The Hub is an unassuming cafe in an unassuming building in an unassuming neighbourhood in an unassuming town, which is a good thing! I think this is a great example of not judging a book by its cover. Mobs of people take over many (good) cafes in Calgary just to sit and Instagram their fancy […]
16 Things to Eat at the Calgary Stampede 2016
The Calgary Stampede is not only the biggest outdoor show on Earth, but it is also one of the biggest carnival fairs in Canada (if not THE biggest)! The Calgary Stampede is a display of Calgary’s spirit and pride, along with Western hospitality and liveliness. Albertans are hardworking people, but we also like to play […]
The District Starbucks is My New Favourite Starbucks
While Starbucks is a chain cafe, I have very fond memories of it because it was Starbucks that introduced me to different types of coffee, and different ways of preparing coffee. Also, you can’t escape it because Starbucks is everywhere! While coffee could be the same in each Starbucks, the service and atmosphere could widely […]
Travels in Japan and Taiwan
For the months of May and June 2016, I made the decision to travel to Japan, Taiwan and Singapore as a sort-of “grad trip” to celebrate the past 5 years of my undergraduate career.

Philosafy is a great place for your me-time, socializing with […]
The Coup – Calgary’s Premier Vegetarian Restaurant
Alberta is the beef capital of Canada. Alberta is known for its high quality AAA beef. So, it’s a breath of fresh air to find The Coup in Calgary. The Coup is probably THE go-to eatery for vegetarians and vegans alike in Calgary. It could also convert some carnivores to a plant-based diet! My sister […]
Sorso Coffee is a Hipster Cafe in Airdrie
Sorso Coffee is a great cafe to just sit, relax and unwind, located outside of Calgary in Airdrie. I wanted to work on my website, and looked for a cafe that I could drive to near northeast Calgary (since parking in downtown is so expensive). And so, I stumbled upon Sorso Coffee in Airdrie while […]
