Bouzyous Greek Taverna

Worth visiting!

A review of this place: Fabulous Food and Belly Dancing on Friday and Saturday nights

Definitely the one of the best Greek Food Restaurants in Vancouver. They make yummy white Sangria and awesome creme carmel!

Yellowknife

Not worth visiting!

A review of this place: If you like lakes, you will like this place

However, it has a very short summer. The insects are huge. There is not too much to do. The housing costs are astronomical because of the diamond mine. It is a quaint little place, looks and feels like a mini city. If you are interested in wildlife and rural activities you will probably love this city.

Whitehorse

Not worth visiting!

A review of this place: Cute but too far from civilization!

Need I say more? I use to have to travel for work there… In June the sun sets at about 11:30 PM! Very weird. Northern Lights are really cool but you don’t have to go that far North to see em!

British Columbia

(in Canada)

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

The best cheap eats is at the Petro Can on the south side on the Trans Canada Highway. I think it is a nice enough town, but it is mostly just a trucking and train hub for the interior of BC. I would not make a special trip there, the chances are if you are travelling around BC you will end up there anyway!

Cafe Du Monde

Worth visiting!

The last time I went to this place

it was in October 1998, way too long ago. I loved this place and still think about New Orleans often (especially since I have a Cafe Du Monde coffee cup on my desk as a pen holder). I remember sitting in the Cafe Du Monde eating a beignet and sipping a cafe au lait while this amazing street musician was playing “when the saints come marching in” on a trumpet. The beignets are pretty tasty but the au lait was kinda yucky. The thing that makes Cafe Du Monde so unique is that 1) It’s been there since like the 1860s 2) It is one of the best places in N.O. to people watch. I would recommend CDM for the experience, not necessarily for the coffee. A great place to sit and write out postcards.

France

(in Europe)
Why I want to go to this place

I started an online business and my major supplier is in France. www.bettys.ca I am interested in gourmet cooking and I think France and Italy are the best places in the world to experience culinary delights.

Ireland

(in Europe)
Why I want to go to this place

Coming from a large Irish family, I have always wanted to go a see my family’s roots. It is so beautiful there and the people are amazing. Just to be able to wander around in centuries old castles and see the rolling hills…I can’t wait!

Nevada

Worth visiting!

Why I love Nevada...

I love the desert. Vegas is super fun, but by far my favorite trip to Nevada was to the Burning Man Festival! If you are an artist free spirit, this is the place to go!
