Reykjavik Snapshot One of my favourite things to do when visiting a new city is to see it from above. Reykjavik isn’t that big, however, you can look out from the famous church tower. It’s worth checking out.…

Travel: 5 Day Trail Prep
5 day hike prep! That’s right – we’re planning for a 5 day, 5 night hike that’ll cover a little over 80 kilometres. Last time we hike for this length of time was back in 2019 when we hiked the West Coast Trail. This time, however, we won’t be tenting. Instead, we’re staying in huts! 5 Day Trail Prep Below I’ll share what I’ve got for clothing and also some eats. Without needing out tent or stove, we’ve got a bunch more room for eats…

Travel: A Morning in Amsterdam
A morning in Amsterdam, Netherlands (or Holland, if you will!) is an stunning place for a morning stretch. We were travelling home from 14 Days in the Middle East and had an 8 hour layover in Amsterdam. So, after we landed shortly after 6am we went out for a stroll since our flight out was around 2pm. After a speedy de-boarding, we exited the airport, passed through border control, and caught the train! A Morning in Amsterdam First up, be sure you have enough time…

Photos: Daphne Turns Six
Daphne turns six! This little stinker is half a dozen years old. Wild, eh?! She’s a fun-lovin raggamuffin who likes to cuddle on her watch, chase squirrels, and eat anything made of animal protein. Okay, let’s check out some of our favourite photos from the past year. Daphne Turns Six First up, the daycare gang – that’s right, she’s part of the four paws group at daycare.

Travel: Tryp by Wyndham
The Tryp by Wyndham is in an awesome central spot in Abu Dhabi. Plus, it’s within walking distance to one of our top cafes. It’s clean, reasonably priced, and has incredibly helpful staff – they helped us arrange a private driver to take us to the Dubai Airport for about 1/3 of what we thought we’d have to pay. Tryp by Wyndham Below I’ll share some photos of our hotel, yet I wanted to share that 2-3 of the rooms we saw – you know…
