VANCOUVER ISLAND | PLANES AND WHALES | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

That's right. Canadian Road Trip TWENTY SIXTEEN. Sorry to have ever so slightly dropped off the edge of the earth. Sadly I don't have any kind of wilderness survival story that stopped me from writing; I haven't trekked through the Himalayas or canoed down the Amazon. Instead, I got a new job. A job where I … Continue reading VANCOUVER ISLAND | PLANES AND WHALES | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

3 BORDER CROSSINGS, 2 DOLLARS AND 1 RAINBOW | DEARBORN TO TORONTO | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

After a morning of Ford filled fun, we continued our travels eastward, to Niagara Falls, ready to drop the car back and then get ourselves to Toronto. Not the most chilled of days, in fact my co-ordination skills were being put to the test, especially seeing as the car had to be dropped back to … Continue reading 3 BORDER CROSSINGS, 2 DOLLARS AND 1 RAINBOW | DEARBORN TO TORONTO | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

PLANES, TRAINS AND… GAMEBOYS? | HENRY FORD MUSEUM | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

Boosted by an adequate amount of sleep in our motel beds, we began our journey from Canton to Dearborn with a cup of Bigby’s Tea  in hand and excitement for visiting the museum we’d heard such amazing things about; The Henry Ford Museum.   If you haven’t heard of it, let me correct this right … Continue reading PLANES, TRAINS AND… GAMEBOYS? | HENRY FORD MUSEUM | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

A DOMESTIC ADVENTURE | CHICAGO TO CANTON | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

This by far was the oddest day of our trip.  The four of us woke up in The Whitehall Hotel in Chicago, grabbed brunch from a little place around the corner, Sunny Side Up, where the portions were massive and I had the best chai tea latte I have ever experienced (which is a mean feat). … Continue reading A DOMESTIC ADVENTURE | CHICAGO TO CANTON | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

BLUE SKIES, BASEBALL AND THE BEAN | CHICAGO | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

After our beautiful morning of food, glorious food, we were left to our own devices in the Windy City.

Sadly, not every plan comes to fruition in the way you hope... https://www.instagram.com/p/BGCR4SMPgrA/?taken-by=nai_192 We ended the … Continue reading BLUE SKIES, BASEBALL AND THE BEAN | CHICAGO | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

It'd mean a lot … Continue reading FOAMHENGE | GREAT SMOKIES | VLOG | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

THE FIRST LINCOLN MEMORIAL | THE RUSSIAN DOLL OF ATTRACTIONS | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

Roadside attractions played a big role in our lust for road-tripping the US of A; at this point, we had already hit up Dinosaur Land and Foamhenge. Neither disappointed.   I didn’t have quite the same faith in the next one, but I was willing to be pleasantly surprised… Abraham Lincoln’s Birthplace. (Not quite an … Continue reading THE FIRST LINCOLN MEMORIAL | THE RUSSIAN DOLL OF ATTRACTIONS | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
