Your must read travel round up 🫎
Hello from Canada 👋
Yes, I’m still here, but I’ve now moved on to Vancouver! And I’m hoping my travels may explain why this week’s newsletter isn’t as jam-packed as it usually is - it’s been full on! But I still wanted to check in and share a few behind the scenes moments from our trip so far.
They say the weather in Vancouver is like London!!
And whilst the sun did come out for our first day, the grey skies and constant rain does make it feel quite like home!!
Lime scooters have helmets here!!
It does make you question why this isn’t the case elsewhere, no?! But then again, I think I only saw about one person use theirs - everyone else just razzed about everywhere with the helmet still on the handlebars 😆
Maple syrup is life
Now, we all know that Maple Syrup is a Canadian thing but I was not ready for how many times I spotted the flavour in the supermarket shelves. I couldn’t resist these nuts and my god, they are exceptional. So carry on Canada, carry on.
There will be loads more about this trip in the near future, but for now I thought I’d use this newsletter as an excuse to share some of my favourite articles that are ready to read right now!
