Florence, Italy

There’s something about Florence. Maybe it’s the wine, or the architecture, or all the beautiful, supple leather goods that can be seen through the windows as you walk the streets. It might be the fact that it’s the birthplace of the Renaissance, and is bursting with art, culture, and seemingly unchanged streets that make you…

Wvrst, a modern beer hall in Toronto

If you live in Toronto, and you haven’t been to Wvrst, change your plans one night in the coming week and visit ASAP. Wvrst is located on the very trendy King West strip, between Spadina Avenue and Bathurst Street on King Street. The restaurant describes itself best on their website… “a modern beer hall that specializes in…

Venice, Italy

Venice is located in the Northeastern area of Italy, and is built upon 118 small islands separated by canals and connected by bridges. It’s allure is contagious, and it’s architecture is stunning.

Maybe they dream they will waltz through the beautiful streets wearing a béret and eating a baguette, or picnicking by the Eiffel Tower,…

We arrived midday into Kings Cross Station, and proceeded directly to…

One day in the Scottish Highlands

You absolutely need more than one day to explore the Scottish highlands, but since our time in Scotland was limited, we made the most of the time that we had. The highlands were my favourite part of Scotland. We explored Edinburgh, and St Andrews, but nothing compared to the wild, magical beauty that encompassed the…

A Sunday in St Andrews, Scotland

While staying in Edinburgh, my husband and I wanted to take a couple of day trips outside of the city to experience more of Scotland. St Andrews is known widely as the birthplace of golf. It’s a golfers paradise, and it’s been a dream of my husband’s to experience the Old Course at St Andrews…
