Few things get me more excited than visiting a new city. I tried, I really tried – but the countryside just doesn’t do it for me. Sure, it makes for a nice Sunday afternoon ride. A weekend getaway. But living there permanently? I’d say “Someone pass the arson” before I’d even reached the destination! So when this week’s theme was announced, I was beyond myself. I thrive in cities –   Read More ...

Fact 1: I travel for a living. Fact 2: I have a bad case of photography obsession. Fact 3: I have way too many beautiful, scenic photos to share. Fact 4: Many of them, however, are of Morocco. To celebrate the latest edition of #FriFotos, whose theme this week is “VIEWS”, and also to remedy to the fact that I haven’t written about Morocco in a while, I figured I   Read More ...

Another week, another #FriFotos! The theme today is “chairs” – not much interpretation there. I decided to pick the traditional sense of the word, and show you a few pictures of my favorite chairs around the world. You’d be surprised by the great photos I found in my archives! As you know, I had a lot of fun during my daytrip to the Eastern Townships vineyard – but wine being   Read More ...

Quebec City is a sight to behold year-round, but there’s something magical about it during the Christmas holidays. The city is covered in an iconic but always welcome blanket of snow, and the sun sets at around 4PM – all the better, because that means we can enjoy the Christmas lights longer. The Public Library was definitely one of the highlights of my recent trip to New York. I had   Read More ...

Yes, I know. Another #FriFotos. But I can’t help myself when the theme is so inspiring! So, bridges around the world – that’s quite an open theme. Let’s see where I’ll be taking you today… First stop: Amsterdam. If there’s one thing the city is known for – that’s not illegal anywhere else – it’s the canals. And of course, with canals come bridges. Many, many of them, more often   Read More ...

I’m a sucker for good clouds. I often find myself photographing them, regardless of the inquiring looks of people around me. “But what is she looking at?” Clouds, people. One of the simplest things on the planet, and yet often one of the most striking, too. There’s just something about clouds that, ironically, keeps me grounded, keeps me in check that I am merely human, mortal, relatively short-lived and that   Read More ...

Sunshine. Al fresco apéro. Sangria. Oddly-shaped sunburns. Oversized sunglasses. Sunsets at 10PM. Summertime and the livin’s easy ♫  In celebration of this wonderful season – and trust me, when you live in a place where winter is 6 months long, you WORSHIP summer – I came up with a series of photos for this #FriFotos edition that I hope will show just how much I love this season. And since I   Read More ...

Instead of doing the traditional photo post for #FriFotos, whose theme this week is “for sale”, I decided to focus on my favorite market on the planet, namely Borough Market. To me, it’s one of the handful of places that should absolutely be on any London itinerary, because it’s an interesting, different and super fun way to truly experience the city. Here are 5 reasons why I love Borough Market   Read More ...

Another Friday, another instalment of #FriFotos! This week’s theme is museums. I’ll start by being really honest there, at the risk of being judged for my poor tastes and low cognitive: I’m not the biggest fans of museums. I’ve visited my share, and to be completely blunt, they bore me to death most of the time. I do not understand modern art. I’m a fairly simple, direct kind of gal, and   Read More ...

Another Friday, another #FriFotos installment. This week’s theme was open to interpretation: holy places. I decided to stick to the traditional definition of it (mostly anyway), and share my favorite photos of churches around Europe and America – not an easy task, because as you might know, Europe has more than its share of churches and cathedrals, to say the least. After living in Europe for 2 years now, I think   Read More ...
