Back when we should have known
It seems like forever ago. I was working in tourism and was slightly overwhelmed with my travel schedule, only being home about 50% of the time. How times have changed… Since my brilliant 6 weeks in Portugal I haven’t even visited another city! It’s been one year and almost 2…
A girls day out
Because I travel, I meet so many people. Most of the time it means I have a great time, say goodbye and never see those people again. But sometimes, very rarely, I get to see them again. And it’s so much fun! In September I ended up going to Toronto…

Brandywine falls without a car
Instead of taking the Sea to Sky highway, you can consider walking on the Sea to Sky trail. The trail heads up north from Squamish for 180km! If you don’t feel up to tackling the whole thing, you can always try a part of it. Since I don’t have any…
Weekly Photo Challenge: H2O
H2O has inspired many artists. For this challenge I decided to show you a different interpretation of water. I’ve got many beautiful photos of waves, waterfalls and serene lakes. This is not nature at its best though, but rather a human perspective of water. I found this little piece on…

Autumn is here and while the rain may not look too inviting to get out there and explore, it can be very rewarding to do it anyway. There is just something about this season. It is unpredictable. It can be stormy. The wind blows all the colored leaves around. You…
From fall into winter
Fall has arrived. I don’t know how I missed it. We’ve definitely had some fall weather, but the last week was a little reminder of summer, with temperatures into the twenties. Today was the end of that. The clouds had moved in, although the rain waited until later in the…
Harmony lake
Suddenly it’s the end of August and I find myself wondering where the month has gone. I feel like time goes faster than ever. In another month the mountain closes for its winter preparations, so I need to make sure I go up there as much as I can. It’s…
High up, high down
The High Note trail is probably my favourite hike on Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. It’s meant to take 3 to 4 hours and takes you all the way to the back of Whistler mountain, with gorgeous views over Cheakamus lake. It takes a while to get to the start, going…
Travel theme: weather
Vancouver is known to be a rainy city. When I first arrrived in Canada, now nearly a year ago, it seemed like Vancouver was living up to its image every time I visited. It didn’t stop me from exploring though. I walked along the harbour towards Stanley park. The fog…
