Chileans may only have two proper meals a day — breakfast and a big lunch — but don’t let that fool you into thinking they don’t snack. Between onces (their version of elevenses), street food, café treats and sweet traditions, there’s plenty to explore. And honestly… if I was in Chile tomorrow, I’d be stocking…

Volcanoes, glaciers and deserts are all breathtaking around Chile, but there is so much more to this country. Erika and I want to explore everything Chile has to offer — and that includes attractions perfect for families, curious travellers, and anyone who is a big kid at heart. I’m yet to grow up! 🎢 Fantasilandia…

If you’ve been following my weekly posts, you might have noticed something…Last Wednesday, nothing went up. And honestly? It didn’t feel right forcing myself to post something that didn’t feel like me. When I started “Wellness Wednesday,” I thought it would motivate me — but instead, it began to feel like I was writing for…

Chileans generally eat two main meals a day. The first is breakfast and the second — the real event — is lunch! Since it’s the biggest meal, lunch is hearty, family-centred and usually eaten a little later than many of us are used to, between 1–3pm. Businesses often close during this time, so don’t plan…

Last week we touched on the Chiloé Archipelago, with its colourful palafitos (houses on stilts) and the charming wooden churches, as well as the icy landscapes of Tierra del Fuego — home to vast glaciers and the world’s southernmost town, Puerto Williams. But that’s only a tiny glimpse of Chile’s enormous island world. Chile is…

I officially turned 40 yesterday. It’s crazy to think that by my 47th birthday, I’ll (hopefully) be celebrating on the road — and with many more birthdays for both of us still to come. So, since we’re exploring Chile this month, I thought I’d look at how Chileans celebrate their special day. 🍰 The Star…

After the spin of a wheel — which sounds like an interesting way to travel one day — it landed on Chile. I can honestly say I don’t know much about Chile, besides its location in South America and the fact that it’s long and thin! So much so that you could drive from the…

As we begin to explore the delicious foods of Chile, I wanted to start where most people begin their day — breakfast. It might not look the same as what we’re typically used to, since Erika isn’t exactly a morning person! Most school days, she grabs a breakfast bar before rushing out the door, and…

As October draws to a close and the air gets colder, I thought it would be fun to look at the myths and legends from each corner of the United Kingdom — as if the nations themselves turned up to a Halloween costume party. Each country holds its own stories of magic, mystery, and things…

No three-course meal is complete without dessert — and the UK has plenty of sweet treats to choose from. Each nation has its own signature favourite, and surprisingly, I’ve never actually tried any of these yet! But that just makes it more exciting for when we visit each place. Here are four desserts I’ll definitely…
