For the past few weeks I’ve been catching up with family and friends in Canada so it has been pretty quiet on the blog. The World Cup kicked off last Thursday and I seem to have forgotten that Canada, well Toronto specifically goes crazy for the event. It is a great time to be in…

Here, There and Everywhere in 2014
In 2012 and 2013 I missed out on going to Iceland and Italy. I had booked a package deal with Guernsey Jen to Iceland for September 2012 and by a fluke of our return flight being cancelled and not returning on our chosen date did I have a chance to ditch the entire trip and…
Home Again
The reason for me returning to Canada twice in one year? A wedding of course. My older brother finally proposed to his girlfriend of almost 10 years and they set the date for August. When he proposed last year my tickets for my flight home in December were already purchased. If not I would have…
The Dollhouse
I’ve been in Toronto for the past few days and this time around I’ve explored parts of the city that I never knew as a kid. In the past I always spent time in the west end or downtown. The friends D and I were staying with live in the east end. And so does this…

Choose your own adventure
Picture credit Remember these books? I used to read them a lot as a kid and they were awesome. My adventure right now is in London of course but I often toy with the idea of flipping forward a few pages and changing the destination to Toronto. I almost did in 2008 but I came…
O Canada – Breaking stereotypes
So I was at a party last weekend. A friend of my boyfriend’s turned 29 and invited people over for drinks and a bbq. Music was going and eventually the birthday boy started asking people for requests. I went up to him and asked what he had by Canadian artists…..mistake. He proudly said ‘oh wait, I have one Canadian song’. I…
Walking on the edge
source I was up there last time I was in Canada. I took my boyfriend there, because he loves heights (he doesn’t) and it was a good touristy Toronto thing to do. I recently heard about an Edge Walk being introduced and I’m kinda intrigued. I don’t know if I could work up the courage…
