But we love it and our cozy city life. Numbered, but in no particular order, here’s what we’re enjoying about Victoria so far: 1.

10 Travel Stretches to Keep Your Body Happy
Travel can be hard on the body. Here are ten travel yoga stretches to help you feel happy and well while on the go. (Psst! These are also great stretches for people who work at a desk all day.)

VisitBrighton sent the Brit and I on a day of fun date ideas for travlling couples. There’s so much to do in this romantic seaside town!

Coastal BC Craft Breweries Worth the Extra Road Trip Mile
Continuing with our #friendsinbeerplaces road trip along the Coastal Ale Trail… When I travel, I’m all about convenience, efficiency, and quality. No set order. All three things come in handy when exploring, but sometimes you need to go the extra mile (or ferry) in order to find quality. The road less travelled, if you will.
