4 Day Niagara Falls and Toronto Canada Itinerary
If you are going to Niagara Falls, the more 'fun' side is the Canadian side. There's so many places to see and do in the Canada side, but after a while the falls can get boring. Two whole days is enough in Niagara Falls if you want to see both the American and the Canadian side. Other people just do this on a day trip, so it is perfect if you are looking for a quick weekend destination. Toronto is just 1 1/2 hours drive away from Niagara Falls, and Buffalo is 20-30 minutes away from the US side. And so, we also provide more tips on where to go…

Schengen Visa Application for Philippine Passport (for Free)
Marrying a European meant that we do have to go to Europe every now and again to visit family or just go sightseeing. The problem with that is, I need to get a Schengen visa since I have a Philippine passport. Not to worry, did you know you can get a free Schengen visa application with a Philippine passport?

First Impressions of Alaska
Greetings! This is the first of our (hopefully) many blogs about Alaska. aptly titled our First Impressions of Alaska. Below are some links that may interest you if you want to read more about Alaska. Just a note: all these photos (including the wildlife ones) are taken by either me or Ruby.

You can also read about how we fund and afford our travels, or about travel hacking, which was how we scored our airline tickets to Alaska in the first place. If you have any other questions, feel free to leave…
