Penticton Travel Guide
Penticton is located in the Southern Interior of British Columbia, nestled between two lakes (Skaha Lake and Okanagan Lake). It is also the heart of BC’s wine region, with well over 90 wineries in the area. Here is my travel guide for what to eat, where to stay, and what to do in Penticton, BC!
Tofino Travel Guide
Tofino is our place. We’ve loved travelling here ever since Charlie was two years old, and it has stolen a piece of our family’s hearts. It is rugged and beautiful, and one of our favourite places to watch Mother Nature work her finest. Here is where we stayed, ate and played this year! Enjoy Our Tofino Travel Guide!
P.S. we take food VERY seriously. Visit here for: The Best Places to Eat in Tofino.
Victoria Travel Guide
Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, truly has it all. With a nod to its English heritage, its streets are filled with charming buildings, luscious gardens, and therapeutic oceanfront views—not to mention the vibrant food and drink scene! It’s no surprise it’s such a popular destination, offering everything from whale watching to high tea. Here is my travel guide for what to eat, where to stay, and what to do in beautiful Victoria, BC!
Whistler Travel Guide
If you’re dreaming of a mountain escape that blends adventure with luxury, Whistler delivers on every front. From world-class skiing to sun-soaked summer hikes and everything in between, this iconic BC destination offers something for every kind of traveller. One of our favourite ways to experience it all? Staying at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, where comfort meets alpine charm year-round
Nimmo Bay Resort Travel Guide
A roundup of my favourite Canadian spots wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Nimmo Bay.
Nimmo Bay Resort is a family-owned, intimate retreat nestled in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, within the Gwawenuk Territory. While often associated with the Haida Gwaii region, it’s located on British Columbia’s wild, remote coast—accessible only by air or water, which makes it all the more magical. From the world-class cuisine to the once-in-a-lifetime adventures, it’s a truly transformative place. If a wellness escape is on your bucket list this year, this one deserves a spot at the very top.

Love the travel guides!!! Do you have one for Vancouver? I’ll be there the last week of January, first week of February, 2026, attending a conference. I’ll be in meetings during the days but have evenings free from 4:30 p.m. on. I’m thinking about arriving a few days early so I can visit in the area. Suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!
