A Haunting Evening with the Legends of Horror at Casa Loma
New to the Toronto scene in the last few years, the Legends of Horror event at Casa Loma has taken the city by storm during the Hallowe’en seasons. As a person who is generally not a fan of horror, or fear inducing endeavours, I hadn’t previously considered entertaining the idea of attending such an extravagant haunted house. HOWEVER, that all changed when I was invited to a press evening with the cast; an event launch sponsored by Captain Morgan. I looked into the trailers, the reviews, and some videos online and thought, “But how could I not?!”. The whole event just seemed so over-the-top… but in a terrifyingly intriguing way.…

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.…

Top 10 Travel Essentials
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.

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!

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.
