I just sat down on the couch to check this blog, which is something I have done a few times in the last month, but each time I do, I don’t feel inspired to write anything…so I close the page and decide that I will write when I feel inspired to do so. When I…

Tofino Brewing Co and Toki Doki!

Coffee Shops you Can’t Miss When Visiting Port Alberni!
As many of my friends and family know, I love a good latte and I am always on the hunt for a good coffee shop. There are many things that go into what I think makes a good coffee shop – how aesthetically pleasing it, if they will take your reusable cup, if they offer…
