I love a good sunset as much as the next person. I’ve also seen some incredible sunsets, both in my hometown, and in many countries around the world. Last summer, I spent 6 weeks in East and South Africa. I saw incredible wild animals, relaxed on pristine beaches, and discovered some excellent new wine. I also […]

How to travel solo within a group tour
While I obviously love travelling solo, sometimes, travelling with a group tour just makes sense. Whether it’s for safety reasons, or it’s actually cheaper there is absolutely a time, and place for joining a tour group. (Shout-out to all those lovely tour companies that set you up with a roommate. This saves you the single supplement…unless you […]
Dubai: the stopover city that is anything but.
Chances are pretty good that, if you’re flying in and across Europe to Asia or Africa, you’ll probably fly on a middle eastern airline. Emirates or Qatar airlines are quickly emerging as top airlines with excellent ratings in safety, service, and quality. If you find yourself on these airlines, you’ll probably have to have a stopover […]
Desert Safari in Dubai
If you’re considering a trip to Dubai, or the UAE in general…or really, any desert-having country (Egypt and Jordan come to mind)…you’re probably considering a desert safari or excursion. For those of us who don’t live close to a desert, they can be really quite amazing. Seeing vast, ever-changing sandy landscapes, getting to ride on […]
You are a Real Traveller if…
I got annoyed by a travel video on Facebook the other day. It showed a young woman dashing her way across Europe, visiting 10 countries in 15 days. It made my head (and heart) ache. The caption in the video said something along the lines of ‘my REAL backpacking trip’ and the gist of it […]
Why Zanzibar Should Be The Beach Destination You Check Out
It’s winter in Canada, which means the cold weather is making anyone with the time, and the extra cash, take a really good look at cheap beach/hot weather destinations. Getting out the the cold is, (to some), as much a national pastime as hockey (whoops…did I say that out loud!?) There are pretty much unlimited […]
13 Photos To Convince You To Travel To East-Africa
Not everyone in Africa is poor, not every city is covered in dust (though you will be, if your adventure includes a Serengeti Safari). There are as many stereotypes about travel in Africa as there are dialects of languages on the continent. (FYI: it’s a lot…) But before I spent seven weeks exploring the continent, […]
How to Visit the Giraffe Manor Giraffes on a Budget
I’m sure you’ve seen the amazing videos on social media of Giraffe Manor. The most well-recognized probably of the beautiful Rothschild giraffes peeking their heads through the second-story windows as guests eat their breakfast. If you love giraffes as much as I do, you’ve probably been tempted to book a stay. However, one look at […]
Battling the Post-Trip Blues
If you’ve ever come home from a trip and have come home only to feel a little restless and listless, you are not alone. Sure, you come home and are excited to get back into routine. You get together with friends and try to answer the impossible question ‘what was your favourite part?’, without going […]
