I love writing these planning posts so that after I actually go on my trip, I can look back and see whether everything went according to plan (spoiler alert, it never does). Without further ado here is more detail on where I’ll be going and what I’ll be doing! Hawaii (6 nights) I am still […]
How I booked a trip around the world for $2000
The summers of 2015 and 2016 were the first time I travelled for a few months in a row. I had the absolute best time, despite being robbed on the first trip – and the second summer was perfect and I couldn’t wait to do it again. Sadly, I have had to work full time […]
Best of 2018
What a year! I spent 4 months living in Toronto crying a lot, and then 8 months back at home in Nova Scotia getting my life together quite successfully. I didn’t go on as many trips as usual, but I still made it to Prague, Budapest, Krakow, Amsterdam, London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Jamaica and the Dominican […]
Highlights of Two Weeks in Tanzania
My trip to Tanzania was possibly the best two weeks of my life, but I have barely written about it. I kept wondering how to even start, so today I just decided I need to dive in and talk about all the incredible things I did and saw. It was such a raw two weeks […]
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 […]
