  • 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.

    Let’s just state the obvious: Technology has made our lives a hella lot easier in a hella lotta ways. A prime example of this is travel. Providing means of communication, navigation, and documentation (to name a few), it’s pretty easy to see the benefits. With that being said, there are A LOT of apps out there… like, a lot. And while some of these stand out above the rest (here’s lookin’ at you, Insta), there are definitely some hidden gems out there that don’t get the recognition they deserve.

    January 15, 2019

    “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!

  • The 8 Best Ways to Experience Christmas in London

    December 17, 2018

    During my years of living abroad, I had the pleasure of spending the Christmas season in London twice. Dressed to the nines, the city is a bustling, joyous place to be during the holiday season, and it really comes to no surprise to me, at all, that people want to experience it for themselves. During my two seasons there, I had visits from two different friends, my brother, and was living with my partner for one of them. I loved showing them around, sharing Christmas market treats, keeping warm with mulled wine, and creating some amazing memories. That being said, if you don’t happen to live in/around London, or know…

  • 7 Ways to Best Experience Autumn in Ontario

    October 31, 2018

    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…

  • The Best of Britain

    October 5, 2018

    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.…

  • Top 10 Travel Essentials

    September 25, 2018

    Travel essentials… we all have them. For some, it’s the items you simply cannot live without. For others, the items are about practicality, and are immaculately planned out. And, for others, they’re just a jumble of last-minute things you usually remember to cram into your carry-on the night before your flight. We all know the mandatory travel essentials like your I.D. card or your passport. In this category, I would also lump camera equipment… these items are generally a given, and not what this post is about.

  • 10 Photos to Inspire You to Visit Dutch Cities Outside Amsterdam

    September 10, 2018

    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!
