Sometimes, girl has gotta do what a girl has gotta do. 

Been an interesting, inspiring and eye-opening week so far. Lots of lessons learned, taught and inevitable for the future. 

Have a great rest of the week.

Forget Daft Punk, Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez. Willie Nelson has been on heavy repeat on my summer 2013 playlist.

No word of a lie, it's "On the Road Again" is on my 25 Most Played soundtrack.

Over the last eight months especially, I have had the opportunity to travel and visit, work or take part in a plethora of events across Canada. 

There was a period between February and May I was en route somewhere ever three weeks. In anticipation of each trip, I pulled my favourite red suitcase out of the back of my closet and left it next to my dresser. It reminded me of a small dog waiting by the door to go outside for a walk - my suitcase was begging to be taken out and shown the country. 

This little bag got it's wish - between weekend getaways, weddings, moving, dance opportunities and so much more, I've been a bit of a nomad living out of it. 

A few people have asked how I do it (luckily, I can sleep well in moving vehicles), so I thought it would be fun to share a few of my tips and secrets that help get me from A to B smoothly. 

• GREYHOUND CANADA - I have taken the Greyhound Bus more times than I can count to visit friends, family and my favourite place in the world, New York City. The express buses have outlets, WiFi, so I can work while en route. TIP: Buy your ticket online for significant savings 

• HYDRATION - It's important to stay hydrated all the time, but even more so when you're on the move. I always make sure to have a water bottle on me to keep my refreshed and avoid headaches. TIP: Bring a reusable water bottle with you on to the airport and fill it up post-security. You'll avoid the expensive plastic bottles and can refill anytime

• GET OUTFITTED - Whether I'm heading in to somewhere with sand or snow, I have a travel uniform that has always worked. The trick is to cover either your arms or your legs. For winter, it's long pants with a tank top, and summertime is short with a long-sleeve shirt. This way, you can moderate your temperature with layers. TIP: Always have a scarf/pashmina and sunglasses in your bag. Perfect to wrap around and cover your eyes while catching some zzz's.

On chilly winter days like we've been having, I'm counting down the days until I'm on the beach in a little number like this. 

Stay warm and have a great weekend!

Wise words.

Change is a-comin'.

Warmer weather means the start of a new season (for reals!) and a set of adventures ahead.

Three, two, one...welcome to the new life.
