The Best and Worst of 2022
After two years of minimal travel thanks to the coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns, I got back to travel life in a big way in 2022. The year started pretty rough with (yet another) long lockdown but when March hit I was quick to hop on a plane and get back to adventures. I spent nearly…

Read MoreMy Reality of Visiting Israel and Palestine as a Content Creator
My time in living in Tel Aviv was one of the best and yet also most difficult travel experiences of my life. As a creator, I shared a lot on social media of what was happening at the time but I feel like I needed to write about it too. Because as much as I…

Read MoreThe Best and Worst of 2021
I think it’s safe to say that after 2020 we all hoped 2021 would be better. In some ways, it was but for many of us, 2021 was still, well, a bit of a shit show. Once again, coronavirus played a huge role in our lives and despite the rollout of vaccines, things like travel…

There’s something magical about New York City at Christmas.

Read MoreI Was Body-Shamed in a Dive Shop: So I Challenged the Industry to Change
In August of 2017, I had the opportunity to visit BC and Alberta, Canada. Two Canadian provinces I had not yet set foot in. My best friend and her partner were living in Vancouver for school so when I found a cheap flight I jumped at the opportunity to explore western Canada with two of…
Read MoreThe Best and Worst of 2020
Every year I write a recap of the best and worst moments of the year. Typically, these are filled with funny travel fails, feel-good moments, and business and travel accomplishments. Usually, I love writing these posts as they are fun to reflect on but this year, my annual summary was a bit harder to…
Read MoreThe Best of Siem Reap in 3 Days
Motorbikes, cars, and trucks whizzed past me on the dusty roads as I sat in my Cambodian tuktuk on the way to my hostel. It was hot and sticky but the breeze kept me cool and my excitement at being in Cambodia distracted from the heat. I had dreamed of visiting the famous Angkor temples…
Read MoreWhy I’m Glad I Gave Israel a Second Chance
In November of 2018, I visited Israel for the first time. I was so excited to go yet I left feeling disappointed and convinced I would never return. So, what happened? Well, in this case, I feel like it was more of what didn’t happen. My first visit to Israel was with another blogger. I…
Read MoreTravelling During the COVID19 Pandemic: My Experience
As many of you know, I was supposed to spend the next 3.5 months travelling through Europe and the Middle East. I was to spend 2.5 weeks in Israel before heading to Turkey with my brother on a 15-day Intrepid Travel adventure. I then had a month to spare before I was going to Greece.…
Read MoreSolo Travel in Cyprus Gone Wrong
I had high hopes for solo travel in Cyprus. I really did. After spending almost an entire month in Greece earlier in 2019, I was so excited to get back to another Mediterranean Island that everyone told me had Greek vibes. My misadventures of solo travel in Cyprus started off well. I was picked up…
Read MoreHow Travel Allowed Me to Fall in Love With My Body
Over the past couple of years, the body-positive movement has really come forward. Social media is filled with cutesy, confidence-boosting posts. People, especially women, are working harder to become each other’s cheerleaders and society, in general, is become better (though still far from perfect) at celebrating thick thighs, hip dips, back rolls, and all other…
Read MoreYear End Review: The Best and Worst of 2019
It’s the end of a decade, and what a decade it’s been! Ten years ago I was 20 years old, in my third year of university, and I’d never even been on a plane. And yet, somehow, here I am at 30 having visited 60 countries and running my own business that allows me to…
Read MoreWhy I Keep Going Back to Ireland: An Argument for Revisiting Favourite Destinations

Read MoreMy Santorini Photoshoot with Localgrapher
Disclaimer: My Santorini Photoshoot was sponsored by Localgrapher “Are you Hannah?” I nodded and smiled nervously as I shook hands with Dimosthenis, my professional photographer for the next hour. Yes, that’s right. I had a photo shoot in Oia, Santorini. Which sounds incredibly extra and not like something I would normally do. I’m not the…
Read MoreSo, this is 30
Thirty, flirty, and thriving. I remember that quote from the movie 13 going on 30; the story of an awkward teenager who wishes to fast forward her life until she was 30. Then, at 30, she becomes this beautiful successful woman with a high-flying job, fabulous clothes, and incredible apartment, and a smoking hot boyfriend.…
Read MoreBackpacking Through Morocco as a Woman: My Most Difficult Travel Experience Yet
Morocco was somewhere that I’ve been eyeing for a while but, as much as I hated to admit it, it was not somewhere I wanted to go alone. Like several other countries in the world, Morocco comes with a reputation, especially for female travellers. From sexual assault and harassment, unwanted physical contact and violence, I…
Read MoreEverything You Want to Know About a Panama Canal Cruise
If you asked me at the start of 2019 what my travel plans were, I would have told you nothing. After a busy 4th quarter in 2018, I was planning on spending a few months at home catching up on work, getting new clients, and saving money for upcoming adventures. But, as is usual, things never…
Read More5 Things I Want Everyone to Know About My ‘Dream Job’
A couple of weeks ago I had an Instagram comment that really annoyed me. It was buried in a lot of text but there it was, staring me boldly in the face: “free travel”. The comment was in regards to content I had been posting in January about my trip to the Middle East, specifically Israel,…
Read MoreDual Narrative Hebron Tour: Don’t Leave Israel Without This Experience
I glanced at the window beside me; a fractured kaleidoscope of colours reflected by the scenery outside. Tiny cracks spider webbing out from the point of impact in the middle crawled across the entire window pane. I wondered what had made the window crack like that. I hoped it was a rock, but I also…
Read MoreYear End Review: The Best and Worst of 2018
It’s that time of the year: the time to look back and reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly in the hopes that you are now older and wiser and can eliminate some of those not-so-good bits for the next year (insert snort laugh here). I love doing these little wrap-ups and while…
Read MoreI Was Sexually Assaulted in Tonga After Trying to Blend with the Locals
Tonga was a dream destination for me. The idea of being able to swim with humpback whales blew my mind and I was more than happy to discover those postcard-perfect islands surrounded by clear aqua waters and fringed with soft, white sand. It took me a year to plan and save up for it. But it…

Picture this: a historic castle located in the woods beside a lake. The front of the castle has a stone bridge, spanning the rushing river below and protected by small towers. Once past the bridge, visitors are greeted by a grand entranceway, guarded on either side by statues of Irish wolfhounds. On the lakeside, there…
