I have fun planning spontaneous dates around the world (at least when we travel). On some occasions (if not all) these are dates of places or things that I really want to do but won't tell the husband so he can't really say no. You see what I did there, haha. ;) Since the day we ...
From India with Love 1: The Beginning of Our Delhi Adventures
It is still so surreal to be in India. To witness beautiful colours, visit dreamy sites, eat delicious food, interact with the kindest people and bargain my way to get a deal off the many bangles I now own. ;) I arrived last Friday, excited to be here with my husband, re-live some of his stories ...
New Delhi Adventure
I wrote this post at Ottawa’s International Airport, overwhelmed with joy and gratitude that I finally get to join my husband on his work trip to India, for his last remaining four weeks and after two weeks of being apart. We survived - thankful to social media that keeps us connected with your loved ones ...
Wedding Series: Top Ten Pieces of Advice We Received on Marriage
I can't believe it's already been a year since we tied the knot. On July 22nd, we completed our first full circle around the sun and what an incredible journey it's been. Before marriage we were told that the first two years of marriage are hard, I was (at times) nervous about this, but other ...
Why You Shouldn’t Skip Athens While in Greece
This might not be the first post that you'll see out there about why you shouldn't skip Athens and I really (wholeheartedly) wanted to also contribute to that message. Our first Greek adventure started in Athens and with no expectations, I fell in love with this city! Rolling through Athens streets, we witnessed a mix ...
Chasing Romantic Sunsets in Greece
We witnessed many beautiful (planned and unplanned) sunsets during our Greek vacation. Here I wanted to share them with you in hopes that they inspire you to plan your next seaside vacation. :) My husband Peter always manages to plan surprise dates back in Ottawa and almost all my attempts at doing so have failed haha. ...
Finding My Greek Island Oasis
Our Greek adventures have so far been more than magnificent. Every so often we stop during our stroll, meal, sunset, swim and before we go to sleep say our thanks for having this incredible opportunity to travel, discover and create memories together. There are so many moments that are overwhelmingly beautiful that you want to hold ...
Guest Post: How to Survive Low-Cost Airline Travel
In North America and Europe, long gone is the golden era of airline travel. Gone even are the jubilant flying times of the 1980s and 90s when passengers collectively and sincerely applauded at the landing of every flight. We are in the democratized era of flying - the greyhoundization of travelling above the clouds. The development ...
Back in Brussels
Such sweet returns! Brussels is a place so near and dear to both my husband and I. We came here a few years ago to complete our Masters degrees and by the end of our studies our friendship turned into something more that we're so grateful for. We often (unintentionally) find flights that go through Brussels ...
The Highlight of Spring: Tulip Festival
We've all waited for days and perhaps months for the winter to finally say its goodbyes and when we finally thought it was over, it dumped us with another snowfall. We couldn't wait to ditch our winter boots and coats. One way I counted down the end of winter was by anticipating the bloom of tulips. ...
