European Girl Summer Starts Now
Well, the plan for Ontario went a little awry. But, we’re spending the summer in Europe, so there’s that – not too shabby of an option if I do say so. Work hours will be a little bit odd, so that I can stay on time with North American business – but it will just…

AirBNB – A Story
So, I am in the world’s cutest AirBNB right now. The house is like 115 years old, it’s made out of red-bricks. The AirBNB is in the basement and the host lives upstairs. The host renovated the basement completely so everything is nice and new and convenient for people for short term stays. Everything about…

Denmark Folk – If You’re Out There
It seems I’m headed for Denmark for an unknown period – to support my brother. I will be working while there, but I will need to work North American hours, which means I’ll have my morning’s largely… empty, whilst my brother is working. Does anyone have any recommendations for sights to see or things to…

Strike Is Over – Got my Passport
Government of Canada workers (minus the CRA workers) went back to work today. Went into the passport office and they took my application and said it’ll be ready for the 15th. Looks like I’m going to make it to Europe after all. My brother’s date in Family Court in Denmark is June 1. It’s his…

Still No Passport
Strike action is ongoing. Passport Canada says that you can only get a passport if you’re at risk of financial hardship, or if you’ve had a death in the family. I went to the passport office Thursday and Friday. Thursday I was told to come back Friday. Friday I was told my brother splitting from…

Everything I loved About Portugal
Honestly, there’s so much I love about Portugal. I’ve been trying to put together this post for a while, and I just cannot explain how relaxed and free the country made me feel. A list doesn’t do it justice – perhaps a novel might be better. I can see why so many people wind up…

Last Minute International Tickets – Help!
To anyone who might read this, something has come up with my family and I need to book a last minute international trip to Denmark. I’m not really used to booking last minute flights as it’s Friday April 7th today and departure will need to be Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Tickets are pretty egregious right…

I bought a $59 Suitcase and Travelled 20,000+ Miles – This is How it Has Held Up
In September 2022, I bought this teal/green coloured suitcase from Walmart for $59. Since then, I have travelled more than 20,000 miles – by plane, train and automobile. This suitcase has held up AMAZINGLY. Why is this important? A few reasons: First, I spent the majority of my twenties travelling for work. When travelling for…

Just Booked My Next Plane Ticket
I’m home now. For now, anyway. I had the most incredible time. I cannot tell you what it meant to me to have sunshine in the winter. Actually, Canadians who read this blog probably understand. Even if you live near the border, it still feels really dark during the winter months. Being able to escape…
