London, England

Before heading to Paris for (another) work trip, I made a pit stop in London England to visit my friend Mara. She’s been living there since September studying for two masters degrees. She lives on the outskirts of London. My flight arrived just as the sun was rising over London. I have to say, one […]

Mequon, WI

On Dec 31st, I was asked if I could make it to a series of meeting in Mequon, WI Jan 8-10th. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make it because my manager was going to be on vacation until Jan 4th and I need her approval to book any travel. I […]

52 Places

Not any new content here, I just wanted a list of all the new places I went in 2018 in one spot. And some stats, because I’m nerdy like that. 2018’s New Year’s Resolution: go to a new place each week of the year. Status: Successful. Pita Land Portland, Oregon Lake of Bays, Ontario Com […]

Place #51: AirBnb on Queen

Toronto is a fun place to be in December, as most large cities are. There are Christmas markets, lots of pretty lights, skating rinks, and lots of other fun Christmas-y things to do. So when a couple of Justine and I’s friends were going to be in Toronto on the same weekend mid December, it […]

Place #50: Au Pied de Cochon

Paris was, once again, fantastic. I’ve told you all before about how the office is a fun place to be and the team there is always super excited to see us, so I won’t go into that much. Just know that one day after work, we had a Nerf gun fight at the office. Place […]

Place #49: Brugge, Belgium

My manager was once again sending me back to Paris, so this time I decided to take a couple vacations days beforehand and go on a mini trip before heading to Paris. Since it was going to be easiest logistically to fly into Paris, I wanted to go somewhere that was relatively close. I was […]

Place #47: Bannock

At work, I was up until recently the unofficial social committee for the UX team in Toronto. It mainly consisted of deciding what restaurant we would eat at. But I no longer hold this role, because: The UX team in Toronto only consists of two people now and any time we want to do something, […]

Place #46: 7 Baker

Despite the fact that we had been out early the night before, we decided to go to the 9am church service. It ended up being the beginning of a really nice morning. We weren’t super tired and it wasn’t as cold as it had been previously in the week. The sun was also shining for […]

Place #44: State & Main

I was in London over the weekend, so I took the opportunity to see my friend Reagan. She doesn’t live in London, but it’s closer than Toronto, so I try and see her when I’m back in the area. Place #44: State & Main Kitchen & Bar, 671 Wonderland Rd N, London, ON N6H 0H9 I […]

Place #42: Fondue ChongQing

I was yet again in Paris this week for work (for those starting to lose track, it’s the third time this year). Streets in Paris around the office are starting to become familiar and I know a lot about the cafes and hotels in the near vicinity. And just like last time, there was no […]
