The 10 Most Instagrammable Spots in Milan
“We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.” — Katie Thurmes But, let’s be honest, sometimes we also take them for the ‘gram… no shame. Whatever your intentions are for your photographs, capturing special moments and memories can be a very powerful thing. And, thanks to the internet, it is now easier than ever to share these moments and memories with whomever we want. It’s also become a lot easier to share knowledge regarding where to create the most memorable images. Which leads me to the purpose of this post!

Lapland, Finland: An arctic adventure through Santa’s hood
It’s officially December, and as we head into the dark, cold winter months, many people will begin planning (or will have already planned) their tropical destination getaway. There’s just something about the cold that makes people run for sunny beaches. And, don’t get me wrong, while I would mostly agree and most often be all aboard the tropical train… there’s something to be said about a romantic winter cabin getaway… in the Arctic.

7 Ways to Best Experience Autumn in Ontario
Let’s just state the obvious — Autumn in Ontario is BEAUTIFUL. Although we end up saying “farewell” to the hot, sunny beach days of Summer, the colourful changes in the leaves, sweet smells of apple and cinnamon, and delicious tastes of pumpkin-everything make the adjustment to cooler temps a little more bearable (in my humble opinion, anyway). You may agree with this, or totally disagree… but despite how you feel about the change of seasons, it’s always important to make the best of it! And so, in order to help you make the most of this rather short season, I decided to compile a small list of the 7 ways to…

A Cuban Escape With Memories Jibacoa
“All-inclusive” – kind of has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Accommodation, food, drinks, entertainment… not having to worry about anything but remembering to stay hydrated and reapply your sunscreen… Well, despite having done a fair amount of travel in my short 27 years, I had never stayed at an all-inclusive resort before – until now, that is of course. Some of you reading this may very well be seasoned resort-vacationers… others may be looking for the right place to stay for their first experience, and others might just be looking to switch things up. Any which way you are coming into this, my goal for this blog post…

The Best of Britain
Quite often, it appears that ‘Great Britain’ can be summed up in people’s minds as a trip to London. But, there are just so many amazing places within the borders of this island, which may I remind you, consists of THREE countries – England, Wales, and Scotland. Having lived there, during two separate occasions, as a foreigner, I took every opportunity I could to explore the areas around me. Even after a combined 1.5 years, I still did not manage to see every place on my list! However, I did see quite a lot… Based on these experiences, I’m going to share with you my favourite destinations in Great Britain.…

48 Hours in Cardiff
Despite living in the UK for the better part of 1.5 years, I never made it to Wales. It was on my list and I had always meant to go, it just never happened. However, earlier this year, my partner’s sister got married in Ireland and we had the chance to return across the pond once more. This was our chance! So, we flew into London a few days early, rented a vehicle and headed southwest to spend our weekend with the Welsh…

10 Photos to Inspire You to Visit Dutch Cities Outside Amsterdam
Let me just start this post off with saying, if you have not ever visited Amsterdam, you totally should! To this day, it is definitely one of my favourite cities I’ve been to. That being said, what’s a shame is that it seems most people travel to the Netherlands, visit the iconic city of canals, coffeeshops, pancakes and tulips, and call it a successful visit. There are so many other beautiful places to visit around this incredible country, and I’m hoping to show you a few photos that will inspire you to stick around the Netherlands a wee bit longer, to witness them yourself!
