Experiencing Halifax in the best way possible

For those of you who follow along with Julio & I on social media, you’ll have seen that in partnership with Marriott International and Marriott Traveler, we recently took a trip to Halifax. I also realized that this marked a trip to both the east and west coast of Canada as we continue to #TravelWithMarriottCanada. That’s a huge accomplishment for us, and with so many beautiful cities and properties to visit, we couldn’t be more proud to continue to share our adventures with you. Stay tuned as Catherine continues to share her west coast experiences on the blog soon! And of course, in case you wanted to see the blog post I wrote for Marriott Traveler, click here.

Did I also mention that there’s an amazing contest that you can enter to experience a similar trip for yourself? I’ve got all the details for you!  Continue reading “Experiencing Halifax in the best way possible”

Canadian Tire recently asked Julio & I to host an event centered around their CANVAS line of products and I was so inspired by the experience that I wanted to share some of my favourite items to help you create your very own memories in the most Canadian way possible this summer.
