    For adventures in Old Strathcona, at the heart of Edmonton’s cultural, culinary, and nightlife scenes, book a night or three at the Euro-style Varscona Hotel on Whyte. Historic Old Strathcona is home to the iconic Stracona Railway Station (built in 1908), the Princess Theatre (the city’s oldest, built in 1915), and the Strathcona Hotel (built in 1891). The hotel has wonderfully appointed rooms, an excellent breakfast nook, a 24-hour business center, a fitness center, an “oak and leather” lobby with a chill vibe, and an attentive staff always at the ready with a recommendation for a cafe, coffee shop, or curio store. The hotel is within walking distance of Old Strathcona’s 100+ restaurants, cafes, bookshops, and music shops, and makes for a brilliant base for exploring Alberta‘s capital, especially when Edmonton is hosting one of its many festivals — one for nearly every day of the year, in fact, from the Edmonton International Fringe Festival (August 14-24) to Western Canada Fashion Week (September 18-25).

  • Gustavia, St Barthélemy
    This is not your average image of a person chopping up a fish; this is a Gustavia fisherman prepping his fresh catch of the day, hauled in from the sea earlier in the morning. Fishermen in St Barths traditionally haul in their catch in the morning, then prep and sell from small fish shops in Gustavia and Lorient; this practice is carried on today, and offers visitors a chance to grab some sea goodies to cook up on their own.
  • One Casino Drive, Suite 35, Paradise Island, The Bahamas
    All-night adventure for the big kids - I suppose that’s a sound way to sum up Aura, the enormous Jeffrey Beers club that sits at the heart of the Atlantis nightlife experience. Two bars, two VIP sections, a fantastic DJ booth, and posh accommodations are the signature of Aura, a great place to kick back with a cocktail after... kicking back with a cocktail on the beach.
  • 17 Madison Ave, West Yellowstone, MT 59758, USA
    Montanans love their bakeries almost as much as they love their huckleberries. Naturally, combining baked goods with huckleberries is a match made in Big Sky Heaven. For a bite of bliss, try the huckleberry scones at Woodside Bakery. Home made on site, they’re soft and fluffy and full of flavor. The bakery also makes a mean huckleberry cream pie, if you’re lucky enough to snap a piece.

    Stop by The Vig Alehouse Monday - Friday between 4 and 6 for $2 draft pints, grab a seat on the best patio in Billings, spend a few nickels in the casino, pull on your dancing shoes for an evening out with DJ Dubb, or stop by for lunch, and let the kitchen out together something fresh for you.

    For the best views in Gardiner, pop down onto the big patio at the Iron Horse Bar & Grill and gaze out over the river, mountains, and unspoilt terrain of Montana and Yellowstone National Park. Order up a heaping pile of elk nachos, a few craft beers, a hulking bison meatloaf, and perhaps a mulberry margarita or two, and chill on Gardiner’s only real cowboy pation. Keep an eye out for bears on the banks of the river.
  • Oljato-Monument Valley, UT 84536, USA
    Nuzzled up against the Arizona border about 100 miles west of Four Corners are some 30 square miles of the most iconic scenery in the American West. Monument Valley is one of those places that you’ll recognize as soon as you see it, even if you’ve never been there before, as dozens of movies, TV shows, and even video games have used the area as a setting. It’s made up of mesas both small and large reaching up from the valley floor, some rising as high as 1,000 feet into the sky. Part of the Navajo Reservation, the area charges a $20-per-vehicle entrance fee to drive the dirt-road loop. Once in, however, you can also enjoy a number of hikes, or hire a guide for a horseback tour.
  • Hwy 16 E, Tofield, AB T0B 4J0, Canada
    The Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village is a living history museum and one of Canada‘s premier historical sites. The Village, notable for the ethnic Ukrainian and Canadian cast members who live and act in full period costume, is both engaging and inviting, and a revealing look at life in Western Canada between 1899 and 1930. The Village is home to more than 30 fully restored (and in some cases, relocated) buildings that include a blacksmith shop, Eastern Byzantine churches, a grain elevator, one-room schoolhouse, traditional burdei sod house, a general store, and more. The first time a “Ukrainian” blacksmith jaws at you in period lingo is somewhat jarring, but by the time you’ve visited a few sites, you’ll find yourself swept up in the moment – and the history – and quizzing the local folk on their way of life. You may even find yourself working the fields, scythe or hammer in hand. Open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., May Long Weekend (Monday before May 25) to Labour Day.

  • If you’re making your way down to Shell Beach, or just out and about exploring, pop in to La Route des Boucaniers for a sundowner and soak in some of the most beautiful views in St Barths. The French Burger is delicious and one of the best value dishes in Gustavia, though you may want to go for something a little more upmarket if you’re dressed to impressed on a night out - cocktails over the water are certainly a good start.
  • 42 N Last Chance Gulch, Helena, MT 59601, USA
    Step back in time and treat yourself to a thick frosty milkshake at the Parrot Confectionery. Little has changed since its opening in 1922; from the shiny soda fountains to the old-time juke box against the wall, much of the the interior has remained unaltered for nearly a century. The Parrot rewards their customers with delectable treats such as sundaes, malts, homemade sodas, milk shakes, as well as hand dipped chocolates, homemade fudges and caramels.
  • 401 3rd Ave SW, Browning, MT 59417, USA
    Coffee and espresso are a big part of the road trip experience for many people, though it usually comes quickly through a drive-thru window, or across the counter at a big chain coffee shop. The Big Lodge Espresso shop is different. This giant concrete teepee rests on the outskirts of Browning and serves up some of Montana‘s best coffee, 89-cent pastries, and two-dollar muffins. And, once again, it’s a giant concrete teepee! Get your camera ready.

  • 110 Main St, Martinsdale, MT 59053, USA
    The historic Crazy Mountain Inn is a great place to stop while cruising through Montana, especially if you arrive with a growling stomach. The Inn’s legendary chicken-fried steak will set you right (and put you in the mood for a 10-mile trek, or a fireside nap, depending on your constitution). The Sour Cream Lemon Pie is qually famed, though lighter breakfasts, lunches, and dinners do come out of the kitchen from time to time.
