The theme I eventually decided on for this year’s challenge was actually a theme I contemplated writing about for last year’s challenge. I even went so far as to list out the potential post ideas for each letter of the alphabet. I’m glad that I kept that list though because at least now I won’t be starting from scratch.
From 2001 – 2003, I lived and studied in Toronto, Canada. It was my first time in that country and I spent those two years experiencing many firsts. I’ve written about some of my experiences in Toronto before but only superficially. I’ll be using this challenge to dig deeper into those experiences, which is something I’m quite excited about. So, this year, my theme for the April A to Z Challenge is
As usual, I’m still at a loss as to what to write for those difficult letters X, Z and Q.
Over the years I’ve spent some time in Toronto and always enjoyed being there. For Q there’s always the Queen and anything related.

I haven’t been back in almost 20 years so it’ll be nice to revisit the city if only through my memories of my time there 🙂

Travel related themes are always a hit. For X there is always Xenophobia (or the lack thereof) for a traveller. All the best for your A-Z.

What I remember about Toronto from nearly 20 years ago, would possibly be different from the Toronto you know though. So I look forward to also reading your comments 😀

This will be most interesting.
For the letter Q there’s always Quebec or Quebec City. Some airport have X in front of certain city names and there a few cities that starts with Z. I’m sure you will come up with something fun. ;^)

You’re right! Q could be for Quebec! LOL I do have something in mind other than Quebec for my Q post though, so let’s see! 😀

Well, I love Canada, though I’ve never been there. So maybe I love shows that are set there but I’ll probably drop by to see what you have to say about Canada.
Q, X, Z are difficult letters, even I can’t think of what words to use for those letters. Good luck to you.
Have a lovely day.
