I know, you all need a good laugh, or is that just me? Apparently, little girls dream of their wedding dress, no, well at least that is what I have been told, it just wasn’t me. Weddings bring the...
I often think about the line in The Way “You don’t choose a life, you live it” as the perfect description of taking a journey to self discovery and truly embracing the life of an entrepreneur. Like...
So, you have decided to visit Canada in the middle of winter, fantastic, you won’t regret it! Sledding, skiing, skating, snowshoeing, ice hotels, and everything in between, Canada is a fun place to...
Have you ever been to Portugal? I haven’t, but would love to travel with my toddler there. Upon researching self catered, and child friendly locations, I discovered this CasasNaAreia this is part...
This winter has been full of monster storms, and incredible amounts of snow. So, for those who have never experienced a snow storm, I thought that I would document one. This was one 2 weeks ago, it...
A long time ago I was forced to endure a road trip of all road trips. My parents had this crazy idea to drive from Mexico City, to Ottawa, Canada - yup, dumb yes, did it happen, yes. I live …...
A little while ago, I wrote a post about the most amazing diaper bag (check it out here), actually that should be a correction, it is a beautiful bag that happens to be practical enough to lug...
You know you are guilty of this too, those sparkly t-shirts, the bags with “I heart Paris”, that you will never use. Purchases that scream “I am a tourist” and I was here. I am not sure what the...
I am not one to shower a hotel with amazing reviews. Over the years, I have found a hotel serves its purpose, but doesn’t usually leave me with a lasting impression. Travelling with a dog and a...
It has been a while, I keep on trying to book some time to write, but never seem to find it. Going from Diplomat to Entrepreneur has brought many culture shocks of its own, and yes, you can have a...
Last night I took a journey to Mongolia through a film, not just any film, a documentary, The Horse Boy. It is a few years old, but the story is still very relevant. It is a story about love,...
Today, we are talking to Susan Whitehead, owner and editor extraordinaire of the Real Family Travel magazine. If you haven’t checked out the magazine, you should! Susan’s story intrigued me from...
6 weeks ago, my husband and I watched an insane documentary about food, and what we put into our bodies. We were struck by one statement, how we, as humans eat “food like products not food anymore”...
Yeah, I have had many ridiculous trips, but this one, clearly left a horrible imprint in my brain, which I have attempted to scrub out, no such luck. It all started a fateful Christmas, in which I...
Today we are talking to Erin from Travel with Bender - she also contributed on a Top 10 of Bangkok. I have been following them on their journey for a while, and have been fascinated by their story....
Yesterday, I was reading the Globe and Mail and stumbled on this article “Airline introduces kid free ‘Quiet Zone”. I had to read it a couple of times to digest it, at first, I wasn’t angry, I was...
These pictures have been sitting and waiting to be shared for a while. Old Montreal is spectacular under a blanket a white and Christmas lights. Although beautiful, not stroller friendly. We put...
Who doesn’t love Paris, between the food, the art, the architecture, the wonderful people watching, it is a city that entertains every minute of the day, rain or shine. I feel lucky enough to have...
A few weeks ago, I received a rather interesting offer to enter a competition A Grand Adventure – through Money SuperMarket! For more info, go to their site. The competition is really anywhere in...
Culture shock and its companion, reverse culture shock are something, surprisingly, not discussed and almost taboo topics to discuss openly in many circles, especially the Diplomatic corps. You...
This time of year always reminds me of my 16-year-old self heading into a culture shock experience head on. We had moved to Venezuela, and our class was taking a 3 day extravaganza to Margarita...
Oh goodness, we have been here for a year, and it has taken us this long to find things around Montreal. Montreal is pretty eclectic, and there are some really fantastic areas to discover that...
I am not from Toronto, but seem to end up in the city for business all the time. There are few issues I have with the city, it is awesome, but sometimes a pain in the neck getting from one place to...
I watch many friends fret over furniture, buying a house and whatnot. When we mention we will be travelling, we get the same old response “oh, must be nice, I wish I could, but we can’t afford it.”...
My little furry trouble maker. She came into our lives by accident, we were supposed to get a boxer, instead, our mini schnauzer found us, tattered, soiled with urine and poop. We had watched the...
Happy Holidays! As you all know from my last post, Christmas is a rather big deal in our house, and our quest to find a National Lampoon’s house was on. Since we have been hit with one storm after...
Growing up, we never had a real tree, not like there that many pine trees where I grew up. When my parents first married, they went off to Africa, my Great Aunt and Uncle gave them a crazy looking...
As I sat eating dinner with my son, with our Christmas tree in the background, I couldn’t help but feel heavy. So much has happened, in such a short period of time. It is a rare moment that I can...
San Diego is an incredible city to visit. Since we were living in Vancouver, we had to do the whole West Coast. San Diego was a must see and experience. Since our son was 6 months, he was...
To some of my friends, I apologize for declaring this. I love zoo’s, lets not argue about them, all I know is that I have learned a great deal from them, as well as National Geographic – not sure...
