Last week James and I received some very special visitors (come from aways) to Newfoundland! We were so excited to show off our quirky second home to our dear friends and packed their short time with many adventures.
Read MoreFinding the perfect backpacking bag is no easy feat. I believe I once had the perfect bag, but an unfortunate spin through the Mexico City Airport took my pack out of commission. No longer on the market, I've done a fair bit of research in finding a replacement. Read and tell me your thoughts. I'm open to suggestions!
Read MoreOver the weekend and rather spontaneously, James booked us a cabin in the Trinity area. A town named Dildo, a brewery in a town smaller than my high school graduating class and a cabin perfectly settled in a seaside cove.

Read MoreTen days traveling Iceland flew by. I'm overjoyed to share our journey, but could not possibly pour all of my thoughts, experiences and photos into one post. Therefore, I'm breaking the content into a mini series. Today I am reliving our first two days in Part One of the series. Read, enjoy and leave comments or questions!
Read MoreSince moving to Newfoundland I've compiled a list of unique words and phrases. With some friends coming to visit this summer, I thought it was about time I shared them. Wishing you a Friday that's best kind!
Read MoreThese Newfoundlanders really have it figured out. Christmas is not summed up by the day and its eve. Rather, here, the days on either end have their own significant meaning for celebration. Christmas lasts a full four days!
Read MoreVisiting Belize in the off-season made for a more private, more affordable, romantic getaway. I highly recommend the Belize Ocean Club Resort and the Placencia area all together.
