  • Exploring Manitoulin Island: A 48 Hour Travel Guide (COVID Staycation)

    September 2, 2020

    Due to the many challenges and restrictions of 2020, we’ve had to get a bit creative with our vacation time and travel plans. With this, Jordan and I recently took the opportunity to explore a destination closer to home that we may not have necessarily explored otherwise — Manitoulin Island.

    March 12, 2020

    My partner and I recently had the chance to spend 5 relaxing and fun-filled days in Isla Mujeres, a Mexican island in the Caribbean Sea. The easiest way to get to the island is a 20 minute ferry via Cancun. Although it is a popular day trip, the island makes for a relaxing place to stay, with many foreigners owning vacation homes. It has grown in popularity over the years and it’s easy to see why. In this blog post I’m going to share with you seven fun things to do in Isla Mujeres.

    February 11, 2020

    My partner and I recently had the opportunity to check off a few big bucket list items with our first ever trip to the Middle East. Upon our return, I received a lot of questions with regard to what we did, how we travelled between the two countries, if we felt safe, and more. This blog post will seek to answer these particular questions, providing insight on how we navigated this adventure and how you can prepare for your own.

    November 12, 2019

    Berlin has to be one of the most unique and incredible cities I’ve ever been to. With a turbulent history, the culture that exists in Berlin today is one that has risen from conflict, pain, and separation. The culture that exists today is one of love, unity, openness, compassion, and freedom. And while this is evident through the friendly people you encounter and the art you observe as you wander, one can’t help but notice that the scars of Germany’s past, course through the veins of the city. During my time in Berlin, I was moved deeply by the city and its people. I was touched by the way the…

  • Top 10 Instagram Spots in Québec City

    August 30, 2019

    Québec City has to be one of the prettiest (if not the prettiest) cities in all of Canada. Located on the Saint Lawrence River, the capital city of the province of Québec is one of the oldest European cities in North America. With cobblestone streets intricately weaving throughout the historic quarter of Old Québec, beautifully lining colourful restaurants and shops filled with Canadian artwork and traditional goods, it’s no wonder the place is a magnet for photographers and visitors alike.

  • Aria Hotel Budapest: A Hungarian High Note

    June 1, 2019

    Budapest has to be one of my favourite cities I’ve been to – Beautiful, friendly, clean, affordable… it had everything I could ask for. I loved the way Buda’s hills lit up at night; the way cobblestone streets wound through intricate neighbourhoods scattered around the iconic Danube River; the way people gathered at thermal spas to bask in the sunshine and each other’s company; and how every twist and turn through the city centre led to just one more beautiful adventure. Sounds dreamy, right? I mean, the city has its own “Castle District” for goodness’ sake! But this particular post is not about the city itself – it’s about the…

  • Hamburg Port Anniversary: A Birthday Bash Unlike any Other

    May 22, 2019

    This past month, I had the pleasure and honour of attending the Hamburg Port Anniversary in Hamburg, Germany. The weird thing was, up until I went, I had actually never heard of it… As the second biggest city in Germany, one would think that a city like Hamburg would get a lot more international attention — especially when it comes to travel and tourism. So, let me just start off by saying, point blank, Hamburg totally doesn’t get enough credit. Diverse, open-minded, and friendly, the city really knows how to make visitors feel welcome.

    Boston – a city best known for sports, clam chowder, prestigious universities, that thing where people run crazy long distances, and having food items named after it… While my time in this flourishing destination was limited, the friendly people and good vibes left me eager to plan a return visit ASAP!

  • Hiking Camelback Mountain, Arizona

    March 6, 2019

    “Climb mountains not so the world can see you, but so you can see the world.” – David McCullough Jr.   Whenever I travel anywhere, I always try to find the best views of the city/landscape. Sometimes this includes enjoying rooftop bars on hotels, or taking an elevator to the top of a famous skyscraper, but my favourite views are usually the ones I hike to. I love pushing my body to new limits, and embracing a well-deserved view where I am surrounded by one of the most beautiful things in this world — nature. There is just something so rewarding and so overwhelmingly peaceful about the entire experience. While…
