This summer I was thrilled to be invited to explore Kingston, Ontario’s food scene with my husband. I used to visit Kingston back in my university days (nearly 10 years ago!); my best friends attended Queens. So, it was great to be back and I was curious to see how the city has changed over that time.
My husband and I love to explore cities. Since we got married in 2012, we have been to over 25 cities, including London, Barcelona, NYC, Paris, and San Francisco.
The other night I had a dream that I was in San Francisco. As soon as I woke up I started sifting through all of my pictures of my time there in June. Do you ever go through old travel photos and think –
“Would you be willing to work in London for the rest of the summer?” asked my boss. “Of course!” I responded enthusiastically, not realizing that I’d be expected to have my bags packed in two weeks time. Needless to say,
Have you ever watched a movie or read a book without knowing much about it? I would recommend it. There is something about having no expectations, no pre-conceived notions in your head before embarking on a journey that makes it extra sweet.
NYC is addictive. No matter how many times I visit, I leave with an insatiable longing for more. Maybe it’s the high energy you feel while walking the busy streets. Or the countless number of things to do and see. Or maybe it’s the overwhelming variety of amazing food.
One of the things I love about travelling is the anticipation leading up to a trip. You spend hours looking up breathtaking pictures of the sites you will see and places you’ll stay. You browse the street-view on googlemaps to give you a preview of what’s to come.
