Last week I was invited to the Media Preview for Hotel X Toronto by the Library Hotel Collection. For those of you that don't know, Hotel X Toronto is the newest and hottest hotel in Toronto right now. The doors to Hotel X Toronto will officially open next month and I am certain you will fall in love with it just as much as I did. The word hotel does not do Hotel X Toronto justice as it is more of an urban resort. To give you an idea, Hotel X Toronto is a unique 30 storey lakefront proper[...]
Sometimes it is important to treat yourself to a pick me up. Luckily, REVIV Las Vegas offered me just that. When I went to Vegas, it was a busy trip with lots of long days and fun nights, which included a great deal of cocktails. I was feeling a bit burnt out near the end of the trip and noticed my energy levels were dropping. REVIV Las Vegas situated inside The Palazzo, provided me with a complimentary treatment to give me the boost that I needed. Although I was treated to a complimentary s[...]
I recently had the pleasure of shooting the Just Sultan Holiday Gift Guide at the Omni King Edward Hotel. The hotel graciously offered me a mini staycation as it was going to be a very long day. It ended up taking my team 12 hours of shooting time alone. Luckily, I had a beautiful suite to myself at the end of the day. Built in 1903, the Omni King Edward is Toronto’s very first luxury hotel. It has long been the first choice of Toronto’s elite, as well as political figures and busines[...]
If you plan a trip to Vegas, add Seven Magic Mountains to your list. This is an excellent activity if you find yourself looking to get off the strip for a bit to try something different. If you are into Art, then this is a must. You will either need a car or you can Uber there. From the Las Vegas Strip, it is about a 25-30 minute drive, and the Uber will cost about 30 dollars each way. Seven Magic Mountains is basically a large scale public art installation along the interstate 15. I’m[...]
I recently visited Ottawa in collaboration with Tourism Ottawa. I must say that Ottawa is quite under-rated. Many people don't think of Ottawa as a weekend trip from Toronto but I think it's an excellent option. Ottawa offers a strong arts and culture scene. Foodies will be delighted at the number of options available throughout the city. You are submersed in history and there's a photo to snap at every corner in downtown Ottawa and Parliament Hill. Here are my picks when you're planning you[...]

I recently planned a quick trip to Brussels to visit my best friend who I hadn't seen for about three years. I only had about 36 hours to spare and found that it was almost enough. You won't need to spend more than 2 days to get a feel for the city. I find Brussels to be an excellent stopover if you are travelling between Paris and Amsterdam. Brussels is a cosmopolitan city with lots of character and it is also the home of the European Union. With the help of my best friend I was able to s[...]
