My first glimpse of Krakow was at 5AM, walking through the Old Town Square to get to our hostel. I am not usually good at following the classic travel advice of getting up early to see the world’s most famous sites totally empty of other tourists, but when you arrive on a city on an […]
Giving Prague a Second Chance
Before I flew to Europe in the dead of winter, I was kind of regretting my decision to book a flight somewhere just as cold as Canada – why didn’t I decide to go to Nicaragua or Cuba or even Mexico? It could have been because I wanted to see a winter wonderland, or because […]
Best of 2017
Last year, I wrote a massively long Best of 2016 post and I still reread it constantly, every time I want to reminisce on how awesome that year was. I don’t know if anyone else found it as interesting as I do, but either way I really enjoyed writing it. This year, I was thinking […]
How to Spend Five Days in Japan: Tokyo
Japan has fascinated me ever since I can remember. Last year, when I found a super cheap flight to Hong Kong, I knew I wanted to combine it with a hop over to Japan, even if I wouldn’t be able to see much of the country. Through the magic of budget airlines, a friend living […]
Sailing the Greek Islands with MedSailors
To be honest, I was very apprehensive before I embarked on my first real tour experience, sailing the Greek islands with Medsailors. A university friend, Haley, and I wanted to explore some more off the beaten path islands, and we found this trip that seemed to tick all of the boxes. But I’m so used […]
Hippie Paradise in Minca
I had a very specific itinerary for my nine days in Colombia. How much of that itinerary did I follow? The first night. After that, everything went out the window including a few prepaid hostels, a flight, and some tours. I didn’t lose too much money due to the cheap cost of travelling in Colombia, […]

A Weird Weekend in Ljubljana, Slovenia
When I au paired in Trieste, a gorgeous city in the far northwest corner of Italy, I was most excited about how close it was to Croatia and Slovenia. Not only did this proximity make Trieste one of the coolest cities in Italy, it made it easy for me to explore the neighboring countries! Or […]
Colombian Football Fans are Terrifying and Amazing
In my first post about my amazing trip to Colombia, I promised a story about tear gas – and here it comes! There’s also another story in here about the worst bus ride in the entire history of bus rides. While I was wandering around Medellin, my friend Theresa was industriously making plans for our […]
