ALT HOTEL SASKATOON: A STYLISH SANCTUARY BY THE RIVER

ALT HOTEL SASKATOON: A STYLISH SANCTUARY BY THE RIVER

My visits to Saskatoon seem to be growing and with every passing opportunity to visit, I drive around to see what the city has to offer and take in the ongoing gentrification. If you’ve never been to Saskatoon, it’s a midwest Canadian city with a rich Aboriginal history and early 20th-century architecture that affords a little nostalgia of the "old west". And because of the Saskatchewan River, Saskatoon has its own charm with nine river-crossings which earned the city the nic

FALL FLIGHTS IN THE 2020 LINCOLN AVIATOR

On a recent Press Trip to travel around the Quebec City region and along the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River, I had the opportunity to experience the all-new Lincoln Aviator— a 7-seater, 400hp SUV that easily competes with Volvo’s XC90, Infiniti's QX60, and Land Rover’s Discovery. What you need to know is that starting from $69k, the Aviator really does afford an interior sanctuary that isn't easily replicable. Adorned with premium leather, chrome accents, state-to-th

WHERE TO STAY: ALT HOTEL CALGARY EAST VILLAGE

I've always been a fan of the city of Calgary for a multitude of reasons. As a burgeoning metropolis supporting a diverse population with the perfect proximity to the beautiful mountains of Banff and Lake Louise, Calgary is beginning to encapsulate the big city feels that Toronto and Vancouver have know for some time, and has become more and more entertaining and engaging in its own wake. If you’re looking to explore this amazing city and its surroundings, I recommend staying

WHERE TO STAY: ALT HOTEL HALIFAX AIRPORT

If you’ve never been to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canada’s largest city— GO! The seaport city was founded in 1749 and has so much to explore on foot with hip neighborhoods like the up-and-coming North End and the eclectic Spring Garden Road, where the award-winning Halifax Public Library and the peaceful Public Gardens share space. Other attractions include the Seaport Farmers’ Market, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and the Canadian Immigration Museum at Pier 21.

WHERE TO STAY: ALT+ HOTEL QUARTIER DIX30

We all know the city of Montreal has its own urban charm and trendy flair. As a ville that separates itself from the rest of the mega-cities across Canada, it remains unique in urban sprawl and architecture, with a stylistic touch of French heritage. Coming from someone who has both lived there and explores this destination as a business tourist, it's next to impossible to go wrong when it comes to a hotel or sweet spot to hang your hat for a few days. This time around I opte

2019 LINCOLN NAUTILUS: BUILT FOR ADVENTURES BY THE SEA AND THE SKY

2019 LINCOLN NAUTILUS: BUILT FOR ADVENTURES BY THE SEA AND THE SKY

At last month’s LA Auto Show, Lincoln unveiled the all-new Aviator SAV— another high end, luxury utility vehicle in a family of already glamorous and stylish rides. And when you see it, you certainly see elements of classic Lincoln styling as well as touches from the best Ford vehicles and Range Rover charisma as inspiration. It’s a helluva beautiful truck. But this article isn’t about that Sport Activity Vehicle— this is about the smaller yet perfectly athletic sibling, the

IMAGINE LIVING IN THE FIRST WORLD WITHOUT VACATIONS AND FINE DINING? IT’S ALREADY HAPPENING....

While on a recent road trip through British Columbia, I was astounded to learn some unsettling facts about Canadian Culture and what people are doing nowadays to get debt free based on a recent survey conducted by Capital One and Credit Canada Debt Solutions prepared for Credit Education Week. Here’s what’s going on: 76 percent of Canadians have already missed out on special experiences in order to save money, including vacations (53 percent), expensive dinners (44 percent) a

LINCOLN NAVIGATOR: KING OF THE ROAD

LINCOLN NAVIGATOR: KING OF THE ROAD

Years ago when I watched Mad Men on Sunday nights like everybody else, it was fascinating to see who came on board as ad sponsors for the show, and if they would have some sort of retro styling that mirrored the throwback program about fictional 60s American Advertising world and more. When Lincoln Motors enlisted actor John Slattery aka Roger Sterling of the Emmy Award-winning AMC TV series as their pitchman, they didn’t utilize the suave and comedic actor to get back to the

NARKE ELECTROJET AMPS UP YOUR WATER FUN

NARKE ELECTROJET AMPS UP YOUR WATER FUN

The Narke Electrojet is unlike any other jet ski you’ve ever seen. True, it’s a jet ski and there’s not much that you can do to change up the looks of it, though that didn’t stop Narke. The Electrojet is more angular and flat than other jet skis—think the F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber versus a B-2 Spirit. What really sets the Electrojet apart is that it is fully electric. The Narke Electrojet uses a water-cooled three-phase asynchronous 45kW motor to propel it through the wa

TROPICOLA IS BALI'S FRESHEST BEACH CLUB

Tropicola is Bali’s freshest beach club offering holidaymakers a 1980s-infused playground for long lazy days and fun, balmy nights.

With an amphitheatre that showcases views of Seminyak beach and beyond, Tropicola resembles a Slim Aarons picture brought to life. Tropicola

WRECKLESS KAWASAKI W650

WRECKLESS KAWASAKI W650

Located in the UK, the fuel that drives this custom motorcycle shop is the passion for creating unique and spectacular machines. Although the Wreckless Motorcycles workshop has a special interest in Ducatis from the 60s and 70s, this beauty featured here is a stunning build based on a Kawasaki W650 from 1999. Their idea was to create a bike that looked vintage but at the same time was easy and modern to handle. The end result is a powerful and easy to ride motorcycle with a r

ZAK NOYLE CAMERA BAG

ZAK NOYLE CAMERA BAG

"We designed this to be the best & most versatile camera bag a water photog, or outdoor photog could ever want. We wanted to create fashion yet major function throughout. Everything has a reason on size or the way it closes. The camera compartment on the bottom was selfishly sized to fit my exact cameras as I have the largest height of any canon camera body made so you know every DSLR camera will fit without being too tall. And yes my full size SPL waterhousing with two han
