Hello! I’m Alyssa, a 28-year-old hospitality graduate and a budding travel enthusiast.
My journey into the world of travel blogging is somewhat unconventional. While studying for my degree in marketing, I was so immersed in textbooks and lectures that I barely had time to explore beyond the campus.
It was only after graduation that I caught the travel bug and spent 6 weeks in SE Asia – and oh, how it bit me hard!
My passion for travel ignited a desire to share my experiences, but I realized that before I venture out into the world, I should first explore and appreciate my own backyard – the beautiful city of Victoria, BC.
Victoria isn’t just where I live; it’s a part of who I am.
Through my blog, I want to take you on a journey through Victoria’s hidden gems and well-loved spots. I aim to show you why this city is not just a destination, but a feeling – a feeling of being at home, yet always discovering something new.
Whether it’s finding the best coffee shops, exploring local markets, or uncovering the history behind our historic buildings, I want to share it all.
My blog is for those who, like me, may have started their travel journey a bit late but are eager to make up for lost time. It’s for those who want to explore the world but also find joy in the treasures of their hometown.
Let’s explore the beauty of starting where you are, and the joy of finding adventure in your own city. Welcome to my journey!
