At the beginning of February, we took a one week get-a-away to Mexico. Edmonton winters are just too long for my blood. Thank goodness Mexico has gorgeous weather, amazing beaches and all inclusive packages :) What made this trip special? We booked this holiday back in September along with 8 other friends. This gave us something nice to look forward to.

My husband and I love to travel. Although majority of our trips are planned far in advance, this year, it was quite spontaneous. I recall receiving a call from my husband that he found a killer seat sale and booked two round trip tickets to London. For all the travel bugs, that are open to adventure and seeing lots while spending little, know that travel in and around Europe is easy as pie. Train, plane, bus – the options are endless and cheap if you’re flexible. So how cheap is cheap? Try $1 000 CAD for a one week holiday to Crete, Greece complete with travel by air, hotel, breakfast and for the two of us! The people I met and memories I have will be cherished in my heart. Thanks for all the laughs Ola & Cyprian!

I’ve seen quite a bit in my life, but nothing of this magnitude. This place was absolutely amazing. The food was to die for; the people were friendly and genuine. Shopping was spectacular. The scenery was breathtaking and the views in Santorini were epic.  I took some advice from an amazing photographer, Jesh de Rox, I met at one of the photography seminars I attended this year which was to travel without a map. I allowed my gut to guide me around this story book island and as a result, got the following shots. Please note, they do not give justice to reality.

Can’t wait to see what else our beautiful world has to offer!

The first time I met Adam was in 2007 at the Bangkok international airport. I got off a brutal 18+ hour flight at  2 o'clock in the morning.  Needless to say, I was no happy camper. The first person I met was Adam, who introduced himself as a group leader and the rest is history.
