  • Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm so grateful I was able to take Friday and Monday off this Easter weekend because boy oh boy has jetlag been rough this time around 😅. I'm not sure if it's because I'm in work mode or because I always take red eyes to Europe, but travelling eastward is rarely an issue for me. I am able to hop into the local time zone within a day or so. But coming home is a different story. I've been falling asleep at 8pm some nights while others I'm able to stay up until midnight but end up waking up around 5am anyway! I think it's finally evened out a bit which is fortunate because Thursday I'm heading even more west, to California! See you soon, sunshine. ☀️
  • I recently picked up this fun little headband made from a strip of black fabric with a flexible wire inside. It's perfect for travel when your hair is messy, dirty, and maybe still has some salt and sand from your last swim in the ocean. You can wear this headband in so many ways, from tying it under your hair to creating a cute little turban knot in the front. I've even wrapped it around a pony tail for a more interesting twist on a basic style before. It's versatile and small which means it gets my travel seal of approval.
  • Did you know air travel is one of the highest carbon emission-creating forms of travel out there? This fact prompted me to look up all the ways I could cut my carbon emissions on my many trips. Check out my latest blog post for my round up of tips to help you be a more eco-friendly nomad!
  • Back in Montreal this week and couldn't be happier to take a pause to catch up with friends and family over the long weekend and celebrate Easter at church. I have the habit of loading up my rest time with other tasks like spring cleaning and getting my inbox to zero, but we'll see how it goes. Happy Easter weekend everyone! 🐣🍫
  • Plovdiv is the European Capital of Culture for 2019 and Kapana, the artsiest neighbourhood in the city, is a great place to celebrate. Cute cafés, winding streets, bright street art -- it has everything you'd expect from any international artsy block. Kapana actually means "trap" because the streets are so windy and confusing, you can barely find your way out. There were no building regulations at the time, so artisans and merchants just built over and around one another. At one time, the neighbourhood was only inhabited by craftspeople, so the streets bore the names of the trades of the merchants on each of them.
  • If you ever get a chance to visit Plovdiv, definitely check out the Free Plovdiv Walking Tour, which happens daily at 2pm (at 11am too in the summer). It was great to tour the main attractions of the city with a knowledgeable guide and an ecclectic mix of tourists. One of our stops was the ancient roman Philippopolis theatre, where I learned that amphitheatre only designates full-circle shapes, which means I've been wrongly calling half-circle theatres amphitheatres my whole life.
  • You know I collect souvenirs sparingly, but last Friday, I went to my very first Bulgarian concert in a club and I had such a good time, I had to buy the band's t-shirt on my way out. Oratnitza blends traditional Bulgarian music with modern electronic sounds to create something I'd never heard before. I just added some videos to my highlights, so make sure you play them with sound on!
  • If there is one city that knows how to layer, it's Plovdiv. The city's architecture can be described as centuries and centuries of conquerors building on top of past ruins. The result is a series of strata telling a rich and tumultuous history. The city has done a good job of integrating roman ruins and Bulgarian revival styles into the contemporary city scape, although still so much of the archeological ruins remain buried below shops and government buildings. It's an understandable predicament...How much can you interrupt daily life and the businesses of the city centre to restore relics the past? As a result, only a small portion of structures like the Philippopolis Stadium (pictured here) are uncovered, but they make for cool photo ops nonetheless!
