Keltic Lodge- Ingonish, NS
Keltic Lodge is a case study in historic property mismanagement. It's an absolutely stunning waterfront property that closed due to deferred maintenance, lack of planning and greed. While the location is still absolutely breathtaking, the closure of the iconic main lodge is nothing short of a tragedy.

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.

Pine Cay Resort- Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos

Scarborough Bluffs, Scarborough, ON
Just miles outside of Toronto stands a geologic wonder that brings to mind The White Cliffs of Dover. Alright, maybe not that impressive, but every bit as interesting.
