Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables A visit to the sea is a free, eco-friendly, and restful escape from the chaos that can sometimes fill our [...]

Since arriving in Scandinavia we have tried every pastry we have come across and have yet to be disappointed.

My husband is an avid coffee enthusiast and not just in the sense that he thinks it’s cool to use an AeroPress, but he loves the entire experience surrounding his cup of joe. Ask to meet him for coffee and he is likely to show you some obscure cafe that you have never heard of [...]

One of my favorite things in the world to do is go on a girls’ date with Hailey, or as many of you know her, Traveling Girl. She is the coolest girl I know and I thought you might enjoy seeing some of her favorite places to eat and shop! One of the best things [...]

One of our very favorite things to do when we travel is to visit the grocery store. Even in the US we use to do the same thing if we traveled to a new city because there was always the chance that there would be a new food… or better yet, a new treat to [...]
