New Blog Pages

Hey everyone,
I'm happy to announce that I've added some new pages to this blog: Start Travelling, Best of Blog, and Travel Lists. (I've also redesigned my blog's template!) The main purpose of these pages are to help with navigation and reference you to posts that are related to things you want to look at. They also provide some new information. Here's a summary of the functions of the three new blog pages:

Start Travelling: I've been requested to write about the most important steps to planning a trip, and this page is the answer to your questions about that. This topic can be quite confusing, as there is a lot of information on the Internet about this subject and all the sources are annoyingly different. So, I've collected details about this from the web and my personal experience, and compiled them into 12 steps. Click HERE to read this page. 

Best of Blog: This is basically a new feature on my blog that will help you find a post that interests you, based on what you want to learn about or where you may be going. For example, if you want to know about the best gardens to visit in Paris, you'll be directed to the "Luxembourg and Tuileries Gardens" blog post. I hope this makes it easier to navigate between posts that you'd like to read. Click HERE to read this page. 

Travel Lists: The purpose of this page is to help you when preparing and travelling by reading dumb lists I've written (for some reason I find it fun). Right now, I've made a list of almost everything you'll need when packing for a trip, but in the future I'll update the Lists page with (for example) the things you'll need to do when you leave your house on vacation. If this interests you, check back every few weeks for an update. Click HERE to read this page.

I hope you enjoy these new features... Happy Reading! (Cheesy as usual.)

 UPDATE: I've added a new video about packing to my blog under Travel Lists. (It's called Timelapse Packing.) If you have a minute, you might want to check it out.

New "Travel Advice" Blog Posts

Until now, I've used this blog for posting reviews and information about locations and attractions, mostly in France. However, I'd like to expand the purpose of this blog to not only specific places, but also general travel advice. This way, readers who might not be going to the places I have mentioned can still use the travel advice wherever they are going. Because of the variety in posts, I hope the blog will be open to a wider audience as well.
These will appear every few posts, and will also be shorter than normal posts. They will be based on personal experience rather than researched information. (I'm a trained professional in Getting Lost In Airports, Cities And Basically Everywhere.) The posts will cover preparation for travel, time in airports, flight connections, and everything in between. Some things might sound obvious, but you'd be surprised how difficult it can be to actually enjoy yourself in an airport.
I hope you enjoy reading the new Travel Advice posts! (The first one will be posted tomorrow.)

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Angelina, and I absolutely love travel and adventures. I wanted to share my knowledge of some of the places I've been to, as well as some travel stories (like when a cat almost fell through our skylight in southern France). In the past year, I've traveled to Europe and the United States. I've also been to places closer to home, such as Edmonton, Vancouver and the Gulf Islands.
 In this blog, you'll read about some of the best restaurants in Paris, the most picturesque view of the Pyrenees Mountains, the optimal spot to watch windsurfing in Maui, and where to find some of the best cheese in Canada (and lots more).
If you have any questions or feedback relating to the blog, leave a comment below. I'd love to hear your ideas.
  I hope you enjoy reading my blog!
