Back when I had first gotten out of college and I didn’t have all those pesky little responsibilities like student loans, car payments, or paying energysavings.com bills, I used to travel all the time and one of my favorite destinations was a little city just north of the border known as Montreal.
Montreal is a veritable cultural hub of a city offering all the modern conveniences many people from the States would come to expect while also providing a cultural experience that is decidedly different. Most people living in this bustling metropolis are bilingual (French and English languages) but you will still find echoes of the past through the customs, food, mannerisms, attitudes and everything else tracing back to French heritage.
Many different cultures call Montreal home including a Muslim community that is still in its infancy and if you are looking for a great place to party then Montreal is the place.

Just because Canada and Montreal happen to be north of the United States doesn’t mean you won’t find an experience far from ordinary.

Make sure you dress appropriately when traveling by horse-drawn carriage, as the unforeseen rain shower may put a damper on your experience if you’re not prepared. Many carriages do have accommodations for an Continue reading →
