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 EAT: CHARBAR CALGARY

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
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
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
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. It’s owned by the team behind Bondi’s Bucket List, with the expertise of Motel Mexicola’s designer James Brown, to deck out their new Indonesian venue with clean lines, bright colours and cascading plants. With an amphitheatre that showcases views of Seminyak beach and beyond, Tropicola resembles a Slim Aarons picture brought to life. Tropicola
