ottawa. While this guide focuses primarily on Ottawa, I’ve included a few spots ‘across the river’ on the Quebec side, as there are some celiac-friendly treats there that aren’t to be missed. As […]

I know, I know. After not posting for a year, I’m on a roll. Initially, I was going to include this post in my 2022 gift guide, but the gift guide got too long and I thought it was best to split them up into two. Given how much I love reading, I wanted to […]

Posted: 9/15/23 | September 15th, 2023 Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world, founded over 5,000 years ago.
