A guide to the Canadian Rockies
One of the most beautiful regions in the world, the Canadian Rockies is filled with inspiring scenery from snow-capped mountains, rushing waterfalls, glacier-fed lakes and an abundance of wildlife. Each season is completely different in this part of the world. Summer see’s rushing waterfalls and wildlife but along with it hordes of tourists and sparse…

Brooks Falls, Katmai National Park
My number one bucket list ticked – watching bears catch Salmon jumping upstream at Brooks Falls. Seeing baby bears was a bonus and too cute not to share! Located in Katmai National Park lies one of the best wildlife viewing that we have ever experienced. Every summer, sockeye salmon swim up the Brooks River to…

Anchorage in the summer
Alaska. The land of the midnight sun. There’s something about this destination that always draws me back and I’m not even 100% sure why. I know one reason is because we visited in the winter so of course we had to come back for the summer, and the other reason was to tick off a…

New York
New York was our last stop in the states before heading over to Europe. Even though New York had this amazing feel about it, unfortunately our US funds had dwindled and as we didn’t want to tap into our Europe funds, we didn’t get to do as much as we would have liked, like seeing…

Miami & the Bahamas
Visiting Miami was a last minute decision to include in our round the world trip. Mainly because it was cheaper for us to book two cruises (value for money) than it was to spend time on main land. I found it really difficult finding accommodation in Miami. According to tripadvisor, most places were crummy and rundown but…

California & Las Vegas
The sun shone upon my face through the window of the plane as we left the cold of British Colombia headed for California. I was so excited for our first road trip in the states. When I book a trip, I love researching each destination covering where to stay and what sites to see, sometimes…

The Canadian Rockies in Winter
After the high expectations Alaska created and fulfilled on our travels we were both happy to know that Canada lived up to them too! With a short stay in Vancouver city before exploring the snow-covered rockies which was in such close proximity, I could already tell that this is one place I would quickly fall…

Vancouver, Canada
With a short stay in Vancouver before our trip through the Rockies, we wandered the quirky streets of Gastown before heading to the Vancouver convention centre where we watched seaplanes coming in for landing & the views of North Vancouver across the waterway. We took the lift up the Vancouver Lookout Tower for spectacular views…

Fairbanks, Alaska
This part of the story is what made Alaska so magical to me! Every part of this journey was life changing, as cliché as that may sound. Ever since I saw a photo of the mystical Aurora Borealis also known as the northern lights I had always yearned to see and experience it’s beauty and…
