You’re Never Too Old for a Day at the Carnival

‘Come, my head’s free at last!’ said Alice in a tone of delight, which changed into alarm in another moment, when she found that her shoulders were nowhere to be found: all she could see, when she looked down, was an immense length of neck, which seemed to rise like a stalk out of a sea of green leaves that lay far below her. ‘What can all that green stuff be?’ said Alice. ‘And where have my shoulders got to? And oh, my poor hands, how is it I can’t see you?’ She was moving them about as she spoke, b[...]

Why You Should Skip Work and Go on a Day Trip

Alice did not at all like the tone of this remark, and thought it would be as well to introduce some other subject of conversation.

4 Ways to Escape Your Commute

There are few times I can remember actually enjoying being in my car. Or driving, for that matter. I was never really one to enjoy the open road, wind in my hair sort of thing. I'm sure my parents are shaking their heads at me right not; road trips are a part of my family’s bloodline. Twice a year we would make the 24+ hour trek from our home in Ontario to my grandparent’s in Manitoba. I don’t remember loving it. 3 hour or more hikes were also common for (insert sport here) tournaments. Driving was just something we did. Part of life, if you will. Traf[...]

Eat like a Local w/ Secret Food Tours Paris

My husband and I love food. If you have read my blog before, or follow me on Instagram, this is no surprise. One of our favorite things to do is to plan trips that either revolve around food or at least have a hefty portion rely on food. Food tours are at the top of our list as an incredible way to do an un-touristy tourist thing in a part of a city or country that we may not have reason to visit otherwise.read more[...]
