On this blog, I’ve probably used the phrases “prettiest place ever”, “the most beautiful place I’ve ever been” and “my new favourite city” a kajillion times. Evidently, this cannot be true of every place I describe. I fall in love with so many cities and destinations that I can’t help but to use a ridiculous […]
Roadtrip to Neuschwanstein Castle
Despite the fact that I still have such an excessive number of places to write about from this summer’s trip, I have also neglected to share stories from a ton of places I visited last summer. I was scrolling through my old Instagram posts yesterday, as I like to do to reminisce, and came upon my pictures […]
My Magical Experience Hiking Pulpit Rock in Norway
Sometimes, when I’m travelling and doing something particularly cool, I pause for a moment and realize that I feel like I’m in a movie scene. It’s an overwhelming feeling of awe that my life can be so amazing, gratitude that I get to live this way, and shock that the world is so beautiful. The […]
The Ten Places I Most Want to Live
Sometimes I visit a city and absolutely adore it, but would never want to live there. Examples that come to mind are Goreme in Cappadocia (too small and remote), Dar es Salaam (too bustling, although I’d probably give it a shot), and Florence (too touristy for its size). On the other hand, there are the places that […]
Toronto Bucket List
As you might remember from this post, in December I signed a contract for a real adult job, and in July I moved to Toronto. I still have VERY conflicted feelings about being ‘settled down’, but considering I’ve already been to Muskoka, New York City, Boston and Pennsylvania and I’m off to Quebec City tomorrow, […]
York May Be My Favourite Part of England
I grew up on British humour like Fawlty Towers. If you haven’t seen Fawlty Towers, please watch it – it is literally the funniest thing in the history of comedy. It’s a show by John Cleese (the funniest member of Monty Python) and basically all of my family’s jokes come from the show. My dad […]
Falling in Love with Edinburgh
I always wonder if I fall in love with certain destinations because they come early in a trip, when I’m fresh and excited, and then feel ‘meh’ about some places I hit on the end of an exhausting journey. But even if the fact that I arrived in Glasgow straight off an international flight from […]
A Guide to Hiking Ben Vrackie in Pitlochry, Scotland
What better way to start a trip than by climbing a mountain? The first stop on my Summer 2016 adventure was in Scotland – I landed in Glasgow and took the train straight to Pitlochry, a town I had chosen basically on the premise that there was a mountain I could climb. I didn’t have […]
I’m Back: Post Travel Blues, Toronto, and Future Exploration
Five weeks ago, I was standing on top of the place Hitler died. Six weeks ago, I was arriving on the Zanzibar beach about to try scuba diving. Seven weeks, I was riding down the Tanzanian highway in a rickshaw, hot and disoriented and blissful. Eight weeks – dancing in a Turkish bar after basically […]
Ouarzazate: What Happens When You Wing It
Every time I look at a picture of myself in Morocco, or flip through the pages of the journals I filled up while I was there, I get a kind of out of body experience – it doesn’t seem like it was actually me that was there. I think that’s because it was so different […]
