The Squirrel

We all want to travel, especially in May when school’s over and we just want to leave the city and its horrible memories of class.

Travelling is the best. One, it’s super exciting, and two, it makes for a great hobby to brag. This is especially helpful when your actual personality is super boring and dull.

Unfortunately, travelling can also be very expensive at times. Luckily, here are five places you can go to for under $700 from Toronto Pearson Airport this upcoming May.

1. Barcelona, Spain — approximately $600

2. New York City, USA — approximately $200

3. Cancun, Mexico — approximately $450

4. Lisbon, Portugal — approximately $700

5. San Juan, Puerto Rico — approximately $400

I’m not from Toronto. But I love talking like a Toronto mans. I routinely end conversations by saying things such as “safe broski” or “bless up fam.”

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of telling people I grew up in suburban Ottawa when I moved to Toronto for school a couple of months ago, so people were able to see through my otherwise perfect Toronto facade.

But for those of you who just moved here and are looking to have a (potentially harmful) identity crisis, I highly recommend listening to these seven rap songs by lesser known Toronto artists, so you can brush up on your Toronto slang. Dun kno.
