Our traumatic departure from Canada
We thought that when we checked into a motel near Montreal that would be the end of our drive across Canada. The plan had been to get to Montreal, have a day to explore the city and then get on board the RMS Carmania along with our worldly goods and cross the Atlantic to our new life in England. The distance we had driven was about 2,400 miles.

Destination Oregon
Located in the northwest corner of the country, Oregon is one of the states of the Pacific Northwest. Washington borders Oregon on the north, California and Nevada on the south, and Idaho on the east. To the west is the powerful and prepossessing Pacific Ocean. A variety of landscapes can be found within the borders of Oregon, including coastlines, beaches, deserts, rainforests, mountains, valleys, rivers, and lakes. Families and individuals alike can picnic, camp, or just hang out for the day in the many federal, state, county, and city parks scattered throughout the state. Join me on the must-see journey through Oregon. Within the eight distinct regions of Oregon, I'll highlight the hot spots everyone is talking about, as well as some of the lesser-known must-sees that the locals were willing to share.

Racism In Africa Towards Non-Blacks Ghana Quietly Leads In Xenophobia & Discrimination
Ghana for many seems to be on the travelers bucket list, the country has some beautiful coastline and beaches. For many staying within the country for longer notice the racism and xenophobia, especially in housing and employment. Most is towards other Black Africans. Yet many Asian and Lebanese are victims and this leads them to stay away from Ghanians.

The Joy of Low Expectations
My expectations for the small town of Comitan were of such little substance that they barely ceased to exist. The only reason we were staying there was to be closer to El Chiflon Waterwalls and Montebello Lakes. Most people do a tour from the popular highland town of San Cristobal, but, we wanted to avoid the exceptionally long day trip. I had read that you spend 80% of your time just driving there and back, with little time to enjoy the falls and lakes themselves. We wanted full days and the freedom to explore. We thought that staying in a nothing town would be the trade-off that we had to make to do that.

Ghana Stop Persuading Black Americans to Immigrate: Fix Your Colorism, Xenophobia, Racism & Scamming
You provide very little freedom and almost no justice in Ghana when you look a certain way. Most countries have set in place laws and rules for blatant, outright racism especially towards those who immigrate. While Ghana doesn't provide any protections, they're pretending to be the moral country for Black Americans to find a sanctuary from American racism.

Field Trip to the Aquarium
I woke up early, excited for the field trip. I hadn’t been back to Ohio in almost a decade - I had no real reason to, I suppose. But this field trip - this entire trip - is the sole reason I came back. It’s urgent, I was told. She would be gone soon. As I approached the grounds, I gasped at what I saw, and the memories came flooding back. There were no signs of life beyond a couple of bulldozers in the distance that looked as if they hadn’t been there long - my sign that I got here just in time. It would be the last time I would stand on these grounds, feeling the energy and history racing through my body.

How Spain changed my life
As a child, I had always hoped that one day I would get to travel the world. I have seen about half of the states in the US, and my wanderlust often drives me nuts. I'm talking about the feeling we get we see a plane soaring across the sky and taking its passangers to some unknown destination. That feeling of intense longing.

St. Augustine Sojourn
Casa de Suenos The first impression of this cozy bed and breakfast is one of a sheltered haven from the hustle and bustle of larger towns, lodgings, and the interstate left far behind. From wherever you may have come, the pastel yellow stucco welcomes you in the warmth that is echoed within by its soft colonial decor.
