Call me crazy, but I’m not one for standard casino tourism. That is to say the appeal of just going to a casino resort feels a little bit old fashioned. Sure, there’s usually more than just a gaming selection to enjoy – the entertainment and restaurants can be wonderful – but vacationing simply to enjoy […]
Best Tourist Attractions in Seattle The birth place of grunge music also happens to be one of the most beautiful cities in America. It’s full of good food, good wine, beautiful scenery and views, and fun tourist attractions. It’s also reasonably priced, and easy to get around – making it the perfect city for tourists. […]
Steam Whistle Toronto Steam Whistle Brewing is what I refer to as Toronto’s Willy Wonka’s Factory for adults. The brewery is set just up from the harbourfront at the historic Roundhouse in Toronto. It’s a preserved locomotive roundhouse, which is also home to Toronto’s Train Museum. The sun glints off the trains out the front […]
CN Tower Toronto Canada Did any of you watch Degrassi Junior High as a child or teenager? This was one of our favourite TV shows growing up in Australia in the 80s. A generation of parents in the 80s seemed relaxed enough to let their children watch a show that dealt with fairly adult themes, […]

How can you watch animals in captivity when you’re a vegan/vegetarian/animal-lover? This is a question people like to interrogate me with, on occasion. My response is always the same: modern zoos and aquariums have an important role in wildlife conservation and research. Australia’s Western Plains Zoo out at Dubbo is a good example of this. But […]
What Identifies a City? The Nomads visited New York in 2012. It was a seriously fun trip, but I was somewhat bemused by the city itself. This was the city everyone raved up? Sure, there’s lots of stuff do. And there’s the culture. Everyone will remind you of “the culture”. But…it’s just a city. When […]
There are two types of ghost towns in America. The first are the modern ghost towns – the depressing and tragic reality of the American economy. On a drive through the Mid-West you’ll pass many abandoned and derelict small towns. It’s scary how new and contemporary some of the buildings look in these modern ghost […]
