    Beginner’s Guide To New York City

    / Comments Off on Beginner’s Guide To New York City

    New York City – Bright lights and SO MUCH TO DO! So much in fact that it can be overwhelming to even know where to start planning. Neither of us are experts but have been a few times and felt comfortable to discuss what a beginner should see and do and stay – for some reason we don’t discuss where you should eat but I guess you will have to figure that part out for yourself. Whether you fancy a Broadway show or a professional sporting event or shopping or visiting Lady Liberty – the possibilities are endless and there really isn’t something for everyone. Listen in, get some advice…

    Cautionary Tale: Double & Triple Check When Booking

    / Comments Off on Cautionary Tale: Double & Triple Check When Booking

    In this Travel Tip Tuesday we discuss what NOT to do when booking your vacation! Meggan talks about meeting a great Canadian couple while in Cuba, who were there for 7 days, only to learn on day 5, when they were locked out of the room that they had in fact only booked a 5-day vacation! This is a valuable lesson that everyone should heed – double and triple check your reservations before hitting the BOOK button, especially on trips such as all-inclusive vacations and flights! Meggan and Peter obsessively check the calendar 4-5 times before someone eventually just has to say – BOOK IT ALREADY! Better safe than sorry!

    Always Pack This In Your Carry On

    / Comments Off on Always Pack This In Your Carry On

    Our first TTT!  We are so excited to add these fun, short episodes to our repertoire! We both abide by this tip and we wanted to bring this to the masses. When travelling, we all usually have a carry-on and it takes no time to pack a wee change of clothes in there because as we all know about life – you just never know.  If you don’t end up  needing it great but if you do, you will be so grateful you planned ahead! This change of clothes could look different based on your destination such as just a bathing suit if you are travelling somewhere warm or a…

    Underrated & Classic Canadian Destinations

    / Comments Off on Underrated & Classic Canadian Destinations

    The age-old debate of classic Canadian destinations versus hidden gems that are underrated! EVERYONE has an opinion! Since it is our podcast (boss babes haha), we got to decide where we perceive as being a classic and hmmm a bit over-visited, plus those spots we see as gems that are more overlooked but really should be explored! We had a lot of fun in this episode talking about the WHY behind visiting the hidden gems, some we haven’t been to ourselves but we know we added them to our list! And there was no hate toward the classics at all – we have been to them ourselves but we are…

    Fall is one of our favourite seasons and Nova Scotia has so much to offer during this time of year (all year actually but we might be biased). Join as we talk about all there is to see and do including seeing the beautiful foliage driving through this beautiful province but there is so much more!  Nova Scotia’s harvest comes due at the end of summer which means Fall is full of fruits and veggies and apple picking and corn mazes! Fall is also the perfect time to hike in Nova Scotia because the summer heat has waned a bit and it is easier to enjoy getting out there and…
