ALL CULTURE. NO SHOCK.

WE LOVE TO EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT CULTURES, AND BALI AND KUALA LUMPUR DIDN’T DISAPPOINT.

CAN-DO CANADA

Bali’s terraced rice fields and temples starkly contrasted with the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Kuala Lumpur. In Bali, we stayed in three must-stay incense-fused locations: Ubud, Seminyak, and Uluwatu. A stand-out moment for us was sitting at a bar overlooking the jungle, watching monkeys swinging through the trees; it was an incredible experience. Next, Kuala Lumpur. We stayed at the JW Marriott Hotel, central to the hustle and bustle. On the second evening, we had a top-notch meal at Marini’s on 57. Arriving early for cocktails, we had the most phenomenal view of the Petronas Twin Towers and watched them gradually light up as darkness fell - a fantastic end to a fantastic holiday.

ANYONE THINKING OF EMBARKING ON A CANADIAN ADVENTURE, JUST DO IT! The first stop on our trip was laid-back Vancouver, with its glossy skyline, beautiful scenery, and the stunning Fairmont Waterfront. However, for me, the marine life was the most captivating. Seeing pods of orca and families of humpback whales was a dream come true! Next was the stunning Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies, with a postcard-worthy display of beauty at every turn. Quaint Canmore and the grand Malcolm Hotel were excellent bases for exploring Icefields Parkway, Lake Louise, and Moraine Lake. Our trip ended in cosmopolitan Toronto, where we stayed at One King West Hotel. The thundering Niagara Falls was the highlight - one of those pinch-me moments we’ll never forget.
