“Is this what your home sounds like?” she asked. “No,” I smiled looking up at the forest, breathing in the fresh air and thinking of my Parkdale neighbourhood in Toronto. “The sound of my home is sirens and traffic and seagulls.” How different my life was in that yurt in the woods in Northern […]

The Best Girls Weekend: Miami Beach, Florida
UPDATE (December 2016): If you want to know the latest on the best bars to check out in Miami, head over to my sister site Bartender Atlas. ••• I am recently back from the best girls weekend ever. In the summer when we were in Los Angeles visiting our friends, Lisa asked what I […]
California 3rd Stop: Sonoma Valley
Awww, wine country! After visiting Los Angeles and San Francisco, the last day of our California trip was spent in the country in the beautiful Sonoma Valley. The day after Barb and Brian’s wedding, they had organised for all of us to head out of the city and see three wineries. We left early and got […]
California 2nd Stop: The Mission, San Francisco
I am really embarrassed by how long it has taken me to blog this, the second part of our California trip that took place way back in June. Man, time flies. You likely forget, but the first lag of our California trip was spent in Los Angeles before we headed to San Francisco. The whole point […]
Forty-Eight Hours in New York City
These short trips to awesome cities seems to be our thing. Remember twenty-four hours in Havana? A couple of weeks ago we spent forty-eight hours in New York City. It’s funny because on our recent trip to California, I had said that I was really itching to go to NYC for our next getaway as […]
California 1st Stop: Los Angeles
Awww LA LA Land! Sunny California. Where people go to chase their dreams. The last time that I was in Los Angeles was for a brief couple of days. Since I was there for a shoot on that trip, I did not get to see much of the city of angels so I was happy […]
San Francisco in Three Nights
San Francisco. An American city that I always wanted to visit on the delicious West coast. It’s a young, happening city full of great cocktail bars, sunny weather plus tons to see and do. You may remember in November when we went to Cuba as my birthday present from Josh? Well, this was his December […]
Santa Monica and Venice Beach, California
In my growing list of short, random trips, I need to add Santa Monica, California to the list. A couple of weeks ago, I was there for a mere three days. The purpose of the trip is top secret for the moment (more later, I promise). While I did not have a ton of time […]
Las Vegas, baby!
Last weekend I was in Las Vegas, aka Sin City. You have heard it all about this place. “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” We have all seen The Hangover. 🙂 I had been once before a few years ago. I had traveled with an old boyfriend on a long weekend to see just […]
24 Hours in Miami
Last week I was in Miami for all of twenty-four hours. Sometimes I am wild like that but I also believe that when opportunities call, you just have to jump on that plane. Miami is a great city to travel to from Toronto: the flight is under three hours and it is in the same […]
