I’ve had one hell of a year! I would even be so bold as to say that this has been the best year of my life – but over the course of this incredible year, I…
Well hello… It’s been about two weeks since I’ve been back in my little corner of the internet, and I’m happy to say not much has changed… yet…
Mr. Ben Brown, The Blonde Abroad, EX-PATS From blogs to YouTube, SnapChat, Instagram and more, it’s easy to catch a case of wanderlust in this day and age. So much so, that sometimes it can…
I admit it. I have a habit of frequenting the larger retail stores in the city – H&M, Forever 21, and ZARA are just a few of the stores I shop at regularly. But on…
When people find out that I moved from Toronto to Vancouver, one of the questions I get asked most is, “Which one do you like better?” or “What is the main difference between the two?”.…
Belgium is a country after my own heart. French fries (with mayonnaise nonetheless), waffles, chocolate and beer are just some of what the country is known for, and a few of the reasons I love…
I have A LOT of hair and as much as I love my thick, blonde, curly tresses, my mane can be difficult to tame on a daily basis. Because of that, I am always on…
There is so much I love about Vancouver within the city itself that I could go weeks without leaving my downtown bubble and be perfectly happy, but sometimes you just have to get away. It…
The Greek island of Santorini conjures up a variety of images when you hear the name. Stark white buildings atop jagged cliffs, contrasting blue domes that are signature to the town of Oia and the quintessential…

On Sunday, I was taking a leisurely walk on the seawall and I noticed something I had yet to see in Vancouver. Three cruise ships docked at Canada Place. The ships, Princess Cruises’ “Crown…
Vancouver is a great place to live if you like to shop. There are amazing boutiques, fabulous department stores, and one of the most expensive retail shopping strips in Canada (Robson Street) – all within…
I have a confession. I didn’t have a taco, drink a pint, or even put my toes in the water at Long Beach. I did Tofino wrong. Now, in my defense, this Labour Day weekend I was…

Winters are brutal in Canada. Let’s be real. The minute the fall temperatures start rolling in, many of us are reminded that the cold winter that is just around the corner. Ice. Snow. Polar Vortex. We…
I have a few guilty pleasures I like to indulge in. Chocolate, red wine, trashy television, ’90s playlists and makeup. Oh boy, do I ever like my makeup. Like many people in this day and…
I’ve been back in Vancouver for about a month, and after enjoying the last few weeks of summer, the time has come… It’s time to get a job. Finding a full-time job is essentially having…
Vancouver is awesome. This city has so much to offer travellers that it’s hard to know where to start offering advice on our best attractions. Of course it’s no surprise that during my time in the…
