Three Reasons You Should Consider a Weekend in Ottawa this Summer

With the province of Ontario on track to safely continue its reopening measures, this summer has become the season of freedom and reconnecting with the things and people I love. From seeing my niece and nephew again for the first time in months IRL, to weekend trips with Julio while we do the long distance “thing”, I’m all about sharing experiences with you all to inspire and make you smile.

When life comes full circle

As Catherine & I sit down on the #JUNOExpress en route to Ottawa, I can’t help but reread this blog post and feel a sense of nostalgia. As many of you have seen, DoTheDaniel.com has been chosen to be an official blog of The JUNO Awards this year. Five bloggers from Canada were hand selected by Canada’s biggest musical event of the year to bring you the reader (and our followers on social media) behind the scenes. I cannot wait to arrive back in Ottawa to see the city that I once called home, brought to life on a whole other level with musicians, artists and media from across the country coming together to celebrate the best Canada has to offer.  Continue reading “When life comes full circle”
