The end of 2019 has been filled with travelling to new and exciting places! It’s been a bit of a whirlwind of not knowing the day or time zone but I’ve loved every minute of it! Before Justin and I started our Hawaii vacation we decided to have a quick stopover in Vancouver since it was on the way and we had never been! We had an amazing 3 day 2 night stay and I can’t wait to share with you our fave Vancouver spots. I love love love Vancouver’s laid back coastal lifestyle mixed with the urban city life!

Hi guys! I write this as I am on a flight from Calgary to Chicago. Pretty crazy that there is WiFi this high in the sky. If you’ve been following along on Instagram you might have seen me go on and on about how I am too chicken to check a bag these days due to lost luggage, etc. After backpacking in Costa Rica a couple of years ago, I began to realize how little you actually need when traveling. For that trip, I had only a backpack for 2 weeks. Since then, I am pretty determined to only pack a carry on when possible. If you are traveling to warmer climates, it’s a lot easier to pack with only a carry-on. It’s when you start to run into fall and winter months that this gets a little tricky.
