helping you explore the world
There is no shortage of things to do in Cape Town. I spent 6 months living and working there and still feel like I didn't have enough time to do everything! Whether you're planning a short trip or have a few months to spend exploring South Africa, you can't miss out on paragliding in Cape [...]
I did my first volunteering trip in Uganda recently and knew it was inevitable I’d receive ‘white savior’ comments and hate as I shared my experience. This brought up a lot of different feelings and thoughts as I tried to navigate volunteering without being a part of the white savior trope. Was it even possible? [...]
Making friends as an adult isn't always easy and it can be especially nerve-wracking if you travel solo! If you're looking to meet people while travelling but aren't quite sure where to start, you're in the right place. As someone who's travelled mostly by myself, I sometimes struggle to connect with new people on a [...]
You don't know real fear until you're standing on a ledge 134m above a river. Sure, I had already gone skydiving from 14,000 feet in Australia but bungy jumping is somehow much scarier. It might be because you have to decide to jump for yourself or the fact that you're going from zero to a [...]
I never thought I’d share this story on my blog. I never thought that one experience could change so many parts of me but I feel like it's time to open up. My hope is that this will raise awareness about sexual assault that many women unfortunately experience – while travelling or at home. This [...]
Staying on top of a workout routine or eating healthy isn't always easy when you're on the go. Today I brought in my friend Sarah Ashbourne to talk about fitness and travel. Sarah is a personal trainer who also shares my passion for travel and exploring new places so it was only fitting to get [...]
I used to think that travelling with a boyfriend would be great. I'd see couples on the beach in the Philippines, frolicking around Australia and the list goes on and on. I used to wish I could have that experience. I'd meet a guy, tell them about my travel plans and hope that they'd come [...]
Travel is amazing for many reasons – one of which being that you learn a lot about yourself, especially when you travel solo. As some of you may know, my journey and addiction to travel began when I studied abroad in Australia in 2016. That year was life-changing in more ways than one and it [...]
Over the past 5 years, I've been lucky enough to travel to nearly 20 countries and it wasn't until this year that I learned I got my adventurous gene from my 82 year old Nana. Having come back to Canada in the midst of the pandemic, I started to go on little day trips with [...]
In 2016 I spent a semester studying abroad in Australia. When I came home, I felt a little different but the change wasn't too noticeable. It wasn't until I spent a full year in Australia in 2018 and then solo travelled for 3 months consecutively before returning to Canada that I noticed a huge shift. [...]
