Hello again 🙂 . Last time we walked through the first leg of my trip, a First Class experience from NYC to Frankfurt, Germany. You can read about that in detail here:
But in summary, I had a fantastic time in Singapore Air’s First Class and was excited to embark on an even longer flight: the 12.5 hours from Frankfurt to Singapore. So let’s see how it went! Continue reading “Review: Singapore Air First Class (FRA to SIN) – A $15,000 Flight For $27 [Part 2]”
Finally, we have arrived 🙂 . We started planning this Australia trip in 2018 – that’s when we started accumulating points and planning our route around Australia and New Zealand. Originally this trip was to take place in October 2020 to celebrate my retirement at 30. I think you can guess how well that plan went 🙂 .

Let me paint you a picture. It’s 2016, Young Purple is a year and change into her journey to financial independence – and subsequently a year into writing on this blog 🙂 .

I stumbled across something interesting in my new nomad location of Troy, NY that I wanted to share it with you: Amazon Hub Locker+. I ordered a few items and had them delivered to the closest Amazon Locker.

So I’m 3 years into my retirement and my nomad journey and I’m still constantly trying to improve things – I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t 🙂 . Living out of a 40L backpack is a constant learning process as I decide what I love and what I don’t even use that needs to be left behind.

From the moment we touched down in Montréal, I was in love. Why, you ask? It only took 20 minutes from the moment I set foot in the airport to when I stepped onto the curb to be picked up – and most of that was walking, not waiting. That definitely puts Montréal in the top 3 for the efficient international air travel arrival that I’ve experienced.

My investigation of random travel experiences continues 🙂 . And this time, it’s the Canadian edition! I took a weekend trip to Ottawa and decided to take the train back so this is a recap of my first time using a Canadian train company, VIA Rail Canada, on a trip between those two cities.
