Last month, I suggested to Mr. Chuckles that he consider starting a blog entitled 'Travelling the McWorld' in order to document his habit of eating at McDonald's in every international destination we visit. He scoffed at the idea of joining the blogging world, so I've decided to write this post in his stead. In doing [...]
It's happened. This week, Canada closed its borders to most non-citizens and permanent residents, and the province of Ontario has declared a state of emergency, mandating restaurants and bars to cancel dine-in service. We are not going to starve (people, stop hoarding!) but we are probably looking at a couple months of ramping up our [...]

Following up on my last post about everything we ate in Japan, here is a recap of all the food we tried during the first leg of our trip to East Asia, in South Korea. We spent five days in Seoul and Busan, and managed to keep our bellies very full the entire time. Jump [...]
I've been tuning up this blog lately and was reviewing one of my earliest posts, about my trip to Japan. This was a jam-packed, whirlwind trip and in my original post I didn't have a chance to write in detail about one of the best parts of travelling in Japan - the food! Now, at [...]
After returning from my grand journey in Southeast Asia and getting back into the grind of work and daily life this past month, I decided it was time to satisfy my travel craving once more. Mr. Chuckles had only a long weekend to spare for vacation time, so we opted to take a local mini [...]
Those who followed this blog over the past couple weeks will know that my recent trip through northern Thailand and Laos was with a small group tour via Intrepid Travel, specifically the 13 day Thailand and Laos Adventure.
