Being jet lagged has its perks. Yesterday I was up at 3am until 8am working away while the rest of my life was silent. It felt strange but also felt right. I discovered that the birds start singing at 5am. That the first light breaks through at 6am. Today I awoke at 5am after […]

Travel Connections
I remember waking up one morning, staring at the ceiling of a yurt and thinking, “How did I get here?” A pair of Eagle made themselves known as they flew over, as they did every morning of that trip. I looked over at my friend in the bed on the other side of the […]
San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico
Have you ever traveled to a new place and just felt as though there was something in the air. As though you had arrived in a special place and the energy was, well, magical. That’s how I felt upon arriving in San Cristóbal de las Casas. My heart was beating a little quicker than […]
Mexico City in Three Days (or so)
In case you didn’t know, Mexico City is hot right now. My sister lived there for nearly five years about five years ago so I used to visit all of the time. However, lately, I have just used Mexico City as a hopping point to then fly or bus it to other parts of the […]
Land of Medicine Buddha, California
“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 […]

I had traveled to New York City, France and Tampico, Mexico. He had gone to Kentucky for whisk(e)y camp and traveled […]

We recently traveled to Puerto Escondido for a much needed vacation. We booked the trip back at the end of the summer when I was deep in wedding season and when Josh was in talks of switching jobs. It was something to look forward to as we worked through daily work challenges. As our […]
The Best Times in Prince Edward County
Awww Prince Edward County. Or PEC. Or simply, The County. It’s a place that I love to visit and sadly one that we do not visit often enough. This summer we managed to get two visits in and have a third planned for very soon. Our most recent visit was in celebration of my birthday. […]
What to do in the Daintree Rainforest, Queensland, Australia
Back in April, we spent a few days in the Daintree Rainforest of Queensland, Australia. I already previously blogged some about our drive there from Cairns and the awesome treehouse that we stayed in. Booking the trip, we had no idea about what we were getting ourselves into. We knew that it was an […]
The Honeymoon – Daintree Rainforest, Queensland, Australia (Part 1)
A honeymoon blog post? Considering this was nearly four months ago, it is about time that I get blogging about it. By now you have (hopefully!) read all about our awesome wedding. Seriously, it was one of the best days of our lives. We feel so blessed to have such awesome people in our lives who […]
