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. I wanted to share some of my favourite moments from the trip and why I think that all Canadians should experience Halifax for themselves this year! 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”

Or that I don’t I don’t know the difference between white and ivory when doing the laundry. Well you know what the last straw was? He had the audacity to claim that #RightTWIX was better than #LeftTWIX. Well you know what? Enough is enough.

The special moments we have shared

When I stop to think about the adventures that Julio & I have shared over the years, there are some amazing moments and experiences that always make me smile. As exciting as our travels and events around the world have been, some of my favourite moments spent together as a couple have been those we spend at home. I quickly came to realize that it was Julio’s love for Nintendo and Pokémon that made him so endearing when we first started to date. Looking back on our relationship, Nintendo has actually been a huge part of our lives. I guess that happens when you genuinely love something. So I decided to look back at some of the special moments we have shared together as Nintendo fans.  Continue reading “The special moments we have shared”
