TORONTO GIRL CHRONICLES

When I first moved to the city and started working, travelling was the last thing on my mind.  I don't even think it was on my mind at all. I did go to Cuba with my anti-resort culture mother (meaning we went out and explored) and that kind of inticed me, but never in a million years did I think I could conjure up the courage to travel alone. Then I met Marj, a girl that has been to more places than I could possibly list, some of them in great company, some of them alone. She would tell me about her adventures in London, Spain, Greece or India and my brain would go wild with desire to see and experience these places myself.

So I took it slow, I stuck to this continent. I went to South America, where I have family (so this was cheating) and I went to Miami for a lonesome weekend (my birthday), then Montreal, until I felt ready to go out there (to the other side of the world) on my own.  It was one of the most liberating experiencies and later I will write a post on how to do it, but for now, I want to tempt you just a little bit by showing you some pictures and sharing some links to get you inspired.
