Winter is back again! The best way to enjoy the winter is to find some fun activities. Winter fun started with snowshoeing in Muskoka. Muskoka is cottage country in Ontario, it’s beautiful in both summer and winter.

Whale Watching in Ucluelet
Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. There is so much to do and everything is decorated so nicely.
The Distillery District
The City of Bath
About 2.5 hours west of London England is a city called Bath. It is also a Unesco World Heritage Site. As with most things in England, the city is old and has lots of history behind it.

There were many pubs with very good deals throughout the day Continue reading
I love Christmas!
This is my favourite time of year. I love the decorations, I love the Christmas music and movies, and I love visiting family and friends. It is a great time of year, lots of love.

The villages are very well preserved and same with the environment. Continue reading
The Cliffs of Moher
Make no mistake about it, this is one of the main attractions when you are visiting the Western Portion of Ireland. Most people have heard or read about the Cliffs but it is something totally different to experience this natural wonder in person.

The part where Harry Potter and Dumbledore are entering the cliff looking to destroy a Horcrux.
Costa Brava Region
Before we planned this trip I had never heard of this Northeastern region in Spain. It wasn’t until I read a couple blog posts I was convinced this was a place we needed to see. A couple hours north of Barcelona is Costa Brava. Bringing it up in conversation I was surprised how few people usually go to this region. This is easily one of the most picturesque places I have visited. Continue reading
