A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a bucket list (and itinerary) for a day in New York, with a focus on Manhattan. I promised a similar post, but with a focus on Brooklyn – so here we are! I’m excited to share this post, because Brooklyn is a ton of fun and while in […]
New York City is one of my favourite cities – something about the city just makes me feel alive. It’s an exciting city to be in – and even if everything is so big and busy, you feel like you’re a part of something really cool and special. NYC is huge – with 5 distinct […]
“I think this is what heaven will be like!” This is what I told my daughters as we passed under the gates into Universal Studios in Orlando. The attendants were joyful and they looked at us as if they were waiting just for us… I felt welcomed. And the emotions did not stop. Every detail […]
My recent visit to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was just like – for lack of a better word – magic. From Diagon Alley to King’s Cross Station in London, to the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 ¾, to Hogsmeade and Hogwarts Castle… I felt as if I was inside the books and movies. Whether you’re a (super)fan […]
While you’re in kid mode at Universal Studios (jumping from one ride to another, in awe of all the colours and characters, walking in freakin’ Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley…), it’s natural to want to indulge in some treats. You’ll also need to refuel. Here is where and how to eat vegan at Universal Studios Orlando (some not-so-healthy treats […]

The day following the wedding, my sisters and I decided to take a little trip to […]
When you think California what comes to mind? It’s likely you’ll think of sunshine, celebrities and Hollywood, beaches and surfing – and for some of us, we can’t think of California and not sing the theme song to The OC (I’m not alone on this, right?). California is also overflowing with healthy restaurants and cafés, and […]
Featured image: downtown St. Johnsbury by Expedia.mx Have you ever heard of St. Johnsbury? Chances are you haven’t – unless you live there, have been there (but it’s not a location most people scope out) or drove through the town on your way to somewhere else, anywhere else. St. Johnsbury was an early-established, small town in […]
Saint Albans is a quaint little town embedded in the Green Mountain State of Vermont. I recently visited St. Albans while on my way to Burlington. We stopped in St. Albans to visit a friend and grab a coffee but we ended up staying for a little longer, thanks to its small town magic and […]
Vermont is known as the Green Mountain State: it is full of mountains and greenery, scenic waterfalls and state parks and for those who haven’t heard of the state’s biggest treasure (according to me and my fellow foodie friends) – it is also full of green, organic and healthy restaurants. For me, a Montrealer, Vermont […]
