Travelling alone can seem daunting and scary at first, but rest assured you have it in you. When you travel alone you get to just think about yourself, which is something we don’t get to do that often.

I was excited to have been invited to experience the only Airbnb experience in Windsor, Ontario -- ‘Roasting Experience at 14th Coffee Co’! If you’re a coffee lover you too would recommend this experience to your friends -- I was captivated by the ambiance, the roasting experience, and the coffee!

The best part of a road trip is being able to have more freedom to make stops and the Pacific Coast Highway is worthy of some detours. Here are 15 breathtaking places that I recommend stopping at on your road trip between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

How we spent 4 days in El Segundo and Downtown Los Angeles on our trip to California. Everything from where our AirBnb was to where you can get the best pancakes! Our trip was a mixture of some classic tourist attractions to some cool off-the-beaten-path sights.

My Travelling Backpack is my virtual travel journal, a way to keep my adventures and memories alive. I have grown so much through the experiences that travel has afforded me and I want to share them with the world. This is how I got started and why I do what I do.

Over the past four years, I have been hiding my curls from the world while traveling through Europe, North America, and even Africa. On almost every trip I have been on, I’ve ensured that my hair is straightened or curled (with my straightening iron) so it is ‘easier’ to travel with and I could avoid the detangling pain. The times that I have traveled with my natural hair, my hair starts out as curls, then turns into mini dreads and inevitably ends up as a nest, because I constantly twist it up into a bun. If you are a fellow curlfriend, you know the struggle - this is when my journey with Devecurl started.

I have compiled a list of five essential tips to help you thrive on a budget in Tulum and explore to the max this typically pricey destination! Including the best way to get around, how to keep cool, and those pesky bugs!

To experience the Day of the Dead on the actual days (November 1st and November 2nd), Mexico Underground invited us to join them on two of their tours to get the full experience! We started the morning walking around the Jamaica Market. If you have been reading and following along the Mexico Underground blog series, you’ll know that we have visited quite a number of markets...but none of them were like Jamaica.

When you visit a city with a population of 131,348,979 or 1.71% of the world’s population (according to Worldometers) you need someone to show you the way. Thankfully, we were able to explore the neighbourhood of Condesa with the guidance of Ubish and Ninelth from Mexico Underground!

The walls speak in the historical center of Cuidad de Mexico (CDMX). They tell a story of struggle, rebirth, and creativity. Ubish and Ninelth from the experience company, Mexico Underground, really helped me to experience this story and understand where the art is coming from.

As we walked, we saw the transformation of Street Art. We saw its origins in the simple tags, and graffiti vandalism, and then, a few blocks further, we saw it transform into beautiful street art commissioned by the city. The commissioned murals tell a story of the neighborhood and of Mexico’s history.

In October 2018, I spent one week in the rich historical capital of Mexico City with my travel BFF. Our main goal of visiting Mexico City was to eat our way through the city while seeing as much as we could — thanks to the tour sponsorship of Mexico Underground we were able to make this happen.

In 12 hours I ate In-N-Out Burger for the first time, saw the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, visited two Fairmont Hotels, rode on the streetcar that Harvey Milk rode on, rode on all three historic cable cars that are left in San Francisco, met amazing San Franciscans and also the cutest couple, had a Buddha Beer (I took a bottle home as a souvenir) and got a great cardio work out by walking the iconic hills of San Fran. I seriously cannot wait to go back!

I got in a day early to check out the city and I felt completely out of place! Let me explain. I checked into the hotel, set my things down, got ready, and went to town. At first glance, Monterey seemed quaint and cute. There are many historical buildings (it was the original capital of the state of California) on the main road and many restaurants aswell! I started to feel chilly but I didn’t let that bother me too much. What was a little eerie is that it felt like I was the only person out and about! I barely saw anybody outside!
