Not sure which European country, city or town to visit next? Here are 10 beautiful apartments in countries throughout Europe, each for 40 dollars a night (or much less). These apartments are either in the middle of a bustling city (Warsaw, Porto…) or somewhere unknown, waiting to be discovered (the likes of Kaunas County in […]
In Montreal, there is always some sort of festival or event taking place – whether it be 30 degrees (yup, we use Celsius!) and sunny or below freezing. Montrealers love their concerts, exhibits, lectures and festivals. Now that summer is on its way (the sky is so blue, and the sun is shining – even […]
After having been to Europe a handful of times, I was ready for a new challenge! I (sort of) started planning a trip to Ecuador – I really want to check out the Galapagos Islands. After months of dreaming (and deliberating), I finally decided to hold off on this trip. I will get to Ecuador […]

What better time than now to shout out two of my favourites and add a few more restaurants to your #veganinmontreal […]
Paris has always been on my bucket list until the day I landed in Paris and I was able to cross it off my list. Paris is a magical city, filled with lights, fresh baked baguette, Parisians and je ne sais quoi. As soon as I landed in Paris I was immediately in love with the […]
Having grown up in Montreal I often take for granted how freakin’ cool this city is. I mean – there is always something happening in Montreal and this coming February won’t be any different. From free activities to month-long festivals, there’ll be no shortage of things to do this February in Montreal. Get your planner […]
10 cities, 10 lessons. I spent two months exploring Europe and wanted to share some of my reflections and some of the life lessons I learned. Whether or not you’re traveling, every day is an adventure and every day you learn something new. These lessons are not necessarily earth-shattering. They can be more subtle but […]
