People love to ask this question... "How do you make time for travel?" Truth be told, time off can be extremely limited depending on what you do. However, it's not impossible to still make it happen. If you plan your time off with long weekends for example, you might be able to squeeze a short trip in. Did you know you can fly to Caribbean in less than 5 hours? Most sun destinations leaving from Toronto for example, leave in the morning, meaning by the time you get there, you still have a chance to use the day to explore. A friend and I flew to Turks & Caicos for the weekend a few months ago. While some destinations in the Caribbean, such as Turks, may be very expensive, you can still budget your way around your trip to ensure you don't go over your spending limit. For example, we chose a cheaper accomodation near the airport, rather than one near the beach. We rented a car to get around the island. This way, we were able to explore a lot of beaches and hidden gems on the island. You can find a complete beach guide to Providenciales on my blog if interested to see how we made the most of our time. ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

Name a hobby more expensive than travel ✨️ Looking for a fun idea this summer? Why not try something new and learn to fly? You don't need to get a pilot license to take your first flight. All you need to do is book an introductory flight. You can even go flying with a friend to make the experience one to remember. Booking even just 1 flight is a great way to see if aviation is something you want to pursue or keep as a hobby. I love flying and I'm always jetsetting off to somewhere near when I can. However, when it's not possible to do so, exploring my own backyard isn't a bad idea. The views over Collingwood and Wasaga Beach were stunning and quite honestly, I preferred the view of the beach from up top than driving by it and seeing it so crowded and smelly. What's your favourite hobby? ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

Jamaica is calling! While the Caribbean is mostly known as a resort-focused destination, it has much more to offer. Just like a pearl found at the bottom of the ocean, the treasures we seek will never be within reach. You have to be willing to dive deep for it. In Jamaica, I spotted very tourists at the places we went. Imagine having a beach with many chairs available, or places where you get to interact with locals. After traveling across all 7 continents, all of my best trips have been the ones where I've either allowed myself to get lost, gone out to explore the place (with no set destination in mind) and/or go where the locals go. ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

The grand finale. The dessert spread consisted of beignets, banana bread and chocolate cupcakes. The beignets were topped with a passion fruit sauce and the banana bread had its very own chocolate sauce. 100% plant-based dessert with the best coffee, Jamaican blue mountain coffee (coming from someone who doesn't even drink coffee). A passion project turned to a culinary experience like no other. Exclusively @stushinthebush, hosted by Chris & Lisa. What would you try? ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

Part 2 of one of the best culinary experiences! It is truly an inspiration to see the meticulous work that goes into crafting a work of art. My mind is blown after tasting plant-based food on a whole new level. From the blend of two cultures into one to create the perfect pasta, to learning about the stories behind every dish and seeing how different ingredients are used together to transform every bite into magic. I additionally loved the extra touch of creativity when it came to the utensils used adding to the aesthetics and contributing to the overall experience. Have you ever tried plant-based food? ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

Would you believe me if I told you everything pictured here is 100% plant-based? This culinary experience has to be one of my best and most memorable ones. The overall thought of it I'd s constant reminder of the beauty of art in all its forms. Food is an art which carries the flow of time. One bite takes you back to a place, a moment, or allows you to create a new memory. It is a comprehensive work of art that leverages all human senses. With every dish, a chef reveals a piece of their heart. ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

Let's talk street eats... Do you eat street food when you travel? Personally, I try to avoid it, as I don't want to risk getting sick. However, the past few times I've been to Asia, I couldn't help but visit their night markets and try some of the food. Asian night markets are something else, with usually a wide selection to choose from. On my most recent trip to Indonesia, I signed up for a food tour without knowing that we'd be trying street food. Every stop turned out to be very good. We tried satay (chicken skewers), martabak (made with eggs), soto ayam (chicken soup) and more. Street food is a great way to get an authentic taste of the place you're visiting. ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

The most important lesson you’ll ever learn is... Don't wait for life to happen, make it happen. Everything you want in life: - is only a prayer away - needs hardwork and dedication - is possible as long as you believe you can do it - is closer than you think I went from flying around the world, to learning to fly. It's easy to look at others lives and think "wow, they're so lucky," but every picture you see is only a highlight, and doesn't even tell the story of a thousand words. It's similar to when you read a book and the author leaves you on a cliffhanger. Find your own dreams and follow it, don't worry so much about what others are doing, but you can think about the lessons from the stories you read and learn from them. Can you guess the destinations in the video? ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

I have a confession to make 👀 I'd say 90% of the time, I'm least drawn to the places people tend to hype a lot. The problem is when you hear something so hyped up, you get bigger expectations of it. So it's no surprise when you get disappointed when it doesn't turn out exactly how you'd imagine it to be. One of the islands I was most excited to visit on my Greece trip was Mykonos. I've seen so much of it through others' pictures and videos that I wanted to see it for myself. I was so glad that it turned out to only be a cruise stop for 1 day for me, as I quickly realized that just 1 day is enough. Why, you may ask? While the island itself is stunning and I especially loved the blue waters, the pink flowers and the white buildings, it didn't take a lot of time to conclude that Mykonos is a party island. My favourite places always tend to be the ones I find by myself or through locals, the ones where I can have the place to myself (I hate crowds). Forever opting for the road less traveled. ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

Unpopular opinion: summer in European is overrated. I'm not saying to not visit Europe at all, I'm just saying to push your trip to another time of the year. Forget about a European summer, Alaska is where you need to go. If this is not yet on your list, add it asap! It will not disappoint. We all know how crowded and expensove Europe is in the summer time, so why not visit Alaska instead? You can fly directly to Alaska and take a roadtrip. You can get to Alaska by car via Yukon or you can get there by cruise. Opting in for a cruise was a great way to see the depths of Alaska that cannot be experienced from land. I especially loved the glaciers and landscapes that left me speechless. Is Alaska on your list yet? ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

Escape with me to the Norwegian fjords. There is no doubt that I'm a nature lover. I'll pick the mountains over cities any day. Growing up, I was part of the Scouts club and would often go camping. The positive experience made me fall in love with the woods more. I can sit for hours enjoying the view and listening to the sounds of birds chirping. Whwn I first decided to choose a cruise vacation over a city break or a roadtrip, I found that the itineraries I was most interested in were the ones with visits to the national parks or remote places. Norway made it to the top 5 on my list. What I love most about being out in the middle of nowhere and getting to experience a place in its raw beauty, is the peace you feel. Most of the time, you can find me on the deck or seated by a window, just enjoying the view in awe. I love being able to see the different landscapes. It's the perfect time to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Is Norway on your list yet? ***** Keep it humble & spread ❤️

Come to a Thai cooking class with me. Booking a cooking class when abroad is your chance to chef it up! Learn a new dish while you embrace a new culture. We booked an afternoon cooking class on one of our first days in Thailand and doing so, was the best introduction to the country that we could've gotten. Thai food is one of my all-time favourites, so it only made sense to learn the secrets to a good Pad Thai. Most of the cooking classes will first stop at the local market, where you can learn about the ingredients used in Thai cuisine and then you'll proceed to the cooking school, which may be either in a household-type setting or on an organic farm. There, you will also learn more about the fresh produce used. You can choose what to cook based on the menu available and you'll be then separated (but still in the same class), based on what you want to cook. Once done, enjoy your meal and you get to go home with an e-book full of recipes for you to replicate what you learned, from the comfort of your own home. Whether or not you already know how to cook, I suggest booking a cooking class when abroad as the experience is quite fun and you get a 2-in-1 experience (dinner + an activity).
