If you know, you know. The Whistler Train Wreck has been a popular attraction for many years, drawing in travellers of all ages. I'd seen a couple of photos from when Jordan last visited this abandoned train site and I had always wanted to explore it myself. Astoundingly, five years later, I am lucky enough…

“adventure is out there”
If you haven't checked out my short film on our trip into Canada, you should, it's great, the links here On another note, hello Vancouver! By the time we got to the hotel, the sun had retired for the day and my tummy was starting to grumble. Although my entire being just wanted to flop…
to the land of maple
You guessed correctly.. Canada! Jordan and I are packing our bags and moving our life across the world. With jobs and housing organised, we need only get on a plane. A much awaited trip, scheduled and rescheduled many times; turns out getting married and building a house takes time, who knew? So, here we are,…
italy / day twenty-six / arrivederci italy
Day Twenty Six was mainly spent travelling. We walked from our hotel in Florence to the station, but this time we took the back streets and it was quite enjoyable. I may have even detoured us past 'Roosters' in hope of a green juice to-go - great idea might I add! We arrived at the…
italy / day twenty-three / firenze
Late checkout has us steadily packing up and we soon walk to the train station for a quick bite before our train arrives at Port Nuova. We had a bit of trouble with our seats, but third times a charm. Once in Florence, we disembark the train and lug all of our bags to the…
italy / day twenty / torino
We had such an incredible time in Cinque Terre and were very sad to say goodbye. Unfortunately, we hadn't slept very well on any of the nights at the Airbnb. The rooms were quite nice at first glance, but the beds were disappointing and a sensor in the hallway kept loudly clicking the lights on…
italy / day eighteen / cinque terre
It's been a dream of mine to hike Cinque Terre and see the incredible towns that make up this iconic landscape and we are finally here! As we were only staying in Cinque Terre for two full days, the plan was to take the train to Riommagiore, which is the most southern of the towns, and walk…
italy / day seventeen / cinque terre
Jordan and I get up early and sneak in a workout before breakfast, then pick up some freshly washed clothes from the dry cleaners and some food for the train ride to Cinque Terre. We finished packing up our things and said 'arrevedici' to Roma. The train took approximately four hours to Pisa, from there…
italy / day sixteen / roma / ostia antica
We woke up early and headed down for a nice leisurely breakfast, before Pop's car arrived to take him to the airport. Although it was sad to see him go, it was a nice farewell and Pop made it to the airport A-OK. Ostia Antica was on the agenda for today and we were soon…
italy / day fifteen / roma
Pops last day in Italy was spent roaming rome (ha). We caught a bus down to the Campo di Fiori markets to checkout the scene. The place had such a vibrant buzz, full of lively street vendors and many locals shopping for fresh products, ranging from fruit and veg, cheese, flowers, nuts, chocolate, coffee, juice; the list…
