My face is slowly thawing as I sit in the Whitehorse airport after a quick weekend trip to the Yukon. Some of you may know that one of my travel goals is to visit every province and territory in our beautiful country of Canada. Prior to this weekend I had the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, … More The Canadian North – The Yukon
I am feeling a little nostalgic for the 26th year of my life. So much happened in my 26th lap around the sun. I started the year surrounded by my closest friends and family having delicious food and drinks. This girl in this picture had no idea what was ahead of her. All she knew … More That was 26
I’m listening to Taylor Swift’s Red album, watching youtube videos about how to properly snowshoe, because I am going snowshoeing in the morning. That is what you do here in Vancouver; when you can’t hike the trails in the North Shore Mountains, you snowshoe them. I probably should go to bed soon, but here I … More 2018
I needed to get outside and enjoy the fall weather so I packed up my laptop and took a stroll down Granville Street. I still consider myself new to Vancouver so I want to take advantage of afternoons like this and explore little hidden gems in my neighbourhood. I holed myself up in a new … More I have to pinch myself sometimes
The procrastination of paper writing begins. My first graduate school assignment is due next week and I am trying to kill my bad writing habits (using the thesaurus TOO much and using passive voice). Grammarly can only be so helpful. To provide a quick update of my life in Vancouver, September has been all about … More New seasons, new changes

In these three weeks, I went from homeless to having a home, no furniture, to an IKEA look alike, and no sense of routine to walking everywhere in my Lululemon gear. It was … More Living three hours behind
As I browse through my gazillion pictures from our European Escapade, it already feels like forever ago that I was cruising on a boat from Amalfi to Positano. After our Contiki tour came to an end we took a flight from Paris to Rome to meet my parents who were going to accompany us on … More Motherland part 2
Hellloooo! I am currently in the Paris airport waiting a crazy amount of time before our flight back to Rome. (We are meeting up with my parents to explore Southern Italy including Amalfi Coast, Calabria, Sicily). Our final two cities/countries we visited were a blast. After leaving Cinque Terre we arrived in Lucerne, Switzerland. Other … More See you later contiki fam
Ciao ciao. Back on the bus again, sadly leaving Italia. Thank goodness after the Contiki tour I will be back for another two weeks in the south. Our Contiki family visited a few cities in Italy, including Venezia, Roma, Firenze, and Cinque Terre. Returning to Italy after eight years was such a refreshing feeling. I … More The motherland
Hi everyone! Krista here, on the travelling bus our Italian bus driver Paolo has named “Chicco”. We are travelling through the Austrian Alps after the last three days exploring Prague, Czech Republic and Salzburg, Austria. Arriving in Prague was truly breathtaking. We took in the views overlooking the city at the Prague Castle and St. … More Prague and Salzburg
