Read MoreThe Best Things to do in Tallinn: The Fairytale Capital of Estonia
Estonia was on my radar for years before I actually travelled there. Which seems a little bit odd. After all, it’s not considered to be one of the big or popular European cities for tourists. However, my uncle was in the Canadian Navy and it was his favourite port. He told me it looked like…

The capital of Austria is a stunning city and one that I clearly love to explore since I’ve now been four times. While I definitely recommend more than one day in the city, sometimes you’re on a time crunch. I’ve had two incidents where I’ve only had 1 day in Vienna; once I used it…
Read MoreThe Best of Monaco in 1 Day
When I think of Monaco a few things come to mind; the iconic Monte Carlo casino, yachts, James Bond, the Grand Prix and pretty much anything else that screams bucket loads of money. The type of money I will never, even in my wildest dreams, come close to owning. But just because I could never…
Read MoreFall in Love with Solo Travel in Paris
Paris is known as a romantic destination for couples but it’s actually one of my favourite cities for solo travel. In fairness, I didn’t expect to love Paris. I actually only went for the first time in 2011 because I heard of the Christmas Markets but it didn’t take long for me to fall in love…

But, the longer I spent in French Polynesia the more I fell in love. And…

The first time I saw mantas was in Indonesia. I was in Komodo National Park when a black manta, also known as a ninja manta, swooped overhead. It was love at first sight. Mantas quickly became my favourite animal and I got as excited as a child at Christmas every time I saw one which…
