Summer Road Trip Essentials You Need in Your Car
The last few years have been full of road trips. I think I’ve been on seven in the last two years – including last year’s Highlands trip with the girls, and the recent trip the Brit and I took along BC’s Coastal Circle Route to meet some #friendsinbeerplaces.

Guest Post: Gill Murray’s Smartphone Food Photography Hacks
Instagram has become more than a fun place to share photos. It has become a community. I know that social media has its downsides, but a fun part for me is connecting with people via the app and then having the opportunity to meet them in person. The Blog Pod girls are an example of this and so is the lovely Gill Murray. Gill is a Scottish food photographer and blogger that I met a few years…

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.

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. When the people at a new travel app called LUQL (http://luql.io) reached out to me last month about taking a tour in Vancouver, I was intrigued.
