Amongst the places most beloved by friends on their Spanish adventures was San Sebastián, or Donostia as it is known in Basque. Heeding that, I decided to fly northward from Barcelona to Bilbao before taking a 1-hour bus to San Sebastian. The flight itself was only 1 hour gate-to-gate, and while I’m sure the train …
This June, I checked off another travel bucket list item by going to Spain, where I had an absolutely magnificent time. I had wanted to visit since seeing Vicky Cristina Barcelona in my 20s – finding the warm, golden hues of the city and the Spanish wine (and guitar) to be appealing prospects. Going as …
I really enjoyed Megan Park’s first feature film – The Fallout – so I was eager to see My Old Ass, which stars Maisy Stella (who went viral at 8 years old for singing a cups-infused “Call Your Girlfriend” cover with her sister Lennon) and Aubrey Plaza. Aubrey Plaza is THE MOMENT right now, starring …
A lot of people have been finding this blog by way of a post I made a couple of years ago on My Favourite Novels With a WLW Focus , so I thought I’d do a refresh with new books I’ve subsequently enjoyed. Here are my additions from over the last two years! 6 Times …
It’s been a remarkable 19 days in Paris full of remarkable feats of mental and physical strength. These Olympics have been such a joy to watch, full of beautiful Parisian scenery and crowds of fans that were deeply missed during Tokyo 2021.

I finally checked off another major Canadian city off my list! I decided to extend my most recent trip back East and fly from Toronto to Montréal for three nights. Wanting to avoid the chaos of Pearson Airport, I instead opted to take a small propeller plane out Billy Bishop airport, which saw me flying …
The Great Total Solar Eclipse of 2024 has come and gone, and even for experiencing it “by proxy”, it was quite an emotional experience. As with so many wondrous celestial events that happen overhead here – it was cloudy – and I didn’t see any noticeable change to the light levels beyond that of a …
Women’s college basketball has been popping off like never before, and with good reason. Basketball prodigies, like Caitlin Clark dropping infamous “logo threes” (shots launched from so far away that the shooter is still standing on the center court logo), are making highlight reels and drawing huge viewership — now that women’s games are actually being …
On April 8, 2024, parts of North America will be plunged into darkness for the longest total solar eclipse to hit our continent in around 100 years. A total eclipse itself is only possible by sheer cosmic coincidence – with the Sun’s diameter being 400 times larger than the Moon’s and the Sun being almost …
I have just returned from my second annual pilgrimage to Palm Springs to watch the Indian Wells tennis, and experience the joyous rapture of wearing shorts in early March. Both trips have been fantastic – full of sun, hikes, and daily margaritas. Here are a few of my favourites outdoor adventures from my time in …
