A Week in Nashville | USA
The next few stops of my USA trip were all about exploring the legacy of American music in cities that birthed or nurtured new genres. Although I don’t listen to that much country music (but I don’t mind it), there’s…
Weekend in Savannah, GA | USA
In all my research of where I wanted to go on my USA trip, Charleston and Savannah seemed to go hand-in-hand. I struggled to choose just one to visit, but since they are only two hours apart by train, I…
Highlights of Charleston, SC | USA
The next couple of weeks of my USA trip would be spent exploring the American South, including taking on its brutal summer humidity. There are a lot of iconic cities in this part of the country, with some deep history…
The Ballantyne Hotel, Charlotte | USA
When I was younger, I played that game where you Google your own name and see what comes up. In my case, the answer was The Ballantyne Hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina. Yes, a whole hotel that shares my name!…

Weekend in Boston | USA
Ok, technically a long weekend in Boston then. After the Canadian leg of my trip finished, travelling west to east, I flew from Toronto to Boston to begin my American leg heading westwards again. My parents flew home, so I…
A Week in Ontario | Canada
How much can you fit into a week in Ontario? A surprising amount actually! To be fair, technically me and my parents were there for 10 days, but when you remove the time I spent working, it may as well…
Weekend in Quebec City | Canada
Quebec is both a city and a province, and I did have to get my mum to clarify a dozen times in conversations which one she was referring to when saying just “Quebec”. From Montreal, we continued the French-Canadian leg…
Highlights of Montreal | Canada
After our adventures through the Canadian Rockies, culminating in the Calgary Stampede, it was time to head east. We hopped on a flight from Calgary to Montreal, the largest city in the French-speaking province of Quebec. We definitely noticed that…
