Spring is in the Air!
I don’t think I need to remind you how much I hate winter… but if I do, check this out as a refresher on my whiney feelings about this evil death season. Every year it seems to last longer than the one before it, regardless of what the scientists and ‘experts’ say about climate change all that stuff. Maybe it’s because I’m getting grumpier in my old age, but even the fond memories I had as a wee lass enjoying a good frolic in the snow seems to be replaced by a seasonal scowl. Just because I’m Canadian doesn’t mean I have to like the snow! Oh wait, it does?…

Rome in a Day – A Quick Roman Holiday!
I’m never one to advocate speed runs of a destination, particularly if it’s your first time, but sometimes you really don’t have any other choice.

Travelling Solo – What to Watch Out For
Some of my best experiences travelling the world have come while I have been alone. There’s a certain calmness that can only be achieved when you only have yourself to rely on and your own thoughts to content yourself with. Can it get lonely? Absolutely, but just in the same way you can want to throttle your travel companion, the key to all of this is moderation. I couldn’t imagine only travelling alone and even when I do set out by myself, I always manage to make new friends – even if it’s only for a short time. With this in mind though, it’s not all sunshine and sparkles when…
