Whistler, a few hours north of Vancouver, has become a pretty popular spot to visit in British Columbia…. and not just for the skiing. There are some many incredible and best things to do in Whistler that’s it’s actually hard to miss this gorgeous town. On our most recent trip to Vancouver, where we ate our … Continue Reading
We arrived in Vancouver in the most tired, sleepiest, jetlag-haze ever! (*Some of those may not be real words but you get my drift… 🙂 ) Here’s why – we started our journey almost 48 hours before in Nepal where we flew from Kathmandu to Abu Dhabi. We stayed in Abu Dhabi for a few … Continue Reading
After our brilliant morning cycling through Vancouver, we made our way over to Nightingale for lunch. Nightingale is one of the most recommended places by locals (pretty much everyone we asked or told kept telling us how good it was) and so we arrived with rather lofty expectations (and a growing rumble in our tummies). … Continue Reading
Day two in Vancouver! Technically, it’s day 3 but jet lag got the best of the very first day so Day 2 it is. Like I said, before, breakfast at the Shangri La Hotel in Vancouver is something of an event. It’s not something you rush – there’s no buffet – everything is made to … Continue Reading
Hawaii is one of those places where, to be honest, you’re probably not really struggling for reasons to want to visit. It just feels so familiar (you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn’t heard of it) yet so mysterious (think Jurassic Park) and intriguing, all at the same time. Thing is though, for Americans, with … Continue Reading
Alberta is one of Canada’s most gorgeous provinces that’s perfect for a winter or summer jaunt. And with so many beautiful things to do in Alberta, it’s an area you should definitely think of visiting as soon as possible. From the tiny little villages, stunning lakes, gorgeous cities to huge swathes of powdery snow – it’s … Continue Reading
The city of Edmonton in Canada is not necessarily the city everyone might have a ready-made travel plan and itinerary. Vancouver, perhaps or even Toronto but seeing as we had to get one together after visiting recently, and one that saw us make the most of the season we visited in, I figured it was … Continue Reading
Jasper, Canada is one of the biggest reasons to visit Canada in winter! This already spectacular park, and home to the Canadian Rockies totally transforms in winter to some almost fairytale-like winter wonderland. The lakes freeze over, waterfalls turn into magnificent ice sculptures and mountain roads turns into ski slopes! Not many places in the … Continue Reading
Embracing the snow, icicles and the chilly weather is something that’s amazing during a Canadian winter, especially within beautiful spots in Alberta. Now, if you’re anything like me you’ll be hankering to see some of this picturesque side of winter, with the Edmonton Ice Castle being one of the prettiest. I mean, there’s not too many … Continue Reading
When many people think of New York, they think of New York City. It’s often the first point that comes to mind and I have to admit I’m guilty of this too. Yup, It’s an incredible city and Lady Liberty is amazing to see, but there’s so much more to New York than New York … Continue Reading
Hawaii has to be one of the more unique of all the United States, am I right? After all, it’s the only island state in the whole of the country (well, so I was told). It’s a state that’s filled with some of the best scenery, gorgeous volcanic landscapes and epic vistas that are great … Continue Reading
One (of the many) things I love about the United States is how different it can be from one state to the next. It’s one of those countries where you can hop between states and places to see a totally different side to the country, which is actually a pretty great experience (did anyone say … Continue Reading
The USA is a diverse country. In fact, I’d go as far as saying it can be completely different depending on which state you visit. Form places like Hawaii, Washington and Florida – the expanse of places to explore is totally mind-boggling to me. Now, one place I always love returning to is the West … Continue Reading
It’s funny, after travelling around the United States on a road trip and other individual trips, I was a little worried that the things to do in Boston would seem quite ‘samey’ or ‘run-of-the-mill’ if you catch my drift? That’s not saying that every place in the United States is the same. Far from! But, … Continue Reading
