Salvador, Brazil [SSA]

#tbt #brazilseries If you happen to stopover here on your way to another bahian beauty it’s worth the exploring – with a disposable camera, after semi-panicked warnings from locals we met throughout the state. In retrospect, it gives our pictures a funky little glow. We didn’t feel it was worth the 3 day stay the […]

Boston, MA [BOS]

I escaped to Boston 2 weeks ago to serve academic purposes and used my spare time to explore the North End, the city’s oldest residential community, also known as Boston’s Little Italy. If you’re short on time (or money), just grab a piece of pizza at Ernesto’s (I’d highly recommend the fried eggplant and fresh […]

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [SDU]

And the tales from Rio continue. So on one of our nights we made our way to Centro and we stumbled upon Pedra do Sal where we pretended to know how to dance to live samba music. An incredible atmosphere where you get to throw back the best caipirinhas in town (we are not saying […]

Lençois, Brazil [SSA]

Its official, we’ll be back in Brazil in March! So hyped! To keep you hooked here’s a #tbt #brazilseries from the state of Bahia. After an 8 hour bus ride we finally arrived in this cute gem of a town somewhere in the middle of Bahia. Lençois is a cobble-stoned little cozy place most people pass […]

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [GIG]

Cidade Maravilhosa – is quite possibly the most accurate description of Rio de Janeiro, where the marvels manifest themselves at every turn of your head. Set in a surreal location, this gigantic hustle-bustle Brazilian epicentre is the perfect marriage between nature and urban sprawl, green and concrete and glitz and ghetto. There are islands that go […]

Itacaré, Brazil [IOS]

#throwbacktrip #brazilseries kickoff Itacaré is a destination that comes to you by word-of-mouth, most likely from some long-term semi-learned backpacker you’ll cross in a hostel lobby over morning coffee. A remote Brazilian surf town where life is slow, days are run by the sun and the waves, and beach crabs roam the streets at night […]

Miami, FL [MIA]

Notorious party strip possibly only less sinful that Sin City herself, South Beach is a place for sun, siesta and sundown madness. Its north-meets-sur laid back attitude combines with just enough glitz to keep you coming back in your 6 inch heels. At least I keep coming, anyway. And there is something for all sabors… […]

Toronto, ON [YTZ]

Markets are to be discovered in this grid of a town. We took a walk along College Street just west of Yonge in search of Kensington Market. Hidden in the little streets that so starkly contrast with Spadina and Dundas, you need to know where it is to be able to find it. The bicycle […]

Niagara Falls, ON [IAG]

For the avid natural world wonder seeker, Niagara Falls is a must-see spot just a hop away from Toronto or Buffalo. It’s impressive, loud, and you can get pretty close to the powerful liquid forces aboard the famous Maid of the Mist, or even go behind the falls if you like, and all that Jazz. […]

Toronto, ON [YYZ]

Toronto is the complete opposite of Montreal. It’s big, expansive, English, and crawling with Leafs’ fans that have finally seen their team make it to the playoffs. Well, the first round. The skyscrapers are higher than the ones back home. The supermarkets are bigger. The streets are wider. The Starbucks, more numerous. So where do […]
