Sustainable Bathroom Swaps 101
Living a more sustainable life is a journey that looks different for everyone. I want to start this blog post by recognizing that I am in a privileged position to be able to make certain plastic-free swaps, and it is not a position that everyone has.

Best of Berlin in 48 Hours
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.

During my time in Berlin, I was moved deeply by the city and its people. I was touched by the way the…

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.
