“In the end, we’ll all become stories.” – Margaret Atwood Screening across Canada on Tuesday, September 10th My first encounter with Margaret Atwood’s work was reading The Handmaid’s Tale for one of my English classes in high school.

This digital life we now live in has changed so much in the last few years and I believe it truly does affect our mental health – many times not it a positive way. I started my Instagram account as a hobby which slowly turned into a part-time job, but with being a ‘content creator’ came many responsibilities. These responsibilities impacted my mental health drastically to the point where I would push away my loved ones or have imposter syndrome…
This post is sponsored by Audible. All opinions are 100% my own. I hadn’t always been an audiobook listener, but when I was in university, I didn’t have much time to read physical books and I started listening to audiobooks via Audible instead. I would listen to audiobooks on my commutes to school or while I was doing chores around the house. I soon realized that if I got in the practice of listening to more audiobooks in my day-to-day…
Part 5: Vienna, Austria Another 3 to 4-hour train ride and we arrived to a city filled with art and music – Vienna. In every corner you could feel the rich history this city had to offer and the luxuries of life awaited in most corners of the inner city.

Part 4: Prague, Czech Republic Steeped in rich history and overflowing with charm, we took a 6-hour train ride from Hamburg to this stunning eastern European city in the Czech Republic and it stole my heart right away.

Part 3: Hamburg, Germany We took a 5-hour train ride from Amsterdam to one of the biggest and unique cities in Germany, Hamburg. With a long maritime history, this North Sea port city has a distinct feel from anywhere else in the country and tons of cool things to see and do. We also have family in Hamburg so one of our goals for the trip was to visit them. Things to Note While in Hamburg: Try to learn some basic German…
Part 2: Amsterdam, Netherlands As one of Europe most beautiful cities, Amsterdam is a wonderful place to see. I found my time in this city quite enjoyable. The endless canals which are usually decorated with flowers, lined with bikes and floating house boats, were frozen solid. The canals had not frozen in 6 years, so I thought that was a fantastic way to remember my first trip to Amsterdam. Things to Note While in Amsterdam: Even with the weather as…
Part 1: Paris, France The city of love and lights – I knew that my first trip to Europe had to be in Paris. It was one of the city I’ve always dreamed of visiting and when my cousin texted me one early morning in September asking me if I wanted to go to Paris since the flights from Icelandair were only $450 for a round trip, I practically screamed YES through text. Paris is one of those cities you…
