Summer is officially over. (sigh!) And as we welcome the cooler breeze of the autumn air I wanted to share with you a few memories I enjoyed this past summer.

My summer started on my visit to my hometown-Baguio City, the Summer Capital of the Philippines. I had fun visiting new cafes, restaurants and tourist spots in the city.

During my vacation in the Philippines, I visited another famous tourist destination-Coron, Palawan. This picturesque place boast its beautiful waters that makes you fall in love with nature all over again. This would be one of the best places to go when you’re looking for a more peaceful vacation. Unlike Boracay, Coron is more tranquil since there’s only a few bars or clubs around town.

After spending a month in the Philippines, I returned in Montreal around June. Summer is just starting and I was excited to finally enjoy this season in this part of the world. I visited Eastern Townships in Quebec with my sister. This town has a lot of beautiful places to go and experience. One day is definitely not enough to roam around town.

My family and I visited yet another beautiful place in Quebec called Rawdon. Our first stop was Parc des Cascades. This is a good place where you can do barbecue, swim or relax on the rocks.

And of course, I enjoyed a few moments with my siblings. We love to eat out, watch movies, shop and just hang-out. One of the places that we always visit during summer is the Old Port here in Montreal (duh!). It is very accessible for us and there are a lot of activities and restaurants here that we all can enjoy.

Doing what we do best–EAT. (My siblings and I A-D-O-R-E korean food!!)

I’ve also spent a few moments with friends and co-workers.

So there goes a few of my summer experiences. Can’t wait for the next summer to come ??.

Hope everyone enjoyed their summer as well.

Much love❤️❤️??,
