From Toronto to London: A Weather-Driven Journey
“I moved to London for the weather,” said no one ever—except me. As a proud Canadian, I’ve braved the infamous duo of Toronto seasons: Winter and Construction.

London in December: The City That Glows

Embrace the Merry Moments

Haha, that’s about as Ho-Ho-Ho as I get.
