Manchester: “How gay do you want it?” Me: “YES!” 😄
From all the rainbow flags and drag queen murals to a magical afternoon tea and a night out on Canal Street - this neighbourhood basically feels like a celebration of queer culture at every hour of the day. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Happy #IDAHOTB! 🌈
(Which stands for International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - aka an annual reminder that being kind and minding your own business is both free and sexy) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Hanging out in the water around my hotel 💦🏨🇨🇼
One of my favourite things about staying at the Art Hotel Curaçao is how connected it feels to the water, whether floating in the pool or climbing down the steps into the sea. 🐠
I found a few more that I haven’t shown yet! 😄🩲
With having my own private pool I didn’t actually need to bring any, but the rest of the property isn't clothing-optional so here's what I had to choose from. 😜
Which is your favourite out of this bunch? 👀
Adventures in Curaçao! 🇨🇼 If your vacation doesn’t include any “am I actually doing this?” moments… it should! On this trip I'm going from flying across the water on a jetski & scuba diving with the turtles to ziplining over nature & floating in an infinity pool with a cocktail.
If you don’t like colour, Curaçao isn’t for you. These streets are basically an open-air gallery! Murals galore & somehow every corner feels more vibrant than the last. Had to kick things off with a Pride mural that’s right in the main area of the capital city because, obviously.
Not your average flower field 🌷
I went to look at some flowers and ended up on a swing, a pink bench, and a yellow brick road. 💛
The Abbotsford Tulip Festival is basically a giant, colourful playground at Lakeland Flowers. 💐
Some highlights from my stay at Zoëtry Marigot Bay in St. Lucia - aka the place where your biggest daily decision is pool, beach, or another cocktail (for wellness, obviously). 🍹
I mean, if you do yoga in the morning I think you deserve a rum tasting in the afternoon. 🤷🏼���️
Not your average viewpoint! ⛰️👀 I spent an afternoon exploring Pigeon Island in St. Lucia - part mini hike, part pause every few seconds because it’s too pretty. 😍 The island is also home to old wartime ruins, which makes the whole place feel like a little step back in time. 💣
Serving looks with a side of questionable decisions! I brought an assortment of my most random/unusual styles of swimwear to wear in St. Lucia… I looked for the pairs that I basically never wear to find out which ones you think I should keep and which ones I should get rid of.
Warning: extreme vacation envy ahead 😎
My time at Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa is all about beachfront bliss, gourmet eats, and that unlimited luxury life. Basically, it’s the kind of place where your only real decision is pool, beach… or nap. 🤔
I’m in St. Lucia! 🇱🇨 From covering myself in volcanic mud to washing it off under a waterfall - along with snorkeling, beach time and a boat ride… I’m really absorbing all the highlights of this Eastern Caribbean island nation (quite literally, with this mineral rich mud). 💩
Canada's first Tulip Forest! 🌷
The flowers are just starting to bloom in what’s increasingly becoming quite the stunning photo opportunity - with two acres of vibrant blooms, amidst a magical forest backdrop. ✨🌳
Part of “Spring at The Farm” at Maan Farms! 💐
A weekend with my two best buds 🐶💕
We enjoyed some spingtime vibes with sunny walks, fresh air and tasty treats. 😋
10/10 would spend time hanging out with these guys again! 😍🫶
I'm a winner baby! 🤩
Last night I won the 2026 Confluence Award for Travel. Mind officially blown. 🤯
It's the first national awards program for Canada’s creator community and this is essentially my acceptance / thank you speech since I wasn't there in person.
So thanks!! 🤗
Warning: guy cleavage ahead! 🫣🤭😏
Moonies have come out with 3 new styles so you know I had to give them a try! These ones are called Warped, Aloha, and Black Swan.
