Welcome to the world at your fingertips!
I’ve been home for about a month and I don’t have any travel plans for another month, which leaves me sitting here on this rainy Saturday morning thinking about what I’ll pack on my next sunny escape! Here’s a round-up of essentials I never leave home without: Moleskine messenger bag For anyone who reads my [...]

I recently visited Iceland, the land of fire and ice, and this spectacular destination has made its way into my heart and onto my list of favourite places in the world. Nature’s bounty abounds here: volcanoes, glaciers, mountains, geothermal waters and the Northern Lights make it one of the world’s most breathtaking countries. A short [...]

Tonight, I just had to share this photo. Absolute love. {photo via oscarprgirl.tumblr.com} Delayed at the airport – I know the feeling that ensues. Love how this photo captures that. Photo credit: Jerry Schatzberg, 1957.

It was only two weeks ago that I awoke one sunny morning in Paris and headed to Gare du Nord to jump on the Eurostar. My day was as follows: Breakfast in Paris, lunch in London, dinner in Toronto. Two short weeks later, it feels like that was months ago. I always feel that way [...]

I’m back from my whirlwind trip to London and the memories are swirling in my mind, jockeying for position, warning me not to forget. But how could I? I’ve visited London many times but each time, the love affair deepens and the memories are etched more firmly on my heart. I was invited to attend [...]

I’m busy, busy, busy, trying to get through the 143 unread emails that are demanding my attention and threatening to ruin my day. I’m trying to prepare for my next trip. But busy or not, I couldn’t resist the urge to take a few moments to update you on where I’m headed: {photo via skyscanner.net} [...]

Traveling smart and traveling stylishly can sometimes feel like conflicting notions. Now that I’m fully sold on the idea of traveling with carry-on only (a recurring theme on this blog, I know!), it seems I’m forever looking for ways to condense what I carry without leaving all of my favourite things at home. Shoes are [...]
Tel Aviv is a city just like so many world-class cities across the globe, something I’d not really realized or even expected, truth be told. The city is in its infancy, particularly compared to neighbouring cities like Jerusalem; Tel Aviv celebrates its centennial in 2009 and the city is alive with a festive flair, with [...]
I start the day off with breakfast at the hotel to fuel up for a morning of exploring Zurich on foot. This city is breathtaking. Despite the cloudy skies and chilly air, the city looms grand and impressive at every turn. Our tour guide begins by taking us to Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world’s most [...]
I don’t consider myself a daredevil but along my travels, I’ve had the opportunity to try different things that have made me a little weak in the knees. There was the 5.7-kilometre cable car ride up to see the Big Buddha in Hong Kong. There was the AJ Hackett Skywalk, 233 metres high, along the [...]

As you may have gathered by now, my trip to California was a lot of hard work … fabulous hotels, spa treatments and shopping on Rodeo Drive. Hey — someone’s gotta do it! Next up on my agenda: A delightful 90-minute massage at the Spa Chakra at the Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey. Situated on the [...]
July is finally here and it’s ushered in with our first holiday of the summer – Canada Day. This year, our national holiday falls on a Wednesday, so that means no long weekend for us. But a day off mid-week isn’t too bad either. Canada Day celebrates the anniversary of the July 1, 1867 enactment [...]
I have no travel plans at the moment and when that happens, I resort to daydreaming about where I’d like to go, what I’d like to be doing and what I’d take with me. Right now, I could sure use a beach. It’s hot, hot, hot where I live right now so I’m not in [...]

How have I not known about dual voltage flat irons before? On three previous trips to Europe, I have blown my flat iron and/or hair dryer. The voltage just doesn’t convert. A guy in Radio Shack explained that adapters work for electronic devices (like your computer) but not electric devices, like my beloved flat iron. [...]
