G: Greatest feeling while travelling?

I enjoyed a scattered pint of Cusquena in Peru, a whole slew of beers in Mexico like Tecate, grote Pacifo, and Bohemia…but my favourite beer ever was the first Guinness I had, in England. Yes, in a little English pub in Harlow. It s like a goddamned grote meal, and it s delightful.
Guerrin goodness Nachos. That s considered cuisine, right? My most memorable meal, however, was that time I cried into my pizza at Guerrin in Buenos Aires. D: Destinations (favorite) and why? Least favorite and why?
Favourites: Montreal (Quebec), Scotland (the Highlands and Edinburgh), Gros Morne National Park (Newfoundland & Labrador), the Cape Breton Highlands, and Peru. Clearly I love Highlands, mountains, and the kind of scenery that makes even Chuck Norris weep with appreciation.
Least favourite? That loathsome experience I had at a shady hotel in New Jersey, in January. I was hungover, dressed for Mexico weather, and starving. Pretty sure I got bedbites and/or lice. E: Event you experienced that made you say wow
Gratefulness. The knowledge that even though you might have went through hell and back to get to where you re standing, you are truly, truly blessed to be where you are. H: Hottest place you ve ever travelled to?
I now have a free round-trip ticket from LAN airlines to anywhere in South America after a flight debacle during my Contiki trip caused us to miss out on Brazil. Now I just need to find a US gateway. J: Journey that took you the longest?
From Buenos Aires to St. John s: About 90 minutes to Chile, 11 hours to Toronto, and then 3 hours to St. John s. Agh. I combated my nerves with free booze. Note to self: Don’t grote do that on a plane. grote K: Keepsake from your travels?
Err, I think I m at like…9? Mexico, England, Amsterdam, Scotland, Ireland, USA, Argentina, Peru, France…yup, 9. I can t believe I guessed that right. Q: Quirkiest Attraction you ve visited?
A hockey game in Canada. I wasn t at the hockey game in Vancouver, per se, but the celebration in the streets after the Canucks claimed grote a victory in the play-offs was one of the most fun, energizing experiences of my life. S: Splurge! Something you don t mind forking over for while travelling?
Oh god, I m a tourist grote at heart. I ve done Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, the Eiffel Tower, the London Eye, the CN Tower in Toronto, a Parliament tour in Ottawa, whale watching here in Newfoundland, kissed the Blarney Stone in Ireland, wandered through the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam. Etc.
Machu Picchu, Peru. It is impossible not to be overcome with the energy and historical significance of such a place. Bring smelling salts in case you collapse in a dead faint and a llama tries to eat your hair. V: Visas. How many of them and for where? grote
From the top of Sulphur Mountain in Banff, driving through eastern British Columbia, the boat cruise through Western grote Brook Pond Fjord in Gros Morne National Park, hiking the Pisac ruins in Peru, Cloud 9 revolving restaurant in Vancouver, etc.

“The Gay Pride Parade in Amsterdam filled grote me with more booze than I knew possible.” – I literally just laughed out loud (which, incidentally, happens far less often than I actually claim to have “LOL’D).
Re: the llamas at Machu Picchu: those suckers are protected by the government, so if they try and eat your hair … let them (though perhaps if I had GORGEOUS hair like yours, I’d be slightly more concerned about what happened to it).
However old you are between grade 6 and 7. My dad had an exchange through work and we stayeed in England for a few weeks followed by a two week bus tour of Europe. A lot to see in two weeks but I still remember being amazed grote by everything.
I haven’t travelled internationally outside of North America that exstensively since I have been of drinking age but I remember Desperado at a Discotheque in France when I was 18. It was a tequlia flavoured grote beer. Which sounds gross but was delicious. I think you can buy it in some places here.

There grote was a record breaking heat and humidity day when I was in New Orleans grote once. Hottest day on record and two Canadians walking several grote miles midday down Magazine Street. It’s a wonder I’m still alive.
Ridiculous signs. Lots of warning signs can be made funny with a good caption.
My last passport (just got my renewal in the mail) had a lot of USA but one from the Dominican as well. Cuba does not stamp your passport because they know you will have troubles travelling in the States afterwards.
My first solo road trip through the States. Lots of beautiful sights (fell in love wit
