It is Saturday, May 19th, 2018 - Prince Harry marries Meghan Markle at St. Geroge Chapel. Ladies, I don't know about you but I have been glued on our couch here (with no intention of doing so) and watched and rewatched the recap of their wedding ceremony :D . Loved everything about their nuptials. The ...
Before going to Brussels to study, I had posted a message on the University's group page to scout possible future Canadian friends. That's how I found Sandy who went to Brussels one term before me and who I managed to meet once in Toronto before our endeavor abroad. Little did we know that we would take on ...
Once upon a time, traditional wedding invitations were produced individually (sometimes engraved and pressed on a fancy paper) but these invites have evolved throughout the years. They no longer require so much detail (texture and type of paper/ink used - though it is still nice to get an engraved fancy invite in the mail but that ...
“The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.” Henry David Thoreau We all talk about it and we all want to do it, yet life comes in the way and we just don't get to it. When I went abroad to do my Masters I ...

“Journeys are the midwives of thought. Few places are more conducive to internal conversations than a moving plane, ship or train. There is an almost quaint correlation between what is in front of our eyes and the thoughts we are able to have in our heads: large thoughts at times requiring large views, new thoughts ...
I always knew that weddings are made up of sacred traditions, bringing two people to become one and joining in celebration with their loved ones. Yet planning a wedding can be very challenging in many ways! Whether it's about finances / budget, theme & decoration, venue, number of guests, entertainment and so on. Despite the ...
This last weekend I visited Toronto to see family and catch up with my girlfriends who went through some life-changing events - so a celebratory reunion was due! The weather temperature is usually a bit warmer in Toronto than it is in Ottawa so I was happy to wear lighter layers. My cousin and I bought ...
While I was finishing my Master's degree in Brussels, I lived and shared a home with international roommates. In the summer of 2014, my roommate from Germany finished her internship and was headed back to Berlin. It didn't take her long to convince me to visit that summer. I packed my backpack and flew to Berlin! ...
