Hi! I'm Tammy
Welcome to my travel blog!Why start a travel blog?
Believe it or not, I have not always liked to travel. Most of my life, my food habits and tight budget led me to think there was no reason to leave home. I live in Western Canada, which is one of the most beautiful places in the world. My family and friends are here and between the mountains and the ocean, there are endless activities.
In 2014, my Mom was finishing her treatment for breast cancer. She always dreamed of going on a Caribbean Cruise, so as soon as she was well enough, my entire family embarked on a new adventure. It was an eye opening experience for myself. I learned:
- I love Caribbean cruises!
- You can always find pizza no matter where you are.
- There is so much more to see than what we have in BC.
- Travelling can be done on any budget.
In April 2015, the day before my youngest turned 5, I became sick. What started as partial paralysis eventually led to seizure-like episodes. It was so severe that I was hospitalized for 10 days while doctors ran every test they could think of. All tests came back normal and I was released from the hospital and told I was medically healthy. It was an adjustment for my family to learn to live with the strange condition where I randomly pass out for various lengths. This was when I realized that life is short and I wanted to enjoy it.
Since then, we have been on some amazing vacations. My husband and I try to plan a trip every year just the two of us. We also take the kids on as many vacations as we can, and travel for work when an opportunity presents itself.
Below are the adventures we have embarked on:
