Charming Cities and Towns

Halifax, Nova Scotia
Halifax always loomed large in my mind. It was the place that my grandmother emigrated from, and played a central role in her stories, including the Great Explosion of 1917 and the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Through her vivid descriptions, it felt like a place I knew long before I actually visited.

Duck, NC
For years I heard tell of a quaint, quiet town on North Carolina's Outer Banks, unspoiled by development. Long before the eponymous donuts hit the scene, Duck was known as the antithesis of many East Coast beach towns, and their debauchery. A place to enjoy nature rather than shots on Spring Break.

Bayfield, ON
Bayfield, Ontario is an incredibly quaint tiny town, perched on the shores of Lake Huron. While it's primarily a summer spot, for good reason, a winter visit has its own charms.
