Back in 2011 (years before I started this blog!) I visited Australia for the first time and spent a month going up the east coast from Sydney to Cairns with one of my best friends from university. Brisbane was one of the cities I remember the most (apart from Sydney!). Brisbane is a fun city…
Summer is just around the corner, and for many adventure-seekers, kayaking is one of the best ways to spend a sunny day in Vancouver. Living on the Canadian west coast, we’re fortunate to have an abundance of places to kayak in Vancouver. There are rivers and streams to islands and coastlines. With so many options,…
If you’re planning to travel and live in a camper van and sleep for free then you can make it a whole lot easier by making your camper van stealthy. Our Elvis the van is pretty stealthy and I’d credit that to us being able to sleep for free every single night while we travelled across…
The small island of Bowen Island British Columbia is the ideal getaway for a day or a weekend from downtown Vancouver. Even though Vancouver is a very green city complete with beaches and a massive park (Stanley Park), every now and again it’s nice to escape this and find somewhere even greener. In those times…
Over the course of our three months travelling across the USA we never paid for a campsite. Every night we found somewhere to sleep for free in our van. It’s not that hard to do the same when you know what to look out for. The longer you’re living in a van, the easier it…
I can hear the rain on the roof of my cottage in the forest. It really is making that pitter-patter sound. The fire is whirring away (not crackling because it’s electric). A deer walked straight past my window earlier and didn’t bat an eyelid. A delicious breakfast complete with my own cafetière was brought to…
Whether you’re a travel blogger or not chances are you take a hell of a lot of photos when you travel. If you’re planning a trip to Vancouver and want to grab some great photos of this beautiful city then check out this list of the most instagrammable places in Vancouver! It’s no secret I love…
A Big Sur road trip is one of my top recommendations for must-visit places on a West Coast road trip itinerary. The beautiful coastline complete with waterfalls cascading onto beaches, beautiful flowers, deserted sands, and forests is sure to impress you as you drive this gorgeous stretch of road. We drove this highway in 2017…
There’s just something about the Pacific Northwest (that’s the PNW!). As soon as we headed north out of San Francisco and reached the northern Californian coast, everything felt different. The whole place was more relaxed, leafier (and yes, a little wetter). If Portland was one of my favourite cities of our whole three-month USA road…
If you’ve successfully applied for a Canadian Working Holiday Visa and are about to head over to Canada, congratulations! It’s an exciting (and nerve-wracking time!). I can’t believe that the day I’m writing this makes it a whole year since I moved out of my flat in Brixton and headed to the airport bound for…
