Reason #47 why Baltimore is awesome: One World Cafe’s Vegan carrot cake cupcakes
The love of my life brought me back a vegan carrot cake cupcake from One World Cafe, right across from Johns Hopkins and as I was savoring one of the most delicious cupcakes I have ever eaten I realized that the world needs to know about this! You are going to be totally hard pressed [...]
Reason #2 why Baltimore is awesome: The People
I spent most of my years in what is referred to as the Bible Belt of Canada. A small little town chalked full to the brim with old white Christian folk. Sure, a Canadian bible belt is a far far cry from somewhere in Mississippi but the bottom line is that it’s just a whole [...]
Reason #18 why Baltimore is awesome: The History
You’re going to be hard pressed to that many more cities in the USA that have more beautiful history than Baltimore, something that certainly gets overlooked in conversations about the city. The apartment I’m living in now is well over 100 years old, and is nicer and in better shape(at least as far as I [...]
Safe and Happy in Baltimore
Well I am happy to report that after over a week and a half living in Baltimore I’m still smiling from ear to ear and damn stoked to be here. The trip out was insanely painless considering I was traveling 11 hours straight with a cat who had never been in a plane before. Badu [...]
Reasons #32 Why Colombia is Awesome: Patacones!
Ah talk about life changing! It will be my mission to spread the deliciousness of patacones to the rest of the world from this moment onwards. This deceptively simple food is like the duck tape of Colombian cuisine. It’s versatility is not to be underestimated as I have used patacones with just salt, with the [...]
Reason #2 why Colombia is so awesome: Pradomar & Kilimandiaro
I just returned from the most undescribable electronica experience down at my absolute favourite place in all of Colombia, and definitely one of the top places in the world: Kilimandiaro. I’ve been there a few times prior, during the day and then at night time, chilling out… Muy tranquillo, paro este noche estava quel’cosa muy [...]
Reason #119 why Colombia is awesome: The Fruit
Now aside from the fact that at 8am every morning a guy with a cart, sometimes pulled by a donkey comes along screaming Auguacata (wow, it actually took 15 seconds to think of what that word is in english) which of course is Avocado sells avocado’s the size of both of my fists for 25 [...]
Reason #7 why Colombia is awesome: Spanish
A perfect language for a culture that is so vibrant, genuine and expressive as this. The one thing I’ve taken notice of as I travel around is how dull English, or at least North American English really is. Practical yes, easy for people to pick up and learn, yes but romantic? Sensual? Beautiful? Not in [...]
Reason #98 why Colombia is Awesome: Baby Geckos
I went to bed yesterday morning at my usual hour of 7:30am or so and at about 7:45 I was woken up by an all too familiar sensation on my chest. The sensation of little baby gecko’s feet on my body as the baby Gecko which I have seemingly befriended had done one of two [...]
Reason # 145 why Colombia is awesome
It would be easy to say ‘for the coffee’ as the coffee here is in a league of it’s own, truly, and for those of you who know me you know what it means for me to say that as I gave up coffee years ago. The awesome thing for me though is not only [...]
