Everything we ate in Japan
I’ve been tuning up this blog lately and was reviewing one of my earliest posts, about my trip to Japan. This was a jam-packed, whirlwind trip and in my original post I didn’t have a chance to write in detail about one of the best parts of travelling in Japan – the food! Now, at…

The last hoorah in Bangkok
Today’s forecast: 7°C, sunny 🌞 (yup, definitely back in Canada) Final mosquito bite tally: 16? After an exhausting 24 hours in transit, I’m now back home in chilly Canada.

Soaking up the sights in Spain
As there’s less than a month until my next big trip, I thought that I’d take the time to reminisce on the place where I caught my travel bug: Spain. I went to Spain for the first time way back in 2015, so I’m really digging into my brain to bring back these memories. I…
