The Gdansk Polish Food Tour by @deliciouspoland costs €91 per person and lasts for around 3 hours 🚶🏼‍♀️

During this time, a local guide will walk you through the Old Town where you’ll learn more about the city’s history and stop at some fantastic local eateries - including a traditional milk bar! 🥟

This tour is a fun alternative to regular walking tours, and it lets you explore Gdansk like a local, while eating of course 🤤

Gdansk is a great city for a weekend getaway durin Gdansk is a great city for a weekend getaway during the holiday season 🇵🇱

We took our new backpacks from @braasi for a spin - and yes, Ryanair let us through with them! 😅

I find the ARNE Backpack to be extremely spacious, and it easily fits my camera gear, clothes, and laptop with plenty of room left for souvenirs 🎒

The EVO II X-Pac is another unique option, with external storage spaces for things like a water bottle, jacket, or tripod 🧥

All of the backpacks from @braasi are handmade in their workshop in Prague, and most of their materials are European-sourced too 🔨

Do you have a backpack on your Christmas wishlist this year? 🎄🎁

Say hello to Kingston, Ontario - the first capital Say hello to Kingston, Ontario - the first capital city of Canada! 😃

Kingston is a very walkable place, making it easy to explore the downtown area in half a day. You’ll also have time to hop on a cruise around the Thousand Islands 🛥️

It’s a good stopping point if you’re driving from Montreal or Ottawa to Toronto or further afield 🚘

Have you visited Kingston yet? 🇨🇦
