Time for another solo getaway! After such a successful trip to Barcelona and Madrid last May, I was itching to get back to Spain and discover more. My favourite hostel chain, Hostel One, has hostels in Seville so I chose to start there. I was craving some beach vibes too, so the next stop planned … Continue reading Solo In Spain: Visiting Seville & Valencia
In an effort to use up my remaining holiday allowance of 2016 and to finally tick off a city I've been itching to visit, I booked a last-minute trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. It would be my first solo trip since my month-long adventure back in May! Though a flight would be cheaper (when you don't … Continue reading Edinburgh (and a Mini Visit to the Highlands)
It'd be a shame to move to London and never explore beyond the city's borders. Step one? Book a ticket. My friends, Molly and Pip, and I were just looking for a short day trip to an exciting place. Oxford is only an hour away by train, so a perfect first stop to discover more … Continue reading A Day Trip to Oxford
Tomorrow is the day! The BIG MOVE. I still can't believe that one of my biggest dreams is coming true. This post is part of the Moving to London series. I list the things I've done to prepare once my visa arrived. I also answer the most common questions I've received from family and friends about the … Continue reading Moving to London: Before I Go
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
I have heard so many great things about Prague but never expected to love it as much as I did. You will be in awe of the fairytale streets and historic landmarks but will have a blast drinking super cheap beer and making friends on nightly pub crawls. Prague is the perfect blend of culture by day … Continue reading Prague: A Fairytale Party City
Putting aside the whole glamourized outlook of Paris for a second... Visiting Paris for the fourth time, on a tight budget, with just a backpack, and during the winter isn't really the ideal situation. You've seen most attractions, you have no money for shopping, nor room to keep anything you buy, and you can't take … Continue reading Paris … Again
During my recent trip to Paris, my friend Morgan and I had enough time that we could dedicate a day to seeing another city. While brainstorming, we brought up cities in France and Belgium, and then Morgan brought up London and a smile spread so wide across my face. We had both been before so … Continue reading London for the Day
Over the holidays I went to visit my friend Olivia in Toronto for New Years. Ottawa to Toronto is about a 4 hour train ride, which is a much more comfortable option than flying. For those of you familiar with my blog, you'll know that New York City has always been my dream city to … Continue reading Toronto: The Canadian NYC
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
