TBT: Saint Lucia

April 18, 2015 || 3 Comments

My parents took me and my sister on so many amazing trips when I was growing up. I’ve shared posts about a few of them (England, Newfoundland, Antigua, Quebec City), but I’m home right now, and looking through all of our photo albums made me realize how much I haven’t shared! In the spirit of […]

Ziplining with Antigua Rainforest

February 22, 2015 || Leave a Comment

Two years ago, when we first went to Antigua, we didn’t get a chance to go ziplining. At the end of the trip, my parents told us that if we ever came back, they’d take us on that trip. I don’t think they thought we’d be returning so soon, but 2 years later and we […]

Stand Up Paddleboarding in Antigua

February 2, 2015 || 2 Comments

On my family’s trip to Antigua over Christmas, there was one thing I knew I wanted to try: stand up paddleboarding. This seemed a bit ridiculous for the most uncoordinated person in the world. I also happen to be totally terrified of deep water, and you can’t really stand up paddle in water under 5 feet. […]

2014 in Review: Beginning a Life of Travel

January 1, 2015 || Leave a Comment

I’ve always travelled a fair amount with my parents, but 2014 was the year I really got inspired to make travel a bigger part of my life. This year I took family trips, a girls’ trip, a business trip and, most importantly: my very first solo trip. I also started this blog in June, which […]

Where to Stay in Antigua

July 25, 2014 || Leave a Comment

Antigua and Barbuda make up a small island nation between the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, and the country is aptly nicknamed ‘Land of 365 Beaches.’ This may be my favourite Caribbean island that I’ve visited. Where to Stay in Antigua My family and I had an amazing time on Antigua over Christmas 2012. Although we didn’t […]
