Toronto, the vibrant metropolis nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario, is a treasure trove of diverse experiences. From soaring skyscrapers to serene natural escapes, here are some destinations we explored during our trip to this bustling Canadian city in autumn of 2023: 1.

I came across some pictures from Norway & started looking into the possible places to cover and things to do. Norway looked promising with not just natural beauty but also many new activities for us to do. The summer and winter activities were quite different. I am drawn more to the cold snowy places after living in western India most of my life. So, after experiencing the mid-night sun in Iceland in summer we got ready to face the polar nights of the Arctic Norway in winter.
