BOWEN ISLAND

Sometimes you just need a city break from Vancouver. Bowen Island is the perfect little getaway you didn’t know you needed.

BANGKOK

Wow, this post took me over a year to finish writing! Well, Bangkok. What can I say? Thailand is literally the last Asian country on my list to visit and I have my reasons which are revealed in the post. But there is a certain appeal with the hustle and bustle and overall business. Plus, the food just can’t be beat!

ZURICH

It’s no secret how much I loved my time in Zurich. It’s dubbed one of the most expensive cities in the world and it is 100% true. But with a couple travel hacks and with the guidance of my aunt who lives in Zurich, I was able to see the city without breaking the bank.

SARAJEVO

This post was difficult to write. I had so many great memories (and scary ones too!) when I was traveling in Sarajevo. It’s a city that’s opened up post-war that’s rich with history, cheap eats, and culture. It’s a lengthy post but good to read. I actually wish I had written this as soon as I had left, reminiscing on the quick Bosnian romance I had and to preserve those feelings. Ah, c’est la vie!

SPLIT

I was in a bind. Did I want to go to Split or Dubrovnik? I had always had Split in my original itinerary. To be honest, Dubrovnik wasn’t part of it since I didn’t want to do two coastal towns in a row but I’m so happy I went with both! Split and Dubrovnik offer completely different vibes, with the locals preferring Split over the other. Palm trees, great wine and food. Split was an unimagineable destination for relaxation which exceeded my expectations by far.

ZAGREB

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia. It was a stop on my month-long trip from Central Europe to Turkey. I had full intentions of just going to the coastal towns of Croatia but decided to stop in Zagreb and stay one night after Slovenia. I’m really glad I was able to make a pit stop here. Not only did I have one of the best foods ever there, but I also made a friend there and was able to connect with someone at night. Zagreb is a beautiful city, filled with great museums and sights - definitely worth the stop!
