While many parts of the world are starting to get back to normal, Canada is remaining conservative when it comes to lifting travel restrictions. As such, I’ve been continuing my quest to find as many great “staycation” spots as I can in the area—after all, no matter where you live, you likely don’t need to stray too far from home to find a relaxing escape from everyday life. I recently indulged in a perfect stay at the Delta Hotels by Marriott in my hometown, Kamloops, a beautiful l[...]

I’m certainly no stranger to traveling through the clouds, but up until recently this has only been via jet. Most of us have been searching for new ways to explore the great outdoors since 2020, and while I’ve had the opportunity to see so many beautiful landscapes during this time, I can honestly say that none have been quite as spectacular as my most recent trip to the Golden Skybridge. Tucked away in the Canadian Rockies in the town of Golden, the most breathtaking new attraction j[...]
I’ve spent the last several years of my life perfecting my list of carry-on essentials down to a T, but now that most of us (including myself) are opting for trips that are driving-distance in lieu of hopping on a plane, I decided it’s time to update my list of necessities. While traveling by car still somewhat limits how much you can pack, you can also have some items handy that you normally cannot bring right onto the plane with you (such as a full arsenal of skin care!) Check out my list[...]
I have recently found myself exploring phones that will give me the best possible photos for my blog and Instagram feed. It’s not always feasible to have my camera with me, and I need to be able to capture the highest quality photos with me on the go—something that I haven’t always felt I was quite able to achieve with my older iPhone. All the photos in this post have been shot on my Huawei P40 Pro besides the ones of the phone itself. The Huawei P40 Pro is one of the newest phones[...]
I’ve visited many beautiful national parks throughout Canada and other countries during my travels—I love incorporating days into my trips for hiking, enjoying nature, and of course, taking photos in front of breathtaking backdrops. I’ve had a desire to visit Banff, AB, for a while. I can’t believe it’s a residential town where people actually live in Banff National Park. Can you imagine waking up every morning to picture-perfect mountain views and endless trails and lakes to explore,[...]
Before the rise of social media opened my world to a whole new method of discovering amazing places to stay, I equated a “trip to the mountains” exclusively with skiing or extremely rustic experiences—neither of which are quite my style. After spending many years living in Toronto and exploring other major cities, my curiosity for more serene locations has certainly peaked. The Malcolm Hotel in Canmore, Alberta, is the area’s first luxury hotel located in the heart of the Alberta[...]
The first half of 2020 was certainly a tough time for the travel industry and travel enthusiasts alike. While there continue to be some challenges and restrictions in place, I couldn’t wait to plan my first trip for when things slowly began to reopen and feel safe again. I knew I was going to want to choose somewhere relatively close by that would offer the same type of cultural, dining, and adventure experiences I look for in all of my trips, but that it also needed to be somewhere with many[...]
