Aria Hotel Budapest: A Hungarian High Note
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
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.

Hiking Camelback Mountain, Arizona
“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…

Holy Grail Travel Apps
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.

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
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…

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.
