Thanks for visiting my travel blog! It won’t take you long to feel my passion for writing and adventure. Whether its wandering new cities, jumping into new oceans, navigating airports, hearing different languages, seeing new passport stamps, tasting exotic foods, sleeping in hostels/hotels/tents … I love it. I love it ALL and I can’t seem to get enough of it!
Meet my travel bug . . .
It bit me hard at a very young age . . .
And as a result, this is me now . . .
A girl whose eyes start sparkling and body starts filling up with joy with the thought of TRAVEL. A severe form of WANDERLUST . . . 
My passion for capturing memories through the lens of my camera, my love for food and the joy I find in reflecting on my travel memories using a pen and paper results in a series of blog entries filled with warmth, pure happiness and inspiration. I hope to share a little bit of myself and my adventure of life with you.
Wow!! Good job, Al !!!
Cool post . . . Where are you going next (I saw something about New Zealand, but wasn’t sure)?
I only looked for a little while but I can already see your adventurous spirit!
I completely fell in love with your Wanderlust image! It is absolutely perfect and it really moved me. Thanks for posting that, it was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks Alli!
Ni hao! It looks like your life is an amazing adventure! Thanks for visiting my blog today and liking my latest post.

Thanks for visiting my blog! I can totally relate to your wanderlust. Seems there is no cure for that darn travel bug (thank God)! :-) happy travels and keep up the great blog!
Your blog is really cool and you’re cool too :)
The same bug that bit you has bit me. It’s nice to see others who feel the same way, truly nice :)

Hi :) I’ve just nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award! Come see: http://clairebear2013.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/liebster-blog-award/
Thank you very much for the nomination, Claire!
No problem Alli, keep up the great blog! :)
i ADORE your vintagey photos, can’t get enough of that style! Can’t wait to read more about your adventures – from a fellow Canadian :p
Thank you so much Catherine! :D x
Wow! I don’t know where to begin. Glad to get your like and more importantly to see your blog. I certainly share your passion for travel.
I saw mention of your blog on my friend Steve’s “Around the World with Steve” blog. I love the pictures and vitage postcards/pin-up art (my daughter would love your site…she has a thing for pin-up art). I love to travel too, but most of mine of late has been local (Unitied States). Anyway…you have a beautiful blog and the writings of your travels are interesting. Keep on writing and traveling for as long at that is your passion!
Hi there! I love vintage anything. It’s so timeless. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog :)
Hey Alli- Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting! I think traveling is a lifestyle, and its all about the life-travel balance. In order for “normal” folks like us to sustain that lifestyle, we have to incorporate and infuse it in our lives in a manageable way! I love your blog and look forward to following your travels. New Zealand is one of my favorite places on the planet. You will have an amazing adventure!
I completely agree :) Thanks very much for the warm wishes of my upcoming trip! I can’t wait!

Lovely blog Alliblair. I think you might like my new book – Two Minute Noodle – published today on Amazon – I am very excited.

And, somehow, I just suspect you would not call the government to help rescue you, Alli! You give travel and travellers a good name, mate! Keep reporting back for us sticks in the mud who barely make it past the front door. D.
