Montreal wasn’t love at first sight. But the more I explored, the more the city grew on me. One of the reasons I am looking forward to returning to Montreal is its foodie scene. There are some iconic foods to try in Montreal that have somehow found their place in the multicultural city. In this […]

After I fell in love with Nova Scotia on my first trip to what I now call my happy place, I started looking at the most affordable way to get there from England. The first time I flew via Montreal, from Heathrow Airport, which was not quite convenient for me. But until last year, there […]

It’s 7am and I’m wide awake. For some reason, this time I wasn’t able to shift the jet lag at all on this trip, but I don’t mind as the pain of waking up early every day was rewarded with beautiful sunrises almost every morning. Like today. I’m brushing my teeth, looking through the small […]

Back in April I travelled from London to Toronto and landed at Hamilton Airport rather than at Toronto Pearson. I didn’t even realise that I was not going to land at Pearson when I booked the flight. Turned out though that the experience was so much quieter and from landing to getting on the bus […]

Little did I know what a […]

After two cloudy and windy days, the sun finally came out over Niagara Falls. I woke up to a glorious sunrise over a clear, sunny sky, and I knew this was the day when I would take that so-wished-for Niagara Falls helicopter ride. Ever since I visited Niagara Falls for the first time I wanted to see it from the air, from […]
