Edinburgh in 24 Hours

My very first out of town trip since arriving in London 10 days ago was to Edinburgh, Scotland. When I originally got my UK Work Visa, I had chosen Edinburgh as the city I would arrive in and would try to find work there.

Saying Goodbye to Lake Louise

I would not take back the last ten months I've spent living in Lake Louise for anything in the world. It has hands down been one of the most eye-opening and transformative periods in my life and I still can't believe I am packing up to leave this magical place. I have done everything from … Continue reading Saying Goodbye to Lake Louise

Plain of Six Glaciers on Horseback

10 Ways Travel Will Change Your Life

I have always wanted to travel. There is literally not a single place in the world I would say no to visiting at least once. I wanted to travel so badly that I even went to school for it.

16 Insane (But True) Things About Mountain Living

Sometimes when I talk about my day to day life with friends and family back home, I get the feeling that they don't quite get it. The daily struggles, and perks, of living in the Mountains. Maybe not all mountain living is like Lake Louise living, but I can assume every mountain town/village has similar … Continue reading 16 Insane (But True) Things About Mountain Living

Twenty Five

I am officially a quarter-century old. Where did the time go, and who do I sue? But seriously, even though the time has flown by and I'm not prepared to be adulting, the last year has been transformative in so many good and positive ways. I am older, but I am also wiser. I am happier, I … Continue reading Twenty Five

Cascade Gardens

On my last trip into Banff, I went a little off the beaten track and explored an area that I've always seen, walked by a million times, but never really took notice of. Cascade Gardens sits at the very end of Banff Avenue and when you stand at the front entrance you have an amazing … Continue reading Cascade Gardens

Sunset at Lake Louise

A little while ago I took a trip up to Lake Louise at night (believe it or not these photos were taken at 8:30PM). While I think sunrise will always be my favourite for Lake Louise, sunset wasn't half bad either.
