Source I’ve not been everywhere in the world yet – but it’s certainly on my list! My plan is to explore most, if not all, of the world and I think I’ve managed a good portion of it already. In doing so, I’ve learned a lot too. Here are my top five tips on making […]
The Time We Missed our Rosario Islands Boat Tour in Colombia
At 3:00AM, in a club in Cartagena, the opening notes of Despacito blasting around us, I looked over at my friend Theresa. “We should probably go home! We have a boat tour leaving at 8:00AM!” I yelled half-heartedly. But we both just shrugged at eachother, silently agreeing to push through, and I refocused my attention […]
How to Spend Five Days in Japan: Kyoto
Kyoto is almost as magical as Disney World. If you only have time for one city in Japan, I would choose Kyoto over Tokyo. Also, does anyone else find it really entertaining that Tokyo and Kyoto are anagrams of eachother? No, just me? Ok. Anyway, how I got to Kyoto was almost as awesome as […]
Budapest is Still My Favourite City in Europe
The first time me and my sister visited Budapest, we had been aiming for Vienna instead, but the pricing worked out better to stop in Budapest between Turkey and Spain. I’ve written a ton of blog posts about the city already (see here) and everytime someone asks for Europe advice, I try to get them […]
Braving the Cold in Krakow
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, […]
