Disneyland California
The original Disneyland in California turns 100 years old in 2023, so what perfect timing for my trip there! I’m spending 3 weeks in California, so there will be many more posts from the trip to come. On one of…
3 Day Trip to Seattle, Washington
It’s only been a few weeks since I went to Portland, but here I am crossing the Canada-US border again! A while back, I realised my birthday landed on a Saturday this year. So, what better way to celebrate than…

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…
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…
