Jumping up in Toronto Carnival: Travel Memory #7

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

I’m currently in Peru and Bolivia with spotty internet access, but have scheduled posts of some of my favourite travel photos from over the years. Enjoy!

Sometimes the best experiences to be had can take place in your own hometown.  I put on the skimpy outfit, skads of makeup, and sky- high feather headdress to participate in Toronto Carnival… And I had the time of my life.



I didn´t have the time or money to go to Carnival in Brazil, but the sentiment and spirit was just as present in Toronto last summer when me and a bunch of friends danced down the street to reggae, calypso, and soca music for Toronto s festival celebrating Caribbean culture! I definitely crossed this one off the bucket list!

Have you ever been to or participated in a similar activity? Would you?

Psst! Don’t forget to “like” me on Facebook if you haven’t already! Your support is much appreciated!
