I love discovering cities in my own country — and even province — that are full of surprises.

One such destination, is Victoria.

I recently travelled there for a girls' weekend away ... and I honestly wonder, after visiting, what's taken me so long to go.

The capital city of British Columbia, Victoria boasts a charming waterfront, great food, cool little shops and an almost European vibe. It's a feeling I've experienced before when travelling around other parts of Canada — that familiar/unfamiliar feel — but I was surprised to find it so close to home.

From the ferry experience, to the hotel I stayed in (The Fairmont Empress is an absolute MUST!), it was a total treat that has me planning my next island adventure.

Happy Friday and thank you for stopping by!
