Road trips weren’t exactly top of my list for 2020 summer getaways. Sure, I love a weekend lake trip here and there, but this summer, road trips will be our vacay bread and butter. It’s better than catching COVID, so […]
In fair Verona… jk, Roma… the weather was as stifling hot as it was in Florence. The streets were only buzzing with tourists, because the locals knew better than to stick around in the heavy, humid heat. Alex and I […]
Our first stop in Italy was Florence. We only had three days to spend in the land of pasta and bruschetta: one in Florence and two in Rome. While I’d driven over the border from Monaco for dinner years ago […]
Following our crazy stay in St. Tropez, we took an Uber to Monaco. Thankfully, our final way-too-long-on-winding-SOF-roads Uber. I love Monaco. If you can see past the crowds of gawking tourists, it’s full of seaside beauty and refinement. So, while […]
Is there anywhere you’d rather be on a hectic workday than sipping a glass of rosé in the south of France? If you answer yes, you probably shouldn’t subscribe to my content, because this is sort of my vibe. Our […]
Sure, this isn’t my first post about Paris or my second time visiting. I fall in love with this magical city every time I step foot on its uniform streets. Can you blame me? This trip was something special. It […]
Have you ever seen the show Grace and Frankie? Within the first thirty minutes of episode one I texted my girlfriend, “OMG! They made a show about the future us!” Jenny is truly the Frankie to my Grace. In fact, […]
Writing this from chilly Vancouver is a struggle and a half. But, doing it with our rescue pup on my lap is lessening the blow. Yep, we did that. Keep reading… Leading up to Christmas, there were the usual murmurings […]
British Columbia: born here, raised here, now living back here. Needless to say, this isn’t my usual A Broad Abroad post. Both of my parents were born outside of Toronto, and moved west days after getting hitched. Years later, on […]
Ibiza is to my adulthood as Disneyland was to my childhood: There’s no happier place on earth. So in honour of my favourite island ending yet another season, here’s a little peek at it from my perspective. From the second […]
Spoiler alert: There’s a discount code at the bottom of this post. #getit! It’s no secret that I advocate travel, exploration, and getting out of your comfort zone as much as possible. One of my deepest beliefs is that human […]
If your car breaks, you take it to a mechanic. If you need a medical opinion, you go to a doctor. If you want to be in the loop on the ever-evolving trends in swim fashion, you speak to Jen Rainnie. Seventeen […]
“I’m so overdue to be sun-kissed, I need more of a sun-make-out.” – Me, that one time. The time has come to book spring vacations for a dose of vitamin D… If you’re looking for the perfect locale for a quick get […]
As an annual ritual, my girlfriends and I make the trek from the city up to Whistler for a weekend of girlie bonding. (aka: drinking too much wine and making comments that would make the guys cringe.) A lot has changed in nine […]
