by Hannah Kacary Vancouver
St Mark's Summit has quickly become one of my favourite Vancouver hikes. In fact, I like it so much that I've done it twice in the space of just a few weeks. If it weren't for Panorama Ridge I might even say that it's one of the top BC hikes. The best things about the St Marks trail is that it's super close to downtown Vancouver. You get to the trailhead by heading up to ...

by Hannah Kacary Worldwide
When it comes to hiking, there’s one piece of equipment that can make or break your trip: hiking boots.

by Hannah Kacary Vancouver
Vancouverites love to cool down on the water in the summer. It's not surprising since the city is surrounded by it. And, even though I've heard a dozen times that the water in the city is super dirty, I can assure you it's far, far cleaner than The Thames and the beaches downtown pass water quality tests. If you're looking for a way to cool off in Vancouver (now that summer is finally here!!), here are ...

The ultimate car camping kitchen

ultimate camp kitchen
by Hannah Kacary Worldwide
When we were living in our van we kept our kitchen pretty small. I mean, Elvis was full of everything else we'd moved from the UK to Canada with, there wasn't much room for an extensive kitchen.

You'll find the basics we used in this ultimate car camping kitchen list, but you'll also find ...

We spent a couple of days getting to know Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay after our stay on a Uruguayan cowboy ranch. Arriving on a Sunday we found the city incredibly sleepy especially for a capital city, and in South America during the world cup! Were we in the right place? Perhaps it was just because we were comparing Montevideo to the last big city we’d be in: Rio de Janeiro and host city for ...
