3 Day Trip to Philadelphia | USA
Look, I’m going to be honest. The bulk of my knowledge about the American Revolution comes from Hamilton. Although, I definitely learned a bit more in Boston since a lot of the revolution took place there! But Philadelphia is famous…
A Week in New York | USA
Time for the Big Apple! There was no way my cross-country USA trip wouldn’t include New York City. I’ve never been before, but it’s so iconic and been used for so many films and TV shows, I felt like I…
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

Jasper National Park | Canadian Rockies
Once we had seen our share of waterfalls in Wells Gray, our journey continued west across Canada and into Alberta. Our destination: the Canadian Rockies, the spectacular mountain range that straddles the province from north to south, dotted with rivers…
Wells Gray Provincial Park | Canada
After my week in Whistler, our next big destination was the Canadian Rockies. But getting there from the West Coast of BC either means flying to Calgary or breaking up the drive. We opted for the latter to enjoy the…
