After having lived abroad for 3 years in Europe, we made the decision to moved back to our Canadian home…

Which Travel Accommodation is Best for You?
Personally, I can’t bear the thought of sharing a 10-bed dorm room or bathroom with strangers. I’ve done the whole…

Mexican Hacienda Yaxcopoil
If there is one thing I always try to seek out, it’s unique travel experiences that are specific to that region. While researching for my trip through the Yucatan Peninsula, I became obsessed with the idea of staying at a Mexican Hacienda – essentially an estate (typically that had once been a plantation in its heyday) that…

How to Have a Girls’ Workation Weekend
When you just need to get away from it all, but don’t have the time for travel days. When you want to bounce ideas off someone who just gets it. When you could really use some girl time. What do you do when you find yourself needing all the above? You book a…

Visit Valladolid, Mexico
The first time I visited Valladolid, Mexico, was just to pass through. Only a few minutes of driving along some side streets was enough to make us vow to come back. I tacked on a couple days to the end of our Yucatan road trip to explore the cute colonial city further. I won’t lie,…

Pretty in Pink | Merida, Mexico
If there is a pink wall I will find it. So when an entirely pink hotel pops up in my Mexican trip planning search, I was sold. The Rosas & Xocolate Hotel in Merida, Mexico was enough of a destination to turn my originally-planned all-beach vacation into a road trip just to make a pitstop at…

Post-travel depression
I had just moved back home after living abroad for the past three years in Europe, on a tiny little island in the middle of the Mediterranean, in which I used as a home-base for travelling. I’d go on a trip a month, a novelty that never wore off coming from Canada (where we could…

Situated along Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast, Popoyo beach is tucked between two cliff outcroppings and is slowly emerging as the country’s next surf destination. Due to its remote location and lack of accessibility via public transportation, it is still largely undeveloped. Amongst some of the newer accommodation options popping up is 99 Surf Lodge, a sleek and minimalistic beachfront…

Guide to Granada Nicaragua
Perched between the dormant Mombacho volcano and the fresh waters of Lake Nicaragua, the city of Granada is rich in colonial heritage, colourful architecture, great restaurants and bars and due to it being a relatively new travel destination, it will also have you feeling as if you stepped back in time. To begin our adventure we…

The Top of the Rock NYC
Although I had been up to the Top of the Rock in NYC before, it never disappoints. The 360 degree view over Manhatten is unbeatable, especially with the Chrysler building front and centre. This time around, I pre-purchased tickets for the opening time slot in an effort to beat the crowds, and we had a…

What I Actually Want for Christmas
Throughout the entire year, I consistently build up a wish list of things I stumble across and fall in love with, leading me to have a full-fledged Christmas gift list nearing the end of the year. I then filter that list down to a curated Christmas catalogue that I share with family and friends. I am…

Chunky Cable Knit Vest in West Village
I have a love/hate relationship with chunky cable knit sweaters. As Fall is in full swing (and Winter if you’re in Canada!), women are walking around looking incredibly chic in cozy knit sweaters. While a good chunky knit always catches my eye folded on a store display’s shelf, I am constantly disappointed every time I try…
