Love Month

February 9, 2018.Reading time 10 minutes.

February rolls around and there are are a few types of people: You love valentines day and everything, I mean everything is pink. Right down to the little red hearts you draw in your agenda. You hate valentines day with a burning passion and tend to gravitate towards ignoring the fact that pink, a wretched colour, […]

When was the last time wonder wasn’t foreign?

January 27, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

It sits in the way that people hang their heads and keep on walking without looking up. In the very way that we don’t look at stars in the city anymore because we can’t really see them. When was the last time I actually looked at the stars? It hangs over me in a way […]

It was Romantic

January 22, 2018.Reading time 4 minutes.

Recently, I took the train to Toronto and immediately felt nostalgic. The sun was rising like a bright orange globe hanging over Hamilton and glimmering just.. ‘so’ through the windows. This was the first time I’d been on a train since I returned home from galavanting through Europe with my family this summer. I felt […]

Places Love Exists (Europe Edition)

December 12, 2017.Reading time 6 minutes.

For about as long as I can remember I have been showered with love. I am so unbelievably lucky to have grown up in a family that said “I love you” more than necessary (you can never say it enough). I’ve always inherently known that love exists. Love is important. Love is a powerful emotion […]

Heartbreak in Paris

November 16, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

I haven’t written in a while. Half the time I think about writing something and I forget before I have the chance to do so OR I write it all down and think better of it. I’m back and forth between this blogging thing because everyday my brain whispers and shouts some thoughts on publicly […]

Fuschl Am See

October 11, 2017.Reading time 2 minutes.

Much of the writing I find myself recording in the little books I carry around with me is observation. Throughout my time in Europe I did my best to see people, to listen to the things that were occurring around me. One day, while my family spent some time on the lake in Austria, a […]

Two little feet and a bunch of Parisian streets (An Amateurs’s Guide to walking the City)

July 20, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

I’m quickly learning that the best way to discover these European cities is on my own two feet. For this post I recommend you pack some water, a good pair of running shoes folks, and as Kelsey would call them “Emergency Granola Bars”. I went on a free walking tour throughout the city with Sandeman […]

Paris Sunsets

July 19, 2017.Reading time 4 minutes.

I’ve made it quite the mission on this trip to watch as many sunsets in as many places as I can. There’s just really nothing that makes me happier. Here are some of the sunsets I chased while in this beautiful city. Montparnasse The second tallest building in Paris save for Sacre- Coeur. Parisens all […]

Museums on Museums

July 12, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

Two museums were visited during our stay in Paris. Quite obviously the Louvre (how can you not) and Musee D’Orsay. The best advice a tour guide gave me while I was in Paris was to give yourself a time limit while at the Louvre. It would literally take you over a year to look at […]
