East Africa's Most Compelling City Stay
Rwanda‘s capital is entering a new chapter. Alongside investment in infrastructure and major international events, a wave of locally driven hotels, galleries, restaurants and creative businesses is reshaping Kigali into a destination worth visiting in its own right.
A case in point is The Pinnacle Kigali originally conceived as a private residence and recently transformed into the five-star, intimate 18-guest property in the leafy Rebero neighbourhood.

What to Do in Kigali, Rwanda | Africa’s Coolest Capital
Like so many other tourists, I came to East Africa, Rwanda, in particular, to get close to one of the most magnificent creatures on earth. Gorilla trekking has been a conservation success story in this part of the world, and local efforts alongside responsible tourism have helped curb the destruction of this species. Coming to this region hoping for a sighting usually calls for flying into the capital city of Kigali before jetting or driving off to lodges and camps.

Having lived in Ottawa for more than 20 years, I’ve crossed the river into Québec’s Outaouais region more times than I can count.

Beyond The Itinerary: Finding Your Family’s Natural Rhythm In Costa Rica - Today's Parent
Family vacations are supposed to be a break, but for many parents, they can end up feeling oddly similar to everyday life: overscheduled, overstimulating and somehow still stressful. Between coordinating activities, managing screen time and trying to make every moment count, even downtime can feel like just another thing to organize.
What Makes an Adventure Advanced? It’s Probably Not What You Think
We tend to define adventure by numbers: elevation gained, kilometres covered, technical grades achieved, fastest known time (FKT). But those markers miss something essential. Rating an adventure as beginner, moderate or “advanced” isn’t something that can be fixed. It shifts depending on where you are in life, what your body is capable of on that day and how far you’re willing, or able, to stretch beyond that.
This is why explore magazine rarely rates hikes by difficulty—it’s just too personal, individual and subjective.
So how can we define an advanced adventure in Canada?
According to explore magazine, at its core, an advanced adventure asks more of you than you expected to give.

Family-friendly caving in Canada: Five underground adventures for kids
The first time I went caving (or spelunking, if you want to sound official), I was 12 years old, on a school activity holiday in Wales. My classmates and I had already been abseiling, surfing, kayaking — even tried out archery and orienteering around some of the region’s most picturesque coastlines. But when we donned our helmets and jumpsuits and headed underground, I felt the first pangs of nervousness.
Enjoy a high-energy summer in Thunder Bay and North Bay - Toronto Life
Back to the hubTell someone you’re heading “to the Bay” this summer and you’ll likely be met with a confused pause. For many GTA residents, North Bay and Thunder Bay exist in a sort of geographical blur—two major northern hubs that share the same generic geographic term but sit a full 1,000 kilometres apart. It’s a common mix-up, but although the both edge a bay, they deliver distinctly different versions of a dynamic Ontario getaway.North Bay is celebrated as the “Gateway to the North”—an effor...

Skip the crowds in Banff and tour this underrated mountainous region instead
On a quiet fall morning in Kananaskis, Alberta, just thirty minutes from Banff, an inviting bench beneath trembling aspens offers the perfect place to witness the majestic peaks of Mount Kidd, The Wedge, Fisher Peak, and Mount McDougall. The Village Rim Trail, a loop of less than a mile, circles Kananaskis Village, a purpose-built resort community complete with a hotel, Nordic spa, restaurants, and stores, providing access to the Canadian Rockies and, in the winter, to Kananaskis Cross Country Ski Trails.

8 Smart Budgeting Tips for Your Next Solo Trip
Solo travel is like stepping onto an open road, where you—and only you—chart the route ahead. You choose the detours, linger where your heart feels at home and craft an adventure entirely your own. But without travel companions to split the bill, that freedom comes with unique financial challenges. Every meal, hotel stay and taxi ride falls on your tab, making careful budgeting all the more essential.

Family-Friendly Luxury Rail: Two Rocky Mountaineer Routes for Multi-Generational Travel
Luxury rail travel isn’t usually the first thing families explore when planning a vacation. Road trips, theme parks, or city breaks tend to come up first.

From Denver to Moab
Just outside Denver, as the late-morning light bounces off ancient cliffs and the rails hum softly beneath my feet, I lose my chain of thought, gazing out at a horizon painted in sandstone and sky.

It's a wonder that unfolds slowly, intimately, outside a glass dome of panoramic windows.
