Bangkok 101
Two years ago, I decided that winter in Toronto was too damned cold for too damned long, and I scratched an itch that I had long had and spent two months traveling around Southeast Asia. Of all the places I visited in those two months—and there were a lot of them—Bangkok was my favourite (I'm a city mouse, not a beach bunny, what can I say). And so I have come back every year since, and will continue to do so. I can't count how many times I did something that made me feel (and probably look) a complete and utter fool when I first got here. So I am sharing with you here a few tips, in no particular order, for navigating this huge, smelly, dirty, cool, amazing city. To date, I have never seen any of these covered in any guide book.

Camping Etiquette
Every year literally dozens of people attempt the sometimes difficult, though always entertaining activity, known as camping. This can come in a variety of forms, all the way from hauling a large eighteen-wheeler mansion equipped with showers, two kitchens, and seven satellite dishes, down to simply hiking two hundred and thirty five kilometers into the dense forest with nothing but a ball of twine, some Silly Putty, and a pair of cargo shorts.

Traveling in Your City
When I was planning long weekend trips or spring break vacations during school my constant travel destination was New York City. This Big Apple is home to thousands upon thousands of entertaining activities that could captivate even the most traditional stay-at-home introvert; naturally, I was drawn to its stimulating adventures. Using any excuse that I could to fly away to its bright lights, I had then decided after the twelfth trip that my home was left in the streets of this city. I picked up and moved to the east side of Manhattan after graduation and have been here ever since exploring my home. Exploring the place that you live in can be tricky at times. Your work week can consist of a nine to five job, where at the end of the day you would like to relax and unwind, and your weekends tend to be spent recovering from the night before. After this pattern becomes more present you wonder when you stopped exploring? This is a pattern that I have found in my time being in the city and here are a few practices that even I need to remember when moving to your dream vacation spot.
