My oh my! It has been a while! When my family came to visit me in Europe, they started their trip in the UK. We went to visit the beautiful Cotswolds and were very lucky that it was a nice sunny day. On a small stop on our day trip from London, we stopped in […]
July is full of traveling! I have so many visitors this month, so it’s a mix of traveling and touring around UK. This is what my travel schedule is looking like: Early July – Scotland: Whisky tours, Edinburgh, Inverness, Glasgow Mid July – Italy/Switzerland: Bologna, Cinque Terre, Milan, Interlaken, Geneva Late July – Greece: Athens, […]
Reflections on Costa Rica Really, really loved my trip there! “Pura vida” – pure life – one of the mottos of CR. People are very friendly and it’s known as one of the happiest places in the world. I was on the Pacific coast side (west), but I’ve heard great things about the Caribbean side. […]
Belfast is a very interesting city, the capital of Northern Ireland, a group of 6 counties on the island of Ireland, but a part of the United Kingdom. It’s a city affected by decades of “the Troubles” and a still present divide between nationalists and unionists, between Protestants and Catholics. We took a black cab […]
Ireland, what a lovely place! We took a day trip from Dublin on a rare sunny day and were able to go over the West coast of Ireland. These were part of the Cliffs of Moher. The O’brien Castle sits atop one of the cliffs. So breathtaking!
Today’s post is about the lovely world of airline miles! People often ask me about this so I decided it’d be a good idea to just blog about it! And, I haven’t been so busy, so decided to create this graphic! This post will be split up into a Q&A format… (1) Q: Why does […]
Paris, here we are! Lesson learned: If you get into Charles de Gaulle airport after 11pm…be ready to take a taxi into city centre! The last train left at 10:55, and the buses stop around then too. It took us lots of walking around the airport to figure this out, especially getting different information from […]
Helloooo from Marrakech, Morocco! Oh my, what a long 24 hours! Some updates…(I know, it’s been a while!) – it’s “spring break” for me right now as of last week. The reason spring break is in quotes is because we have 2 big term papers due at the end of it so I don’t think […]
From the first time I arrived in Paris years ago, it has remained as my favorite city in Europe. There’s just something about it. I finally returned in December 2011 after years of not visiting and while the weather wasn’t great (cold, windy and rainy), the city was just as lovely and I got quite […]
It’s been so wonderful living in Europe. For years, it’s been one of my favourite places to travel and it’s so much easier to travel around when I’m living here now! When will I get a chance to live in Europe again? So, I think it’s fitting for me to create a realistic list of […]
