If you ever go to Toronto, the Toronto Islands are NOT something that you want to miss. The islands are accessible by boat, whether that be by ferry or by water taxi. Personally, I prefer taking the water taxi because you are closer to the water and it’s quicker. But that’s just a personal preference. In this guide, I’m going…

During our spring visit to Barcelona, my husband and I were looking for a restaurant that felt special but still relaxed. We wanted something with great food, a bit of charm, and a local feel without being overly touristy. BarcelonaMilano was recommended to us by a friend who lives in the city, and it ended up being one of the best dining experiences of our trip. We visited in April, mid-week, for a relaxed dinner. The reservation process was easy. We booked on the same day, thanks to a recommendation from a friend who loves in the city. That’s proof that the best restaurants aren’t always the most hyped but the ones that locals love going to. First Impressions Tucked away in the Eixample district, BarcelonaMilano blends the best of two food worlds: Catalan and Italian. From the moment we walked in, we loved the modern, slightly industrial design. The open kitchen setup gave it an engaging, dynamic energy, while the soft lighting and cozy tables kept it romantic. It wasn’t too loud or too quiet, just the right level of background noise to enjoy conversation while…
Oasis Wildlife is in the south of Fuerteventura, amongst the volcanic landscapes. It offers an unexpectedly magical day out for families, couples and animal lovers of all ages. What I liked, compared to other zoo-like places, is its commitment to animal welfare and ethical tourism. We visited during our family holiday to El Cotillo, a coastal town in the north. Since we were renting a car, we decided to make the drive down south, which took around two hours. The journey itself was scenic, winding through desert-like roads and small towns before arriving at the oasis-like entrance of the park. Feeding Giraffes, Llamas & Riding Camels One of the first things we did, and the most unforgettable, was feed the giraffes like you can see in my…

Cape Town is full of vibrant neighborhoods, but Bo-Kaap is probably the most visually iconic, a hillside of candy-colored houses, cobbled streets, and deep cultural roots. I had read about it, seen dozens of photos online, and was excited to wander through it myself. But our experience wasn’t what we expected. While the place itself looked as charming and quirky…
Cape Town is a beautiful city and I was very excited to visit. One question that was on my mind though was « Is it safe enough? ». I’d researched immensely online and read a few contradicting reviews about the place. I even watched a video where a woman described her experience getting robbed and also fell upon a few horror stories…
