  • The Best Way to go Dog sledding in Latvia

    Dog Sledding in Latvia

    I was born in January during a snowstorm, and on the way to the hospital while my poor mom was in labor,  my dad stopped at Tim Horton‘s to get a double double. This could explain why I love the winter, and hate coffee. Nonetheless, for my 25th birthday I wanted to do something wintery. Hollywood […]

  • A weekend guide to Jersey – no, not that one.

    Posted on November 7, 2017January 24, 2018
    Jersey

    Friend: ‘Where’s your next trip to?’ Me: ‘Jersey!’ Friend: ‘OMG YOU’RE COMING BACK TO NORTH AMERICA!?!!?’ Me: ‘No, not that one.’ This conversation took place about 12 times with various friends, family and internet friends. When I explained the Jersey I was referring to was actually in Britain, I was met with even more confused […]

  • London for the wannabe local

    Posted on September 23, 2017January 24, 2018

    “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” — Samuel Johnson London is arguably one of the most iconic and diverse cities in the world. It has everything from the UNESCO listed Westminster Abbey to alternative and punk-rock Camden Town. With the value of the pound fluctuating due to Brexit, and […]

  • The Worst Part of Being an Expat

    Posted on September 8, 2017January 24, 2018

    Today, is an ‘expat day.’ I’m feeling a little emotional and I wasn’t really expecting to. One of my friends who I’ve worked with for the past two years, and who went through all the sponsorship visa stress with me, had her last day at work. She’s heading back to the land of Hobbits in […]

  • Discovering Dorset and the Jurassic Coast

    Durdle Door

    I’m always so curious as to whether the average non-Brit knows there’s so much more to the UK than just London and Edinburgh. I can say honestly that before moving to London 3 years ago, my mind never even thought to wander much farther than that (I also thought that England, Scotland, Wales would all […]

  • 3 year Londonversary!

    Posted on August 28, 2017January 24, 2018
    London

    Today, marks three years in London and this crazy full-on, diverse, drink loving country. It’s my Londonversary, and also the longest I’ve spent in one place since 2009, so I figured, ‘hey, let’s launch that blog you keep thinking about.’ But first, let me tell you the story of how I got here – because […]

  • Top Tips for hiking the 7 Rila Lakes, Bulgaria

    Posted on June 27, 2017February 15, 2018

    I always have this internal battle with myself when I discover lesser known destinations like the Bulgarian Rila Lakes. On one hand, I want to share the love and tell the world how great and uncharted the location is so they can experience it themselves, on the other hand, I want to keep it my […]

  • Everything you need to know about Hot Air Ballooning over Vilnius, Lithuania

    Posted on February 5, 2017
    hot air ballooning

    When you think hot air ballooning, most people would think of the picture-perfect sunset backdrops of Cappadocia, Turkey or Bagan, Myanmar. When I think of it, I picture the crisp autumn morning fog slowly rising from the red rooftops in the base of the Baltic states; Vilnius, Lithuania. Vilnius is one of the only European […]

  • Brussels: The Perfect Weekend Getaway

    Posted on February 5, 2017
    Brussels, Belgium

    Belgium was the last Western European country I needed to visit, and considering the proximity to the UK, I can’t understand why it took me SO long to get there! My Great Grandfather immigrated from Brussels, Belgium to Canada, and part of me was secretly hoping that I might be able to qualify for some […]

    Travel is cheaper than you think; sometimes you can buy a flight to another country cheaper than you can eat one meal out. Would you believe me if I told you I’ve seen over 50% of Europe without spending more than £50 return on each flight? I have one rule that I live by when […]
