My London Bucket List Moment at Shakespeare’s Globe
I’ve mentioned before that I’m partial to the South Bank as it is very pedestrian friendly and I love the view (and the Lion!) The Bankside area of the South Bank, also known as the Cultural Quarter, is a slightly quieter part of that side of the Thames, right near London Bridge. It boasts such London gems as the Tate Modern, Borough Market*, and a bucket list item for this theatre nerd: Shakespeare’s Globe. I was so excited…

4 Ways to Unplug While on Holiday and My 2018 Reading List
The Brit and I finished out 2017 with a week of unplugging (or at least trying to) in Lund, BC. Lund is a little seaside village just north of Powell River, and depending on where you are, there is no cellular signal. It’s the perfect place for such an endeavour.

#12DaysofHygge – Day 12: Tourist in my town + Giveaway from LUQL!
Dating an ex-pat, I am very accustomed and happy to be a #touristinmytown. It’s fun to see familiar things in a new light, and I always enjoy going somewhere I’ve never been or trying out a new activity.

As you may have read, I love a good tour when travelling, but…

#12 Days of Hygge – Day 7: Date Night In
The Brit recently sent me a link to a Time Magazine clip that was on their Facebook page about hygge. It sums up hygge really nicely as “creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people.” A great example of this is when I go to cook and eat with my friend Karen.

4 Fabulous Girls’ Night Out Options in London
Having travelled solo a fair amount, I am comfortable being in my own company; but there are many times when I’ve been away and wanted to share a moment, or just have someone (that I know) to talk to. Be that partner or friend. That’s why I loved being on the recent trip with my girlfriends, particularly when we were in London. It was really wonderful to share a city that I’ve become quite fond of with…

Where to stay, eat and explore in Powell River on the Sunshine Coast
With the goal of unplugging and getting our hygge on, the Brit and I went on a Sunshine Coast road trip this past Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend. While it was odd not having a turkey dinner, we had the best time exploring the area and being with each other. I was doing an Instagram takeover for Townsite Brewing, so unplugging was a bit of a challenge, but the other half of the goal was very successful! We had…
