It’s been almost a year since my last check in, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that anything about my plans for a working holiday in New Zealand have changed. To the contrary, since January I have started feeling a little bit of fear and nervousness when I think about it. Today, I…
It has been a while, but what better reason to return than to share that I bought a plane ticket to Peru yesterday?! The trip isn’t until this June, but I have been planning it for several months already and yesterday I finally got the Scott’s Cheap Flights alert (if you don’t know about it…
So! I didn’t do a May check in because I just put it off too long and by the time I felt like doing it, the month was half over, and I still haven’t wrote up a post about my amazing time in Mexico. But so much has happened! And on top of that, this…
Happy April! I’ve been back from Mexico for almost a week and getting back into the swing of things. Only 11 weeks left in the school year until I’m finally free for the summer! We are officially in the home stretch. My trip was absolutely wonderful. I will make a post about it at some…
Two weeks. The trip that I was supposed to go on a year ago before the world shut down, the trip that I casually bought plane tickets for in November, not sure if it would even be possible, is finally only two weeks away. How long has it been since these pre-flight jitters? The excitement…
Happy March! I cannot express how happy I am for another fresh start. February was absolutely miserable and today the weather is gorgeous, I had a good day at work, my trip is less than 3 weeks away, and things just finally seem like they might get better again. In February I started I teaching…
In anticipation of my trip in March, I’ve been reading as many books as I can get my hands on that were written by Mexican authors or take place in Mexico itself. Here’s a bit of what I’ve been reading!: Gods of Jade and Shadow by Mexican-Canadian author Silvia Moreno Garcia was such a fun…
February already! It has been an awesome month for reaching goals and resolutions and I have spent most of it dreaming and scheming about Mexico. It is such a relief to finally have a trip on the horizon and keeping that dream in mind has been so helpful for my mental health and inspiration to…
I have been planning my trip to Tulum in fits and starts since last year. My then partner and I were just about to buy tickets for a week’s vacation in June when COVID hit. Ever optimistic, we talked of pushing it back to July or August maybe, but as we all know, it was…
A few years ago my grandma confessed to me that something she’s always wanted to visit Niagara Falls but now she’d never get the chance. She has COPD and her ability to move around independently has been gradually decreasing over the years. I have spent over a year brainstorming how I could make this dream…
