Alike most, I am well and truly into the swing of self isolation and buying everything that pops up on my Instagram ads; obviously because I need it and I can't possibly live without. The only time that I am not at home is when I go to the grocery store for an "adventure". To…

home sweet home
It's official, we have returned home. I'm currently sitting inside our humble abode amongst the hills, wearing some comfy activewear after a workout on the deck. I just ate some overnight oats with mango, as I listen to the sweet 'hold' music that myGov has graciously forced upon me. And when I say myGov, I'm…
somewhere over the rainbow
Most days went along the lines of 'Eat, Sleep, Gym, Repeat' up until we started work. In between, we chatted within our new estate and became friends with Rachel and Emma. Steering away from going crazy (and only just avoiding it), we ventured out to Rainbow Falls, positioned on the opposite side of Alta Lake;…
lost lake
We arrived in Whistler a day before my first day of work. Unfortunately, things didn't go quite to plan. I worked approximately ten hours over the span of a month before I even had part time work. Jordan didn't start work till later in the season either. This made it tricky. Moving to a new…
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 / 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…
