Travel & Lifestyle | Why I’m planning a trip to The Philippines in 2016

I think as I’ve gotten older I’ve come to realize that it is the experiences, not the “things” I have collected, that have helped to define who I am. Travel has become such an important outlet for me to find myself, and now that I am married it is also a way to create memories that I can carry with me for the rest of my life with my husband. In 2016 I am trying to get as many amazing opportunities as I can with Julio and when we are lucky enough to do it, we love to share them with you all. The Philippines is one of the hottest new destinations and Canadians are flocking there for good reason – come see why!

There are certain things that I have been lucky enough to share on the blog that stand out as perfect memories. That’s a strong word to use, but to me they embody a moment in my life that I will never forget because they were filled with laughter and joy.

Travel & Lifestyle | Why we said goodbye to wedding stress & were ready to #SayHelloToLove

As 2015 comes to an end, I am looking back on some of my favourite moments. It’s been an incredible year and one that has taught me a lot about myself and the life I have created. I quit my job to become a full time blogger. I broke into the UK with Brittany and Nicola as an international blog. I found inspiration in watching family and close friends find themselves. But I have to be selfish and say that my favourite moment of 2015 was when I finally married Julio on a beach in the Dominican Republic after months of keeping it top secret. Along with Booking Hello and Catalonia Hotels & Resorts, we were able to create the perfect destination wedding and want you to know that in our opinion, it’s the best way to get married.
