I’m genuinely in deep lust with Canada! In fact, I’d go as far as saying I have a love affair with Canada.

Wandering around downtown Vancouver and falling in lust with Canada more and … Continue Reading

We had such grand plans for lunch in Calgary. We had recommendations from Instagram, we had locals recommend stuff to us and even did some research in advance.

One our first morning in Edmonton (we arrived the evening before), I somehow managed to escape the jetlag entirely and woke up thoroughly refreshed and very eager to explore the city!

I’m such a huge fan of embracing the seasons. In summer-time, I want to spend every possible moment soaking up the sunshine outdoors. In autumn, I want to marvel at the dramatic change in nature as the leaves turn from what is almost ‘uniform green’ to all the many beautiful hues from reds to oranges. … Continue Reading
In retrospect, we really should have visited Edmonton a lot sooner. Lloyd has a friend who lives in the city and my cousin (like the ones you spend your childhood rolling in the mud with – not the kind you’re surprised to find out is actually your cousin), lives in Edmonton.

After our full day exploring Calgary (and eating our way through it), it was finally time to bid the city farewell and head out into the Canadian Rocky Mountains of Alberta.

Thoroughly impressed by the Ice Castles of Edmonton, we made our way back to town grab some well-earned lunch at an old school Mexican restaurant called Rostizado.
