  • Thinking back to when I was visiting the beautiful Banff
    3 days ago by asianmapleleaf Thinking back to when I was visiting the beautiful Banff National Park. Banff is Canada's oldest national park and home to some of the world’s most breathtaking mountain views. One of my favourite memories is driving the Icefield Parkway – one of the world’s most beautiful drives, connecting Banff with Jasper National Park. Along the way you will see ancient glaciers, cascading waterfalls, and sweeping valley views. I can’t to show Canada’s beauty to  @teraj08 !  #tbt   #latergram   #canada   #banff   #banffnationalpark   #waterfall   #naturephotography   @bb_to

    1 week ago by asianmapleleaf This weekend was all about eating and catching up with family and friends! Saturday I went from dim sum to afternoon tea to Hakka dinner to cocktails. My visits to Toronto are always booked back to back so I can see as many people as possible within the few days I am in town. I usually end up catching up over food or drinks... one of funnest experiences this weekend was going for afternoon tea! @fairmontroyalyork  has one of the city’s best afternoon teas - I loved the world charm of the Library Bar and the tea selections.

    2 weeks ago by asianmapleleaf Snowball fight!! We were in Chicago during the polar vortex last week but we made the most of it. We were able to walk around in Millennium Park taking the cool art installations. We always try to make the most of each day ignoring all the things outside of our control. At least now we can get t-shirts saying we survived -40C ❄️ weather! Haha.  #latergram   #chicago   #chicagohome   #millenniumpark   #snowballfight   #outtraveler   #gaytravelblog   @teraj08

    4 weeks ago by asianmapleleaf Between trips and work, we still try to find time to be silly! I sometimes get all caught up with the day to day grind and forget to pause to take in the moments. Are you more of a feel nothing or everything sort of person?!  #latergram   #newyork   #beingsilly   #gaycouple   #gaybf   #feelnothing   #feeleverything
