Bowen Island is the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and settle into a simpler way of living—at least for the weekend. It’s close enough to Vancouver to make the journey effortless, but far enough to feel like a true escape.

There are summer vacations, and then there’s Muskoka in July—where mornings start with a quiet cup of coffee on the dock, afternoons are spent on the lake with a chilled rosé in hand, and evenings stretch long past sunset with good company and the scent of a crackling fire lingering in the air.

Palm Springs is the kind of place where time slows down just enough to remind you how good life can be. The air is warm, dry, and filled with the faint scent of citrus trees. The streets are lined with mid-century modern homes, each more impossibly chic than the last. And the people? Well, they understand the art of leisure—long mornings by the pool, leisurely lunches with a chilled glass of something fabulous, and cocktail hours that stretch into the golden hours of the desert.

The Canadian North is breathtaking in a way that’s impossible to put into words. It’s not just about the snow-capped mountains or the endless tundra—it’s about the feeling of being somewhere completely untouched, where the world feels bigger, quieter, and more magical than you ever imagined.

Calgary will always feel like a part of me—it’s where I became who I am today, and it will forever hold a deep love in my heart.And beyond the city, the Canadian Rockies never get old. Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise—each place is as breathtaking as the last.

The Okanagan in the summer is pure magic—warm evenings by the lake, wineries that feel like something out of a dream, and fruit so fresh you’ll never look at a grocery store peach the same way again.

The West Coast is magic. It’s where modern luxury meets untouched nature, where every meal somehow tastes fresher, and every view looks like a postcard. Flying over the mountains, sipping wine by the ocean, walking through ancient forests—it all feels surreal, no matter how many times you’ve done it. And if you leave without trying a Tacofino fish taco, doing a Cessna intro flight, or filling your suitcase with Salt Spring Island lavender products? You’re simply doing it wrong.

The Maritimes are woven into the fabric of who I am. The foggy mornings, the golden sunsets, the way the ocean air always smells just a little saltier here than anywhere else. And while I may not be living here full-time (yet), I know I’ll always return. Because some places are just meant to be part of you forever. And if you leave without a cozy wool sweater from a tiny shop, a deep love for fresh-baked bannock, and at least one boat ride where you swear you saw a whale? You’re simply doing it wrong.

Mexico has a magic to it that’s impossible to describe—I’ve been dozens of times, and every trip is better than the last. It’s hot, affordable, vibrant, and delicious, and there’s something deeply grounding about this part of the world. And if you come home without a suitcase full of mezcal, handmade textiles, and at least one sun-kissed afternoon nap under your belt? You’re simply doing it wrong.

Mexico City is a destination that captivates with its rich history, dynamic culture, and culinary excellence. Whether you're exploring its grand avenues or hidden alleyways, the city offers endless opportunities for discovery and delight. Embrace the journey with an open heart and a curious spirit, and you'll find that Mexico City leaves an indelible mark on your soul.

San Francisco is a city of contrasts—it’s old and new, refined and rough around the edges, glamorous but never too polished. You can spend your day hiking through the redwoods and your night sipping Champagne at a Michelin-starred restaurant. That’s what makes it so special. And if you leave already planning your next visit? Then you did it right.

Having spent nearly a decade as a flight attendant, I was lucky enough to visit Hawaii more times than I can count. From the moment I first stepped off the plane, I fell head over heels, and that’s when Triet and I’s love affair with Hawaii truly began. Over the years, we’ve explored every island, each one offering something spectacular—though I do have my favorites. So, if you’re planning a trip, allow me to give you my personal take on each island.

The Hamptons offer something for every taste and season. Whether you’re lounging on the beach, exploring a winery, or cozying up by the fire, it’s all about enjoying the simple pleasures in life—elevated, of course. Welcome to my Hamptons—let’s dive in!
