| | Hello paul de GoNOMAD's Travels last month: Montreal and Mont Tremblant, Quebec  Sure, it's the coldest time of the year, and up on top big Mont Tremblant, we skied at minus 5 degrees farenheit! This part of the world knows how to layer and how to truly enjoy the beauty of winter snow. They also enjoy unique dishes like poutine--french fries, gravy and cheese curds. I love embracing winter with the friendly people in Canada! Where are you going for your winter getaway? Email us and we'll send you a GoNOMAD story about that destination!

People still lived according to a centuries-old code of honor, and even the language itself was markedly different from the rest of the country, retaining a medieval dialect of Georgian. READ MORE |
|  Oz is in Kansas and So is Toto Wamego, Kansas is a small mid-western town by any definition and is located just north of Interstate 70 and east of Manhattan. It's just short of a two hour drive from Kansas City and makes for a nice drive when coupled with a scenic drive of the Flint Hills of Kansas. Most of all, it's a town that has embraced The Wizard of Oz. |

Carnival in Paraguay! Perhaps it was just our ignorance but we thought that Carnival was just a 'Brazilian thing' and had no idea that the whole of the continent revels throughout late January and for the entire month of February so you are pretty much guaranteed a good party wherever you may be over a 6 week period.

|  Stockholm, Sweden: Staying Warm in the Capital of Cool Over 700,000 lights brighten Stockholm's streets, squares and marketplaces of this beautiful, royal capital during Christmas. And though temps hover in the teens, the chill carries a magical intensity. In city parks, torches are lit that cast a glow over passersby.

|  Northern Sumatra, Indonesia: Deep in the Imperiled Jungle
"Welcome to Tangkahan," said Megadepouri, the proprietor of Mega Inn, our home for the next four days. (Like many Indonesians, Megadepouri uses one name.)

|  My Beloved Ireland: A Magical Place Traveling by bus, I visited many towns from Dublin to Sligo, I was in awe of the beauty that the mountains of Ireland projected. Its rolling hills, dotted with sheep, seemed like a patchwork quilt.
