December, the most wonderful time of the year. Despite the fact I'm not a cold weather fan, I am a fan of holiday cheer. One of the first trips I began dreaming about when I moved to London last January? Exploring Europe’s Christmas markets. Even though it’d be almost a year before the trip happened, … Continue reading #Take12Trips: December

The Biggest Travel Mistakes I Made in 2017
With travel, much like life, we learn lessons along the way. Making mistakes and learning from them is part of life, but as the saying goes, 'you won't live long enough to make them all yourself'. When you travel and are responsible for yourself, you truly come to understand what being ‘self-sufficient’ means. Your bags … Continue reading The Biggest Travel Mistakes I Made in 2017
Top 10 Places I Visited in 2017
What. A. Year. As if moving to a new country wasn't exciting enough, I was fortunate to take adventures that took me around the UK, Europe and to Asia for the first time. Much like 2016, I feel like I've learned and grown so much this year- it's crazy to think I was able to … Continue reading Top 10 Places I Visited in 2017
#Take12Trips: November
Trying to recall November seems harder than other months, perhaps because it's almost mid-December and holiday chaos (and good tidings) are in full swing. November always feels like a transitional month, trying to squeeze in as much fall as possible before letting the excitement of the holidays seep in. Early in the month, I visited … Continue reading #Take12Trips: November
#Take12Trips: October
October. Quite possibly the best month yet. It's no secret autumn is my favourite season (as witnessed by the pumpkin takeover on my Instagram). Autumn has long been the season I most look forward to- crisper days, beautiful foliage, Halloween traditions, pumpkin everything and some seriously cozy vibes. Coming home from Seattle, I kicked off … Continue reading #Take12Trips: October
#Take12Trips: September
I don't even remember it being early September- where did the month go?! I knew it'd be a busy month, but somehow, it ended up being even more hectic than planned. Early in the month, I finally made it out to Bath for a day trip and was blown away. It's become my favourite English … Continue reading #Take12Trips: September
#Take12Trips: August
What. a. month. My sister visited for a week and a half in the beginning of the month, and it was truly a whirlwind trip. In 11 days, we traipsed about London, flew to Amsterdam and Dublin, and took the train to Paris. I loved showing my sister some of my favourite places, and discovering … Continue reading #Take12Trips: August
#Take12Trips: July
This month, I had every intention of heading to Bath for #Take12Trips. But, the Saturday we were supposed to go, it was raining and I was so exhausted from the work week that we decided to reschedule for August. Scrambling to find a wandering alternative, I decided to visit the lavender fields at Mayfield in … Continue reading #Take12Trips: July
#Take12Trips: June
Summer is officially in full swing, #PraiseHands. It's my first summer in London, and I'm slowing down my out of country travel for a few weeks to see more of England and appreciate London's warm weather and blue skies. At the beginning of the month, I headed to Hampton Court Palace for a day trip. … Continue reading #Take12Trips: June
#Take12Trips: May
This month, I visited a few new cities and a new continent! Asia has been on my list for quite a while, but a trip just never seemed to come to fruition- parts of the US and Europe have always been bigger priorities. After spending a week and a half in Hong Kong, Macau and Japan … Continue reading #Take12Trips: May
