Los Angeles
A city that has been on my bucket list for a long, long time since I was living in Venezuela and finally visited a few years ago. My first Los Angeles time was at the Oh Joy studio, where I took a tour of her studio and participated in one of her amazing blogger courses.

cartagena

Punta Cana
A family destination where the only things I have noted in my agenda are sun, sand, pool and relax. We looooove Punta Cana to unplug from our busy day-to-day especially staying in an all-inclusive resort, where you don’t need to worry about anything, just wearing your bathing suit and sunscreen.

An unforgettable experience, what a joy to visit Martinique! Only 5 hours away from Montreal, you can expect a paradisiac french island in the heart of the Caribbean, where pastries are french, the plantains are creole and the Martiniquais are pure soul.
