La Cascata Lake Como: A charming alternative
On my recent trip to Italy, I had the pleasure of staying at a quaint guest house in Nesso, Lake Como — just a 20-minute drive from the ever-popular village of Bellagio. While many tourists leap at the opportunity to spend their time in the beautiful streets that wind through areas of Lake Como like Varenna, Bellagio, and the city of Como itself, it seems that many people miss some of the other hidden gems that line the shores of the Lake.

Vilnius, “The G-Spot of Europe”(?)
A Lithuanian tourism poster was recently released online which stated, “VILNIUS, THE G-SPOT OF EUROPE: Nobody knows where it is, but when you find it it’s amazing”. Now, I’m not going to discuss the advert in itself, but rather use it as a segue to why I am writing this blog post.

Canadian Winter Getaways: Ottawa Edition
I’m just going to say it out right: WINTERS IN CANADA CAN BE ROUGH. But, the particularly rough part about winter here, is the period between January and March. The hype around Christmas and NYE has passed, and we pray for a groundhog to tell us that there won’t be “6 more weeks of winter” (though, spring always seems an eternity away, no matter what Sir Willie might say…). That being said, life’s too short to mope about cold weather or a lack of tropical vacation opportunities. So, I’ve decided to dedicate the next few months to focusing on the amazing winter activities and destinations Canada, more specifically Ontario, has…

10 Photos that Will Make You Want to Visit Romania
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’ve been spending quite a bit of time lately traveling to “more affordable” countries, giving me the opportunity to travel more frequently and stick to a budget. With this mindset, I’ve had the chance to visit places I might not have perviously considered visiting. One of those places has been ROMANIA.

How I Budget / Plan for Travel
No matter which way you spin it, travel costs money… and, usually, it costs quite a bit of it. Depending on the type of traveller you are, this post may or may not be of any use to you. I considered, at first, writing this post about “how to budget / plan for travel” in general, but then I realized that approach was WAY too broad. Depending on how you like to travel and what your priorities are, etc., it would have potentially left you thinking, “Okay, that doesn’t apply to me at all”. So instead,

Happy World Tourism Day! – How to be a more responsible traveler
World Tourism Day September 27, 2017 “Leave nothing but footprints. Take nothing but pictures. Kill nothing but time.” — Chief Seattle Happy World Tourism Day, Everyone! What better topic to discuss in my first official blog post than one I hold very close and dear to my heart: Responsible Travel ❤️ Tourism has been around forever and the concept of being a tourist is not anything new. However, it takes more than being a tourist to be a responsible traveler. But what does that even mean?

Welcome to my Blog!
HELLO & WELCOME TO MY BLOG! ☼ So, I’ve had more than a few people approach me over the past few years and ask me why I don’t start my own blog. The truth is, I was afraid to be “just another travel blogger”. I was worried about what other people might think, and was worried that my experiences wouldn’t really offer anything unique. But I’ve come to realize
