Sweat, smoke and sarees
Well, it’s our third day in India and we’ve already experienced a lot: a festival, a temple, an ashram and the gate of India, just to name a few. Yesterday we accidentally stumbled upon the biggest festival in India. It’s called Ganesh Chaturthi and it’s pure insanity. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many … Continue reading
Jai ho!
Hello from India! I just met up with my friend Cayley at the Mumbai airport. Our first impression of India? It’s 3am and it’s steaming hot. Well, it’s monsoon season, so at least it’s not raining! On our drive from the airport to our hostel we saw about a million strands of Christmas lights strung everywhere, a … Continue reading

A safari in pictures
While I lost most of my photos due to a memory card issue, I managed to make a slideshow with the pictures I’ve taken in the last three days (it’s set to Lion King music, obviously). I also made a YouTube channel to make posting videos easier, so hopefully there will be more to come!

On the flight here, almost every single white person was wearing cargo pants and/or shirts, it was totally hilarious. Spot the people … Continue reading
Leaving on the (morning) train to (Amsterdam)
Bonjour! First: Just in case you can’t get enough of the my stylings, there’s more! I’m also blogging for my local newspaper’s website, The Oakville Beaver. You can find that blog here. Now: I’m currently on the train back to Amsterdam from Paris, and my last few days have been great. My train into Paris the … Continue reading
I have arrived!
Well, I’m officially (almost) done the first day of my trip and it feels great. Getting here wasn’t the best experience, but it was worth it. Here’s what I learned: a) Don’t rely on people to make your food quickly when you have to make a flight. While I was waiting on my $13 (!!) … Continue reading
Away we go.
This is it! My last day in Canada for a while. My flight leaves at 5:30 tonight, and I still have so much to do it’s ridiculous. I’ll post a picture of my pack soon hopefully, but just know I could definitely smuggle a human (kidding Feds!). I know I’m forgetting things but whatever. My … Continue reading
