Looking back at 2024, a Minion perspective!

2024 isn't as big of a travel year as years past. This coincides with a small shift in my travel focus. At the end of 2023 I indicated that I wanted to take more trips with friends and family. I have been immensely fortunate to check off bucket list items over the years. For this year I wanted to intentionally focus on sharing experiences with others. So every trip this year, is with the...

So regardless of the different places visited the memories made are always going to be the "destination" for this trip. If you've spent anytime to read through the...

Good Morning Halifax We are in Halifax, Nova Scotia today. We start our morning in the familiar confines of the Lido Market for breakfast.

Boston Upon arriving in Boston,...
