My trip began with a solo adventure! After touching down in Cancun at about 1:30pm on Thursday I grabbed an ADO bus for $14 US and took an hour long ride to Playa Del Carmen. Luckily for me, the location of the buses in the airport was super easy to find after watching this video... Continue Reading →
After vetoing a trip down south over the Christmas holidays due to the crazy flight prices to travel at that time of year, my friend Candace and I are finally flying down to bask in the hot, hot heat. Albeit last minute, we've managed to work up a pretty solid itinerary. We'll be spending 3... Continue Reading →
In just over 100 days I will be heading to the land of fire and ice! ICELAND!!! We've booked ourselves at KEX hostel (an old biscuit factory) in the country's capital, Reykjavik. Instead of renting a car we've opted for 4 different day tours which conveniently allow for pick-up directly from our hostel. Over the... Continue Reading →
I can't believe it but the last day of vacation has arrived. Our last excursion before I boarded my flight was to head down to Half Moon Bay to walk along the beach and grab lunch. Here a certain turkey had a ball jumping into the water (for a whole 5 seconds), we also discovered... Continue Reading →

Our first day in San Fran started with a delicious homemade breakfast before we headed off to the city for our Alcatraz tour. We were a bit early getting there so we went for a drive through Chinatown and down the zigzaggy Lombard Street. We grabbed the ferry to Alcatraz which was pretty cool as... Continue Reading →
OMG this is it! I officially ran my very first half marathon and the best part was that it was in the beautiful city of Washington D.C.! It was an early 7am start time but BY FAR one of the coolest races I've ever done. Along the course they had DJ's, high school marching bands... Continue Reading →
Early Saturday morning we headed over to get in line for when the National Archives museum opened at 10am. Inside we were able to see the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, so old you could barely make out what was written on these large pieces of paper. For lunch we headed on...
