When I think of quick weekend escapes and local staycations, I usually end up in Tofino or Whistler. Since moving to BC, it has never been very common for me to pack up and drive down Highway to explore more of the Fraser Valley. That recently changed for me. You know how much I enjoy […]

My holiday gift guide for the jetsetter.

I grew up in Toronto. My dream of being able to learn how to surf dated back to “Blue Crush” and “Soul Surfer” – but the closest thing I had to it near home was braving the Great Lakes during winter in the middle of a windstorm. No thanks. Besides, the California coastline and beaches of Hawaii seemed much more appealing at the time.

Do everything, one thing or nothing at all. This is your trip – and anything you do sets you up for the perfect escape.

That’s what I love about Tofino. You can set out to have a weekend to shut off and unwind, pack it with adventure or have a bit of both in the mix. There is literally no wrong answer.

Call your girls and get going to the city that never sleeps.

This is #TheGirlsTripSeries.

While it’s unlikely you’ll be able to experience this entire city over the span of a weekend, it is likely you’ll fall in love with it’s charm and energy that LA has to offer.

Whether this is your first trip to the City of Angels, or a friendly trip back to a place that’s starting to feel like home – there’s always something new to do here.

Grab your girls, and let’s kick this series off.

Welcome to #TheGirlsTripSeries.

Three days in London. Three. Freaking. Days.

Was it short? Incredibly.
Do I wish that I could have stayed longer? 100%
Did I go anyways? Duh.

Ford Canada recently launched their 2018 Ford EcoSport to the world, and they took the celebration nation-wide by driving the car from coast to coast! Check out my leg of the tour from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg!
