North America

North America is another place we call home. Since Bailey is from Alberta, Canada, we’re always visiting family and going on road trips around the different cities and towns. While we usually stick to visiting in the warmer months for the beautiful weather and fun activities, we also enjoy hitting the slopes during winter.

Since the USA is just below Canada, we’ve been able to visit some iconic places like Washington, DC, and New York City, going on sightseeing tours and walking around the historic neighborhoods. We’ve also spent months traveling around beautiful Mexico, enjoying the beaches, exploring ancient ruins, and eating all the amazing cuisine.

No matter which country you’re headed to, the pages below will help you figure out everything from our favorite places to stay to the must-see attractions in each area – and we’ve included details on some hidden gems as well!
