If you’re travelling in New South Wales in Australia, make sure you add a trip to the Hunter Valley near Sydney to your New South Wales itinerary. Hunter Valley food and wine are famous in the area and I can confirm it’s delicious. Think wines, cheeses, cured meats, chocolate…aka everything you need for a tasty…
Did you know Australia had mountains? The Blue Mountains on Australia’s East Coast surprised me but they’re beautiful! While Australia might be better known for the hills and cliffs in the Northern Territories and The Outback these East Coast mountains are worth exploring too. Sure, they’re not huge like in the Canadian Rockies, but they’re…
If there’s one thing you have to do when visiting Sydney, it’s the Coogee to Bondi Beach walk. The walk is more commonly known as the Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach walk, but personally, I think doing it the other way if you’re new to the city is better as you get the big reveal…
When I lived in London, my weekdays were spent planning how to get out of London. It wasn’t that I didn’t like London (although admittedly a lot less than I like Vancouver). It’s just after 5 days commuting on the tube, living in noisy Brixton and being surrounded by London’s pretty toxic air, I needed…

On a trip to the Dordogne Valley, I flew in and out of Brive from London. We spent a bit of time exploring this pretty, small town and despite the fact that it’s not well known, it has quite a lot to offer visitors. I spent a couple of days being guided around Brive, exploring…
Before my trip to South America I’d have told you I had no interest whatsoever in fishing. Who wants to sit at the bank of a river all day, come rain or shine, waiting and waiting for something, anything, to bite your line? Not me that’s for sure. I’d rather be out doing something. It’s fair…
I spent a few months travelling in Brazil as part of my three-month South American adventure with my now husband. At the time, Brazil was getting a pretty bad rep. Whenever we told people that we went to Brazil during the World Cup, everyone inevitably asked “Was it safe?” And while we were perfectly safe…
