I can honestly only apologise for the lateness of all these travel posts, but it’s quite nice to be able to blog about adventures pre-Covid whilst knowing that travel is currently not a safe option for most people. So, last year some friends and I embarked on a little miniature travel trio which began in … More Travel | Tapas and Paella In Madrid, Spain
As I mentioned in my travel post on the gorgeous Betty Lou’s Library, whenever I am in Calgary, my friend and I make an effort to experience some live music as a love of music and a fascination of how it wields its magical power is what united us at university many years ago. So … More Travel | Studio Bell, National Music Centre, Calgary
One of my greatest loves in the world is live music. That can be anything from a huge arena pop concert, right through to being the only one in a venue listening to a two-man band just starting out. There is just something completely magical about the experience of live music, the music itself feels … More Travel | Betty Lou’s Library, Calgary
Every city has that special tourist attraction, doesn’t it? Somewhere that’s not actually that old or monumental but holds a special place in the hearts of its residents. On a somewhat alarmingly common basis, these little gems in a city tend to me a tower of some sort (I’m looking at you Seattle, Toronto, Auckland) … More Travel | Calgary Tower, Canada

Therefore you have to be somewhat selective about your exploring when you have a limited time in a city. There is … More Travel| Art and Beauty in Florence, Italy
During my most recent jaunt around Europe (intended to be an au-revoir to easy movement between the UK and Europe as Brexit loomed) we found ourselves with four hours in Pisa and nobody can say that we don’t sightsee hard because we made the most of every second of our four hours. Landing at Pisa … More Travel | A Piece of Pisa
On this cruise, dear reader, I fell in love. I fell in love in a way one rarely does; a tingling in the toes, excitement in the pit of the stomach sense of destiny feeling of love. No, dear reader, this was no mere mortal causing such stirrings, I fell in love with a location, … More Travel | Marella Celebration Around The Caribbean- Part 2 – St. Maarten
The beauty of being part of Europe is how easily and relatively quickly we can visit and experience lots of different cities. My latest city break adventure was to the beautiful Düsseldorf, which straddles the Rhine River in western Germany. I was there visiting a friend, which is always one of the best ways to … More Travel | Exploring Düsseldorf, Germany (Part 1)
Whilst downtown Calgary has plenty to offer, and the peaks of the Rockies are like a magnet for your gaze almost anywhere you step in the city, there is a world in-between the bustle of city life and the vast landscapes of the mountain range and in this hinter land is where you can find … More Travel | Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary, Calgary – Canada
