This is the Best Street Food in Halifax Nova Scotia
Our home base is Halifax and we therefore spend a significant amount of time there, especially during the pandemic and lockdown when all the restaurants and shops were closed. However, once things reopened we decided it’s time for a Halifax waterfront street food tour. Summer is the perfect time to explore Halifax and the waterfront is a must visit! We are about to try some delicious Halifax street food.

8 dishes you must try while visiting Romania
Anyone that follows us regularly knows that one of our favourite things about visiting a new country is the food! We weren’t entirely sure what to expect before arriving in Romania, but we knew it would have Turkish and Eastern European influences, and be somewhat heavy and hearty. We definitely were not wrong. The food in Romania is especially appealing in colder months. Thankfully we visited Bucharest in late fall and had the perfect weather and temperatures to match the food style!
Where to stay in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia for every travel style and (almost) every budget
We just spent a fantastic summer exploring our own backyard, our home province of Nova Scotia (if you’re unfamiliar, it’s on the very east coast of Canada). A lot of that time was spent in the northern region of Nova Scotia, an island called Cape Breton.
Our “Escape from Home”: Discovering Indigineous Tourism in the Maritimes

How to take the bus from Santiago to Mendoza (and why you should)
Often when travelling for long periods at a time we tend to plan our next destination relatively last minute. While we were in Santiago, Chile, we spent quite a bit of time debating whether we should fly to Mendoza, Argentina or take the bus. Being fully aware that flying would be much quicker (the full flight is about a half hour) and still relatively inexpensive, we’d heard that although much longer, the bus ride through the Andes Mountains was one of the best in the world.

There are so many fun and exciting things to do and places to explore in Lima, however, one thing you absolutely cannot miss out on is trying Peruvian food!

Lima is a beautiful, historic city full of culture and has also experienced influxes of immigrants from other parts of the world, making their food interesting and diverse!
10 tips for choosing the right Airbnb
As frequent travellers, we inevitably end up using Airbnb a lot. Although staying in a hotel can be a lot of fun, there are definitely some distinct advantages to picking an Airbnb. You’ll potentially have access to a kitchen which means you can cook for yourself, you’ll likely have more space than a hotel, you get to essentially find out what it’s like to live like a local, all while plausibly saving a fair bit of money (compared to a hotel)!
