Is this thing on? Oh hey, there we are! I've said this before, but the most amazing thing I did for myself this past year was let go of all of the "plans" I initially had, and simply allow the universe to guide me along the way. One of my favourite outcomes of this, was … Continue reading Taiwan | Tiny Island, Powerful Punch

Singapore | An Unexpected Love Affair
There came a certain point this year when I stopped making plans, and a beautiful thing happened within that as I was suddenly open to all potential opportunities vs. stressing over how to actualize my original 'itinerary.' One of which, as I'm sure you can guess by now, was Singapore. This was never a place … Continue reading Singapore | An Unexpected Love Affair
Malaysia | The Heart + Soul of Asia
I can't take credit for the title. This was a verse from the very catchy welcome song that sang as we landed, and (to my chagrin) it's been playing on repeat in my head this whole time, haha. BUT there is definitely some truth to the statement. Malaysia is an absolute GEM and I've only … Continue reading Malaysia | The Heart + Soul of Asia
Namaste
I almost missed it. I read the schedule wrong. I was looking at Monday’s classes instead of Sunday's. I was late to leave due to a complete emotional meltdown, and to cap it off, I forgot my tickets that I needed in order to get into the class. I nearly stuck with the sentiment of, … Continue reading Namaste
Surf + Turf | Lessons Learned
Let's be clear: I've taken one surf lesson (for basically one hour) in my entire life, so when I say things like "yah, I surf now," ignore me, haha. THAT SAID, the one and some hour(s) I was out there proved challenging yet incredible, and there was a lot that resonated with me while I … Continue reading Surf + Turf | Lessons Learned
Bali the Beautiful
I rarely travel to the same place twice. This is likely in part because I'm often heading to places that are far enough away that a trip back is challenging to make happen on a recurring basis, but more so, I generally operate with the feeling that there are so many stunning places to visit … Continue reading Bali the Beautiful
Never Far | Lancelin, Cervantes + Jurien Bay
In Toronto, a two or three-hour drive from the city would bring reprieve by way of a smaller-town setting with local shops, wine-country or perhaps even a bit of countryside, however in WA you get desert. And honestly - it's super cool. For my birthday this year I took myself on a two-day trip to … Continue reading Never Far | Lancelin, Cervantes + Jurien Bay
Another Trip Around the Sun
Well guys, I've made it. Another trip around the sun. Another set of amazing experiences to look back on, and an added roster of incredible people for whom I am so lucky to have had enter, and find their place in my life. I'm another year older, and another year wiser. This past year I … Continue reading Another Trip Around the Sun
Fight or Flight…[I’ve booked a Flight]
What am I afraid of? I ask this to myself, and I can come up with likely infinite answers. There’s the superficial layer: heights, spiders, snakes, the sun (yeah, good thing I’m out here going hiking in Australia eh? Ha.). I could take it one level deeper: I’m afraid of rejection, the unknown, losing control. … Continue reading Fight or Flight…[I’ve booked a Flight]
Confessions of a Solo Traveller | Part 3
I have an actual confession to make. There has been a massive, pervasive part of this journey so far that I have actively omitted from sharing. I have been posting, projecting and pretending that for the most part, everything is great. It’s beautiful, it’s warm, it’s sunny and “amazing.” And though all of those things … Continue reading Confessions of a Solo Traveller | Part 3
