Travel is hard on your body. Considering what you are doing (seeing amazing things) I know this sounds a little boo-hoo-ish, but the struggle is real. No one's body feels good after sitting on a plane, train, or in an automobile for a long period of time. You know what I mean. Stiff neck from …

As I've been preparing for my upcoming holiday (One week until takeoff!), I've been going through the photos from my last trip to Europe in summer 2015. (What did I see, what did I miss?) And I came across the photos from a sunny stroll around London that I absolutely loved. My Airbnb was in …
When on a road trip, it's all well and good to enjoy the scenery from inside the car - especially when it's raining! - but, (aside from when nature calls) I feel that breaks are important, a) to get you out of the car to stretch your legs (Your hip flexors will thank you!), b) …

A couple days ago, this city girl got on a plane to the Great ‘White’ North. I say ‘White’ because, well it’s summer, and right now, it’s mostly the Great ‘Green’ North. Still spectacularly beautiful though. It’s so… Open. Or, as the Travel Yukon tagline says: Larger Than Life. My flight was me and a very …
It's raining outside. Yup, it's raining, it's cold, and it's officially autumn (or the less elegant sounding "fall") in Vancouver. I sound a bit whiny about the weather because up until Tuesday, it was sunny and warm; and up until today, there was no need for a super warm coat and a pair of my …
I went to a lunch time class at Inner Space on Tuesday, and the teacher was one I had never had before named Heather. Heather is awesome and so was the class. The class focus was opening the heart, so lots of upper back bends to open the chest. Back in the fall, I ended up with …
