Some would say I’m a seasoned traveller. After 10+ years of actively exploring the world, during which I applied for three passports and set foot in 32 countries, I did pick up a few tricks along the way: don’t skimp on skincare, pack more shoes than you think you will need (a girl can never […]
There truly is something irresistibly romantic about the idea of train travel in Europe, isn’t there? I’ve admittedly done rather extensive, practical research on the process and rode trains in about a dozen countries across the Old Continent (using a Eurail pass most of the time), which I can partly attribute to my fear of […]
While it is very easy to imagine yourself jetting away to an exotic location, in reality, a stress-free, successful trip needs far more organisation than just a few clicks. Especially in today’s world, where we carry more devices than we can count (not to mention the charger for each of these devices) and where going […]
Against all odds — I am a fair-skinned blonde northerner with high sensitivity to the sun — I have become a bit of an expert on beach holidays and all-inclusive resorts, having seen my fair share after years of being a freelance travel writer.

Up until a few years ago, Montrealers didn’t have all that many options when it came to booking a direct flight from Montreal: Paris, London, and a handful of American cities. Gone are those days. Montreal Trudeau has become one of North America’s major airports, with airlines adding new service every week or so, it […]
The more I travel, the pickier I become with the precious items I choose to bring on the road. There’s only so much space in a suitcase and so many pounds I can handle; despite the fact that I fundamentally am a notorious overpacker, I continuously aim to have fewer, but better and more useful […]
So you’ve decided to visit Europe this summer, and you’re still undecided about getting a Eurail pass. Is it worth the price? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just book tickets whenever you need to?
