New York's Central Part is an integral part of this iconic city and is the most visited park in the United States 🇺🇸 As much a part of the city as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, the 843 acre Central Park sits at the leafy heart of New York. The park contains 7 man-made lakes and ponds, and is the home to a large variety of wildlife including chipmunks, squirrels, raccoons, and woodpeckers 🐿 This beautiful lush green paradise is the perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of big city life when you're next in the Big Apple! 🍎

The 7 Mantras of Travel

One of the things we review as a group before setting off on a journey together is the 7 mantras of travel. Some may call these mantras “rules” or “expectations,” but they are offered more as an opportunity for personal reflection. The goal is to have each person enjoy the journey, experience something new and meaningful while finding out something about themselves along the way.

Yet these 7 mantras aren’t just for the days when we set foot on Earth that is new. Each step we take through our daily routines is also an opportunity to see and experience something new. We travel each day to work, to run errands, or have a family meal together.

If we approach each journey in life, whether to a summit or just down the street, these mantras can help every one of us find the perfect moments of life that are just waiting for us right now.

1. Know your objective.
Many people come onto a trip with different objectives. Some may want to reach the top of the summit, meet new friends, or catch up with existing friendships. Whatever your objective may be, set it into action before you begin your journey. Then keep that objective insight along the way. Keep it in your journal, as your mobile screensaver – the options are endless. Unless you know where your target happens to be, it is difficult to know where you should aim.

2. Be a positive and encouraging force.
We travel together as a group. This means there will be days when not everyone will get along. There will be days when the journey is difficult. Yet being in a group means being able to bear one another’s burdens. If one person is having a bad day, then together we can rally to make that day better. Work to be a blessing. Think of ways to make each journey a pleasant one and this will be returned onto you.

3. Step outside of your comfort zone.
In the stories of Exodus, the Israelites wandered for 40 years in the wilderness before reaching the Promised Land for one basic reason: a lack of gratefulness. They were unwilling to step outside of their comfort zone to find something better. Many called for a return to Egypt, even though that meant a return to slavery. When we travel, we get to immerse ourselves into new experiences, ideas, and cultures. Not everything may be appealing, but these differences are what make us human. Life is a learning journey and traveling is its classroom – embrace those differences.

4. Leave no trace behind.
There must be respect for the rules of each journey. Local guides will have certain expectations that must be followed. This may even include how cultural interactions occur. It is also important to be an eco-friendly trekker, so leave no trace of your presence behind. The beauty of nature deserves to be experienced by all. We each have a responsibility to take care of each step we take by having and maintain good trekking etiquettes.

5. Offer respect.
Traveling with a group means having the opportunity to make new friends. This doesn’t mean you need to be the “life of the party” during the journey, but it does mean that there will be few moments of loneliness and silence. Since you have signed up for a group trip, offer respect to all and it will be returned to you.

6. Lose yourself.
When you are on the journey, it is too late to worry about whether you’ve left the kettle boiling at home. Let those worries go. Anxiety about things at home will only lessen the impact of the journey that is ahead of you. Give yourself permission to let everything go for a few days and give your senses a chance to explore where you are. We are so very connected these days thanks to technology – sometimes losing yourself is the reset button we need to push. Find your story.

7. Enjoy the total traveling experience – .
There will be singing, so sing. There will be dancing, so dance. There will be laughing, so laugh. The best memories that are created from traveling come from these perfect moments in time. Photography has a time and place, as do our moments of sharing these captured images, but so do the memories we make without a camera lens to capture the moment. Be active and enjoy the because these are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

Life is a journey that offers many twists and turns. The paths we take may be easy or may be difficult, but they are our paths. These 7 mantras can help each of us claim every footstep we take, enjoy each memory we make, through every mountain or valley we experience.

Please feel free to keep these mantras as a personal reference for your journeys in life so that together we can laugh, love, and learn.

What city in the world could be more perfect than New York?

28/02/2020

The majesty of Niagara Falls is something that’s difficult to describe in words. The three falls — Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls — overlap the border between Canada and the United States. On one side of the falls is Niagara Falls, Ontario, and on the other is Niagara Falls, N.Y. The two cities with the same name overlook one of the world’s most famous attractions.

When you visit the falls, you’ll hear all kinds of fun facts about them and the cities that are fortunate to call them their own. These crazy facts are ones the tour guides probably won’t tell you about this must-see Canadian and American attraction.

Join us in our Chicago, Toronto, Niagra falls trip and you'll be straight into the heart of nature! It's the kind of stuff dreams are made of

Why do people touch the foot of John Harvard?

The John Harvard statue is probably the most touched object in the University. Its left foot is subjected to almost incessant rubbing by tourists who believe that the act brings good luck; the standard pose, for photos, is to place a hand on John Harvard's shoe, which has become shiny from the human contact.

Visiting the United States

If you are going to visit the United States of America during your study in Canada, you may require a U.S. Visitor Visa depending on your country of citizenship. However, citizens of certain countries may be able to travel to the USA without a visa if under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).

If you would like to apply for a visitor visa to the US in Canada, please follow these steps:

1) Complete a DS-160 application form online. Please be sure to print out your confirmation page with a barcode before exiting.

2) Create your appointment profile; select your Canada Post pickup location; pay your non-refundable visa application fee and schedule your visa interview appointment. Please note if you are renewing your visa which expired less than 12 months ago, and if found eligible for an interview waiver, you will be provided instructions on how to mail your passport and required documents to the Consulate.

3) On the day of your interview you need to bring the following required documents to the Consulate:

Your visa appointment confirmation page
Your valid passport
Your DS-160 confirmation page
Passport size and quality photo (2"x2")
Proof of your current immigration status in Canada (eg., study/work permit)
Any document listed on your appointment confirmation page that is pertinent to the type of visa for which you are applying.

4) If your application is successful you will receive your passport in the mail within 3 – 5 business days after your interview.

We also suggest our students bring the following additional documents to your interview:

► Enrollment letter and Transcript from the Registrar's Office
► Tuition payment confirmation from the Cashier's Office
Bank summary
► CV/resume, a description of your current and past research, and a list of your scientific publications (for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math graduate students only)
► If you are currently enrolled in a course based master program, you can bring a description of your program (or a letter from the Registrar's Office) to prove that your program doesn't require research.
► If you were previously in the United States, any documents attesting to your status.
► Criminal/court records pertaining to any arrest or conviction, even if later pardoned.
► Translation into English of any non-English document.
► Supporting documents related to your travel: event information, invitation letter, etc.
