Me, peering out over the Seattle Waterfront, wondering how the heck Hom Bow tastes so good.
Seattle is lovingly referred to as The Emerald City because of its lush, year-round greenery. This Pacific Northwest paradise is also a food lover's dream. Its diverse culinary scene draws from its rich cultural influences - and the abundance of fresh, local ingredients available in the region.
Along with my goals for language learning (parli italiano?) and fitness, I have hopes and dreams for travel in 2024. Here I outline six destinations across two continents that I hope to visit this year.
The Portland Head Light is the most photographed lighthouse in America. It’s also the first place I traveled to this year.
All in all, 2023 was an absolute joy for me. This was the first year where I was truly comfortable traveling in a post-pandemic world. I was also forced to grow as my priorities shifted. Looking back on the last 12 months, I almost don’t recognize the 25-year-old who carried me halfway through the year. That’s a sign of a year well-lived.
I organized these hikes based on intensity so you can have an idea of what you’ll be getting into should you choose to join me on the trail.
Whether you're an explorer yearning to see this city’s diversity, a foodie seeking culinary delights, or a nature-lover eager to meander through lush urban parks and waterfront trails, I’m sure that Toronto will have something to captivate you.
