    Best Time to Visit Washington DC: A Season-by-Season Breakdown

    04/15/2026 - By Rosalie Horrocks

    Best Time to Visit Washington DC: A Season-by-Season Breakdown When’s the best time to visit Washington DC without getting punished by crowds or hotel rates that spike for no apparent reason? The honest answer isn’t cherry blossom season — but that’s what everyone books anyway. The Trip That Goes Wrong Before It Starts April in DC looks perfect on paper. Cherry blossoms, mild temperatures, iconic monuments against a clear blue sky. So you book flights three months out, lock in a hotel near the National Mall for $340 a night, and fly in excited.

    Stop falling for the ‘Tuesday’ myth and other YYZ to YVR flight lies

    04/02/2026 - By Rosalie Horrocks

    Flying across Canada is a scam, but we keep doing it because driving across the Prairies for three days is objectively worse. I’ve done the YYZ to YVR run more times than I can count—mostly to visit my sister in Kitsilano or to convince myself I’m a ‘mountain person’ for a weekend—and I’m tired of seeing the same recycled advice from people who clearly haven’t stepped foot in Pearson Terminal 1 since 2015. The Tuesday myth is a flat-out lie I don’t care what some ‘travel influencer’ told you on TikTok. Booking your flight on a Tuesday at 3:00 AM…

    Stop overpaying for Vancouver hotels: A brutally honest guide from someone who lives here

    04/01/2026 - By Rosalie Horrocks

    Most people coming to Vancouver get absolutely fleeced on hotels. They see a picture of a mountain from a window, hand over $600 a night, and end up sleeping in a room that hasn’t been renovated since the 2010 Olympics. I’m tired of seeing it happen. I don’t work for a tourism board, and I’m definitely not getting a commission from these places—I just spend way too much time in hotel lobbies and bars because my apartment is tiny and I like nice linens. The “Castle” is a trap (and other things I’m not supposed to say) Let’s talk about…
