I have loved reading for most of my life and have often used it as an escape. One thing I particularly love about books is that they transport you to a place you have never been before. In fact, I blame books for my insatiable desire to travel everywhere and …
Gift-giving is a true art form and it can be particularly tricky to shop for frequent travellers. I try to keep a running “wishlist” for when people ask what I want for the holidays, but I know many don’t. I have compiled some of my favorite gifts for travel lovers …
The Big Apple, the City that Never Sleeps, NYC. Whatever you call it, New York City is an incredible place to visit and, as a resident of this great city, an even better place to call home. Since moving here last July, I have been lucky enough to host friends …
Airline points are every travellers’ best friend, but many don’t like being tied down to one particular airline. I have no such qualms about this. I have had my American Express Delta Gold Card since I was 21 and I love it. My family lives in a small town and …
Spring is hands down my favorite season of the year. It’s the first reprieve from a cold winter, it’s when my birthday is, and its an amazing time to travel. The weather in most places is starting to warm up, flowers are blooming, and trees are growing new leaves after …

I started this blog almost 4 years ago now and it has changed a lot since then. I have been able to keep up with my blog through grad school, during my post-grad job search, and now working full-time and the reason for that is the amazing tools available to …

Paris has to be one of my favourite cities in Europe (possibly in the world). Lately, I have been looking through some pictures from my past travels and was reminiscing on the last time I was in Paris. I realised I never got around to posting about that trip so …
Oh your mid-20’s. The time in your life where half your friends still don’t have real jobs and the other half are getting engaged and married. In the past year I have been to 3 different weddings(including being a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding back in September and I …
As many of you know, I was fortunate enough to spend a year in Manchester, England while earning my Master’s degree. When I first moved to Manchester in September 2015, I honestly was not a fan of the city. At first look, it seemed like a smaller, less interesting, and …
It has been a while since I posted and a lot has happened. As I start 2019, I want to look back at all the amazing things that happened in 2018 and look forward to some big plans I have for this coming year. I am finally settling into a …
