“I have lived in this town for most of my living life” our local guide shares with us, as he leads us through the cobblestone lane-ways of Chefchaouen. He knew every passerby, every vendor, every photo opportunity. He wanted to share its beauty with us. We followed him through the streets and markets of Chefchaouen, up to the Mosque in the… Read more →

Days 7-10: Winter Nights In Our Mongolian Yurt, 10 Winter Days In The Yukon
I’d never slept in a Mongolian yurt before, so you can imagine that it wasn’t too hard to convince myself that I absolutely HAD to experience it. And why not in the Yukon territory, in the snow? It was so random, yet probably one of the best random adventures I’ve been on. We arrived at night, a little tipsy from our detour to Yukon… Read more →
Weekend Stays Near Vancouver (For Nature Lovers)
I’m not a city slicker kind-of girl. The idea of spending the weekend confined to a cubicle in some giant skyscraper – 5 star or otherwise – isn’t really my idea of a romantic getaway, regardless of what google thinks. Don’t get me wrong, I love a little luxury and romance. Hot tubs and vino are my best friends. I just prefer to be surrounded by wilderness, wherever possible.… Read more →
Day 6: When Aurora Found Us “Off The Grid”, 10 Winter Days in the Yukon
Our last night on the Wheaton river had finally come. I wasn’t quite ready for it. I’d gotten used to ‘off the grid’ life. Storing perishable items in a cooler on the front porch had become normal. I was okay with not having phone reception. In fact, the lack of electricity meant that my mobile battery was always dead anyway, so it didn’t really phase me… Read more →
Day 5: Until the Fog Clears, 10 Winter Days in the Yukon
It was killing us. The few times we found WiFi, our Instagram and Twitter feeds were full of Aurora sightings. We couldn’t figure out why we were so unlucky. Why weren’t we seeing them too? According to the Weather Channel, the fog in the air was due to the recent, abrupt changes in Weather. When we first arrived in Whitehorse, it was the… Read more →

Day 4: Annie Lake & Snowfall, 10 Winter Days in the Yukon
With fog overhead, thick forest and partial-mountain views all around, it was hard to really process where we were. As we walked on top of Annie Lake, a frozen lake in the Wheaton River valley, we finally got a zoomed-out view of the landscape that has surrounded us for the past 3 days. We stumbled across Trapper Ray’s abandoned hut. The scattered belongings had me… Read more →
Day 3: A Traveler’s Christmas, 10 Winter Days in the Yukon
I’ve always wondered what a Traveler’s Christmas would be like. You know, the kind where everyone feels that communal sense of displacement and homelessness and can temporarily fill that void by sharing stories and traditions from their home country with other traveler’s from around the World? Well, this year I got to experience it. We experienced our first White Christmas… Read more →
Day 2: Snowmobiling, 10 Winter Days in the Yukon
After two failed attempts at seeing Aurora Borealis, our Northern adventure was in serious need of a little excitement and adrenalin. We needed to get things moving. So it was time to get skidooing! A skidoo, as Canadians call it, is more commonly referred to as a snowmobile. It is basically a motorbike built specifically for snowy terrain equipped with… Read more →
