I think it's safe to say that the United Kingdom is one of my favorite places to travel to four main reasons: Family! Shopping! SHOPPING! Shopping! Direct flight from Ottawa to London! + MANY direct and inexpensive flights from the UK to many major cities in Europe! It's a BEAUTIFUL country; from the heart of… Continue reading L O N D O N IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA

Growing up I told myself I would work and live in the heart of the City - there’s a type of lifestyle downtown that I craved; big city + corporate life.

I’ve touched down on this land before, but only as a flight transfer, and it only lasted 3 hours. Since this… Continue reading PLAYING TOURIST: SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
The plan was to post our New Orleans (post linked here) and Nashville trip together in one post, but when I started putting photos together, I realized there were just TOO MANY I wanted to share to squeeze them all into one post. So, here is part two of our December adventure: NASHVILLE, TENNESSE! Nashville,… Continue reading PLAYING TOURIST: NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
