Three Tips for Travelling in a Pack

I have been very blessed over the past few weeks to have numerous guests join Andy and I on our travels. Some have been planning their journey for months, while others found a break in their schedule and thought, “why not?!”

We dined like kings in Italy with my almost-in-laws, road-tripped around Sardinia with my friend Emma, explored Paris with my mother (her 1st time in the City of Light), and drank far too much beer with our globetrotting friend Kerri in Belgium. The memories that were made will last a lifetime, and the stories that can be told, well, many will be kept within the pack.

But is travelling alone easier than travelling in a group?

There’s Always Next Time: Italy

It would take a lifetime to see and experience all that Italy has to offer. From the north to the south, the coastline to the interior, from the prehistoric Nuraghic ruins to the Roman empire, Italy is a traveller’s dream.

That being said, after my second visit to Italy, it is no surprise I am already looking forward to my next trip. Hopefully, the stars align at some point in life and I will have another chance to experience the beauty, diversity, and history that is this amazing country.

Three Skincare Products I Love

Over the past three months I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of writing my blog. It has given me an outlet to communicate with friends and family, meet new friends via the blogging community and forced me to learn acronyms that were previously not part of my vocabulary. SEO anyone?!

Having my own little space on the internet has also assisted in rediscovering my passion for writing, sharing, and exploring the world around me. But moving forward there are other interests that I would like to integrate into my blog… the first being beauty and fashion.

This Thursday’s Three Things is a beauty post is on my favourite skincare products so read on and enjoy!

Travelling Europe: Then vs. Now

A lot has changed in my life over the past five years. Since I returned from my last backpacking tour of Europe in January of 2011 I have fallen in love, landed my first “real job”, quit said job, moved from Toronto to Vancouver, bought our first home, met new friends, said so-long to some old ones, and did a whole lot of other stuff in between.

Sometimes it feels like yesterday I was raising pints in my dirndl at the 2010 Oktoberfest in Munich, and other times, it feels like a lifetime ago.

I believe firmly that getting older is a blessing, but damn, when did it have to start going by so fast?!
