It feels like we have done an endless amount of posts on Paris, but here’s another photo-heavy one (we can’t help it – we love that city so much and we were there for three weeks!). This will be the last one for a while – I promise!
Point One: The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday. It’s where families come together to celebrate and remember loved ones who have passed on. Point Two: The Day of the Dead commences at November 1 and ends November 2. Okay, so why the heck are we writing about the Day of the Dead?…
Hello people. After documenting a small portion of the graffiti and street art in Toronto, Bogota, Valparaiso, and Buenos Aires, it was inevitable that I would pick out my favourite shots from Paris.

Rainy days when you are travelling can be a bit of a pain in the neck. There’s exploring to do and you just want to take everything in before you leave. Rain has been in the forecast here in Paris. We’ve had some on and off at first, but more recently we’ve had a run…
