5 Reasons to visit Halifax, Nova Scotia

While I was in Toronto this past January, my mum flew out and joined me. It was just before I was due to come back, so we decided to venture outside of Toronto and fly to Nova Scotia, somewhere I had heard a lot about and was desperate to get to before returning to the … Continue reading 5 Reasons to visit Halifax, Nova Scotia

My Favourite Bars in Toronto

I lived in Toronto for a little while, meaning I had the chance to try out a few different bars around the city. Ok, well mostly near me (Queen West). Of course, I am well aware that there are hundreds of bars in Toronto and I only had time to sample a selection of those, … Continue reading My Favourite Bars in Toronto

2018 TRAVEL HIGHLIGHTS

This year has been a bit of a mad one, what with moving to the other side of the world and all. As well as that, I somehow managed to fit in a bunch of other trips, so these are my highlights.  Video: https://youtu.be/bfJJgxSydP4   New York This was an absolute dream trip with my mum. … Continue reading 2018 TRAVEL HIGHLIGHTS

A FESTIVE WEEKEND IN QUEBEC CITY

On a bit of a whim, Hamilton and I recently booked a trip to Quebec City during Air Canada's flight sale. It was just for the weekend (flying out Saturday morning and leaving Sunday evening) and we were super excited for the trip to get us into the festive mood. It's an absolutely stunning place … Continue reading A FESTIVE WEEKEND IN QUEBEC CITY

A Casa Loma Christmas

Last weekend, Hamilton and I visited a pretty popular tourist attraction here in Toronto, which for some reason (that I can currently see) doesn't even make the top 30 list on Trip Advisor... Casa Loma. A wealthy man named Pellatt commissioned Casa Loma, which is a huge, historic house museum, built between 1911 and 1914. He … Continue reading A Casa Loma Christmas

VISITING TORONTO ISLAND | LIVING IN CANADA

On what has actually turned out to be the one of the cloudiest days of this month, we hopped on a ferry over to Toronto Island to explore. I'd been to Vancouver Island but never Toronto Islands and aside from knowing that they were in no way meant to be the same, knew nothing about … Continue reading VISITING TORONTO ISLAND | LIVING IN CANADA

BOSTON TO TORONTO| AUTUMN ROAD TRIP

The last post ended with us leaving Boston, on the way to our next stop - Old Orchard Beach. Why Old Orchard Beach? Well, as I mentioned previously, where we ended up staying was picked mostly on a cost basis. Meaning the lower the cost, the more likely it would be that we would stay … Continue reading BOSTON TO TORONTO| AUTUMN ROAD TRIP

TORONTO TO BOSTON | AUTUMN ROAD TRIP

A week after Hamilton and I moved to Toronto, we made the bold move to leave Toronto. Not because we didn't love it here (we did/still do) but there were bigger plans afoot for the week, an entire season, in fact... Autumn. AKA fall. Ok yeh it was a bit random but it made sense … Continue reading TORONTO TO BOSTON | AUTUMN ROAD TRIP

LAKE ONTARIO BIKE RIDE | LIVING IN TORONTO

During our first week here in Toronto, the weather was wild. Well, the weather was warm. Very warm. Which was pretty wild for us Brits. Coming from London, all people repeatedly said to us about moving to Canada was that it was going to be cold. I mentally prepared myself to step off the plane … Continue reading LAKE ONTARIO BIKE RIDE | LIVING IN TORONTO

GETTING OUR VISAS | MOVING TO TORONTO

So its now been 2 weeks (to the day) since we moved to Toronto - at the start of the second week, we went on a road trip around New England and we only just got back, so haven't had much of a chance to post about the whirlwind of an arrival/first week we had. … Continue reading GETTING OUR VISAS | MOVING TO TORONTO
