Many months into the cold, rainy winter that is this year, I find myself deeply reminiscent of the sun, the sand, the heat. And also guacamole.

A Day of Relaxation at the Nordik Spa
I am a strong believer of travel balance. What I mean is, for every great adventure you brave, a moment of relaxation is earned.

Hong Kong’s Giant Buddha!
Hong Kong is a pretty cool place. It was also the place I first heard about COVID. I remember waking up in my hotel room, reading the article and thinking, “huh, that’s weird” HA. Had. I. Known. Anyway, to happier reading. The statue stands tall at 34m high and was cast with 250 tonnes of Read More

“Imagine walking into your grandma’s country cottage on a sunny day to see her counter full of baked goods, all made fresh just for you.” If I say vineyard, you say what? France? Italy? USA?

Is Stonehenge Worth It?
On my last trip to England, Shaun and I extensively debated if Stonehenge was worth a visit. The rocks sit just off the A303 and can be seen fairly well from the road. So why pay £21.50 per person? PROS: The place itself is a World Heritage Site, if that matters to you. There are Read More
A Weekend in the Cotswolds
Imagine you’re watching a movie. The opening credits roll and the camera pans over a vast landscape of green, as far as the eye can see. Rolling hills dotted with sheep turn into car width narrow lanes that turn into cobblestone cottages adorned in vines. The camera then pans through a small crooked window in Read More
Oh, The Places You Will Go – 82 Cities In 100 Days
If there is something I have learnt in the last year, it is that humans are very capable of adapting to any residential situation. I’ve lived in a big house and a tiny apartment. I’ve lived on a ship, in the middle of the ocean, where doors constantly swung open by themselves, responding to the Read More
