Happy Valentine’s Day to my 🇬🇧 ❤️. The Happy Valentine’s Day to my 🇬🇧 ❤️. There’s no one else I’d rather walk beaches, city sidewalks, trails and anywhere else around the world with. I’m so excited for our next adventure across the pond! 🎉
Happy Galentine’s Day! I miss travelling and I R Happy Galentine’s Day! I miss travelling and I REALLY miss getting to see these lovelies in person. As of the spring this bunch goes from three in 🇨🇦 and one in 🇬🇧 to a 50/50 split. One day, we’ll be able to get on planes for fun again and rent a car and take fun girls’ trips abroad. Last time we did Scotland, maybe Italy or France next time? Let’s go drink a lot of wine and eat good food. Tag your travel besties in the comments to wish them a happy #GalentinesDay! #westcoastcitygirl #citygirltravels
One of my favourite words is attraversiamo. Not ju One of my favourite words is attraversiamo. Not just because it sounds lovely and Italian is forever a language I keep coming back to learn on Duolingo — but because it's a word with meaning. Attraversiamo means 'let's go across'. I've always looked at a new year like crossing a very important street, so this word has resonated with me since the first time I read 'Eat Pray Love'. (I also like to think of this word when a new angel, like my dad, gets to heaven or wherever it is that our loved ones go when they leave us.) Not only have I — and everyone else — crossed into 2021 with great relief, but it will be a year where I literally go across the country and over an ocean to a new home... because we are moving to England! (Where I will also have to properly get used to looking right instead of left first to cross the street. 🙈 ) Visa approval pending, I will be on a plane this spring to move to Cambridge with the 🇬🇧. No, a pandemic does not make for great timing to become an ex-pat, but there's never really perfect timing for anything in life. All we can do is wash our hands, wear a mask, and make space. And sell EVERYTHING. And this is where I shamelessly tell you that we are in virtual garage sale mode, so if you're in Metro Vancouver or a 🇨🇦 Posher that needs/wants anything, click the LINK IN BIO to see the for sale list and listings. (House things, furniture, clothes, books, etc.) It will be updated daily with item listing links, etc. Happy New Year, folks! I wish you the very best in this brand new — and hopefully more positive — year. We are strong, we are smart, we are 👒 @tilleyofficial 👗 @orbclothing 👜 @orbclothing 🩴 @malvados 📸 @jjosuephotos

The man loved and respected wine like no one else I've met and I hope we can visit some of his favourite European wine destinations in 2021. 🤞 Happy New Year, Daddy. ✨ Happy New Year, everyone. It WILL be better. ❤ 🥂 . . . #happynewyear #byeeee2020 #peaceout2020 #hello2021 #westcoastcitygirl #citygirldrinks

Anyone else miss standing in line to check your su Anyone else miss standing in line to check your suitcase? I never thought I would say that. I haven't NOT travelled somewhere in years. It feels so strange... and it’s something I’ve grieved in 2020. A year ago, today, we were checking in at YYJ to fly to California for a few weeks. We packed just one suitcase for the two of us, a backpack for the 🇬🇧, and a purse and backpack for me. (This was actually a really great way to pack!) The UK — and likely from there to Portugal to explore one of my dad's favourite places — will be our next travel destination. Hopefully in 2021. (Vaccines, first!) 🤞 Where are you keen to hop on a plane to when we can properly and safely do that again? #citygirltravels #traveldreams

I made scones a few days ago and it went a long way to cheer me up for a few reasons: ✨ It was ALMOST like going for afternoon tea ✨ I LOVE scones (and I've eaten more bread in 2020 than I have in almost a decade) ✨ The kitchen smelled amazing ✨ The Brit also enjoyed them — and that made me especially happy Whatever is going on for you at the moment, I hope you can take some time to (safely and not in a way that will merit you a COVID violation fine...) do something that makes you happy. What has cheered you up these last couple of months? Let's make a list of happy things in the comments below! 🙌
