Capilano River Park Hike | Vancouver

Winter in Vancouver is very rainy and grey, a fact I've come to accept. So when the sun came out on weekday off work, it was time to make the most of it. A lot of the higher altitude hikes are covered in snow at this time of year, but…

Lighthouse Park Hike | Vancouver

What better way to spend a sunny autumn Saturday than on a coastal forest hike? The temperature has dropped massively in Vancouver since I arrived last month, and many days are grey or rainy. We even had snow the other day! So when the sun is shining (and I'm off…

Lynn Canyon Hike | Vancouver

One of the reasons I chose British Columbia over Canada's other provinces for my working holiday (at least to start with) is the abundance of hiking opportunities. Although, arriving in autumn means I'll save a lot of them until spring and summer next year. However, I'm trying to squeeze in…

A Weekend Trip to Toronto

I was very lucky to get a job pretty quickly when I landed in Canada back in October. Luckier still that as soon as I got the job, I was offered the chance of a weekend trip to Toronto. While my role is remote, the company does have a Canadian…

Isle of Arran Day Trip | Scotland

The Isle of Arran sits just off the west coast of Scotland, tucked into the Firth of Clyde. A friend and I took a weekend trip to the island, and nearby Ayrshire recently. This is, therefore, the first of two posts about the whole trip! Initially we had planned to…

Valèncian Region | Spain

After spending the first half of my week in València exploring the city itself, we'd exhausted the sights there. So, for my last three days, over the weekend, we embarked on a few short day trips to other towns and areas in the surrounding Valèncian region (both the city and…
