Things I Wont (and Will) Miss About London

June 30, 2018June 24, 202043 Comments

Living in London was always a pipe dream of mine. How would I ever land a sponsorship in the city, especially right after university? It was on my solo backpacking trip in 2016 that I was informed about the Working Holiday Visa, where Canadians under 30-something can simply apply and pay to live/work in the … Continue reading Things I Wont (and Will) Miss About London

London Favourites: From A New Local

January 31, 2017June 24, 202051 Comments

You'd think I'd be prepared when someone asked me what my favourite London spots are. I swear, it's a question that leaves me struggling for words; "Uhh ... I love it all! My favourite thing is just exploring the city!" Though that may be honest, it's a classic BS answer. I am always prepped with an … Continue reading London Favourites: From A New Local

2017 Resolutions & Looking Back on 2016

January 9, 2017June 25, 202024 Comments

2016 has surprised me, as I never imagined it could top 2015. This has been a year of adventure, growth, and turning lifelong dreams into a reality. Of course, 2016 has been a shitty year globally, but who says I can't focus on the positive? Now I know 2017 might not be as life changing … Continue reading 2017 Resolutions & Looking Back on 2016

Things I’ve Learned About London (So Far)

September 28, 2016June 25, 202035 Comments

I've officially been here a month, and there is still so much to learn as an expat in London. So as I discover more lessons, I will add them to the list. You may notice that there are a lot of lessons on budgeting – at the ripe age of 22 I am finally experiencing … Continue reading Things I’ve Learned About London (So Far)

My UK Visa has arrived in the mail and my flight is booked! In about two weeks, I will be living out my dream of moving to London. Some people don't understand why I'm so transfixed on the city. With recent world events, namely Brexit, many people have been asking me Why London? Keep reading to find out. Why I'm Moving to … Continue reading Why I Chose to Move to London

My Month of Solo Travel in Review

July 26, 2016October 18, 201764 Comments

Before I left, a few people asked me, "What do you hope to gain from this trip?". Honestly, just completing this trip seemed like a big accomplishment (I would have never imagined doing something like this a few years back). I didn't expect some Eat Pray Love sort of self discovery ... but of course I'd take … Continue reading My Month of Solo Travel in Review

When You Don’t Live in One Place for Long

July 18, 2016June 24, 202040 Comments

My life has been all over the place these past few years; since I moved to Halifax from Ottawa for university. Once I was there, my program had me moving around every four months to complete internships (a great program btw). Now top that off with an exchange to France and a month long backpacking … Continue reading When You Don’t Live in One Place for Long

2016 Travel Resolutions

January 6, 2016January 6, 201617 Comments

I am not one to set New Year's resolutions ... anymore. Because don't kid yourself, if you didn't exercise before January 1st you probably wont be doing it much, if at all, by February 1st. But as much as I don't believe in New Year's resolutions being the answer to changing your life, I do think … Continue reading 2016 Travel Resolutions

Movie Travelspiration

November 18, 2015May 20, 202019 Comments

Do you ever scroll through Netflix solely looking for a film to ignite your inner wanderlust? Me too. Sometimes I won't even care if the movie sucks, as long as it shows me around a place I could travel with unintentional tips of what to see/do.  (This post was inspired by Erica at Girl, Unspotted.) … Continue reading Movie Travelspiration
