My description of the perfect vacation used to be visiting a sunny island where I could relax on the beach, sip cocktails and chat with my girls. Growing up in freezing Montreal, a sunny destination was really the only thing my heart desired.

When I started working full time, “vacation” took on a whole new meaning. The perfect vacation for me now is anywhere that allows me to get a break from work! Last December this was truer than ever. Wanting to get away from the city, I booked a last-minute ticket to Europe and took my first ever solo trip. After visiting London, Berlin, Dublin and Belfast I got a taste for non-sunny vacation destinations. Even better was how much I loved travelling alone. There is absolutely nothing like it!

Travelling has not become a passion of mine. So far I’ve vacationed on 3 continents, North America, Asia and Europe and I’d love to take a trip on the other 4 while I’m still living in my twenties.
