July has been a month filled with travel, adventure and life changing experiences! It all started July 1. I left for India for two weeks. It was my first real trip that I didn't plan and it was my second time to Asia. But this time I was in the real Asia. (Well from my perspective) My first stop was Delhi, a busy city filled with endless amounts of history and lots of culture shock. But the highlight was se ...

There are some days in Alicante city when all you want is a sunbed, light filtering through an ice-cold drink, and nothing more strenuous than turning the pages of a new novel. But if you want some holiday stories to turn friends back home green with envy, you’ll need to explore a little further. What brings back visitors year after year to this province, set between the mountains and the Med? Why not hire ...

When I first started blogging, I really had no idea where to begin. It was strange because I knew I really wanted to share my experiences with fellow travellers, but I didn’t know where to start. I wanted to make it fun, not too editorial, and more of an exciting read, rather than something you would read in a magazine. So today I went over some of my older posts and decided that many of them aren't fun or ...

Backpacking is really just a way to travel without spending too much and using it wisely. You don’t necessary have to be extremely cheap, but just watch what you spend and where you spend it.

Do you know that you deserve a break? For months, you have been stressing yourself from work. It is unhealthy if you will keep on doing that without any breaks.

It is still best to flex some muscles and to release some endorphins. You think ...

Over the past few weeks, I have searched up and low for the perfect mix of a relaxation and adventure destination for our honeymoon. I went from researching the Hawaiian Islands to looking up destinations such as Aruba and Barbados.
