Year: 2018

Destinations

Travel Cheap: Poland

May 3, 2018 Edith B

Often considered a “second class” European destination, Poland has everything it takes for an authentic experience… that will spare your wallet! ►►►

Quebec Tourism

The 2018 Montreal Outdoor Adventure Show

April 19, 2018 Edith B

Since last year has been a great opportunity to get a pulse of the industry, of its new trends and to network with some of the major players of the outdoor industry, I was happy to accept the invitation to visit the 2018 edition. ►►►

What – and Who – the Body Positive Movement Is (Really) About…

April 5, 2018 Edith B

Over the past couple of years, the body positive movement became less and less of a dark, obscure thing. It’s getting almost “mainstream” now. Along with Ashley Graham, “Bopo” has become some kind of a… buzzword. A buzzword that seems to have lost (a part of) its meaning. And some of its inclusive nature. ►►►

Clothes & Gear

Travel Bras for Plus-Size Adventurers

March 29, 2018 Edith B

I recently spent some time with Debbie Donelle and her team at Lingerie DEBra to identify some bra models that would make great travel bras for plus-size travelers and backpackers! ►►►

Destinations

Travel Cheap: Guatemala

March 15, 2018 Edith B

Guatemala, “the land of trees” in the Mayan language, will satisfy everyone, from the adrenaline-crazed adventurers to the most relaxed, slow-paced tourists. ►►►

Expert Talk

“On ne naît pas grosse” (One Isn’t Born Fat): Hell is people.

March 1, 2018 Edith B

Since December 2017 that I repeat that I will write a blog post on French author Gabrielle Deydier’s slap-in-the-face-book, “On ne naît pas grosse” (“One Isn’t Born Fat”). Well, here it is, finally! ►►►

Travel Top 10

February 15, 2018 Edith B

I recently shared the first part of a list of countries to visit, at least, for me! (Again, there is no particular order). Here’s the rest of my (current) countries bucket list! ►►►

Travel Top 10

Countries to Visit ASAP! (part 1)

January 31, 2018 Edith B

To this day, I have visited 16 countries, but there are still so many countries to visit on my travel checklist! I have compiled this – very personal – top 10 list… Who knows, this could inspire you! ►►►

Destinations

Plus-Size Bulgaria: Plovdiv (Пловдив)

January 17, 2018 Edith B

Plovdiv (Пловдив) is the 2nd biggest city of Bulgaria (after Sofia). In terms of “bigger Bulgarian cities”, I have to say, Plovdiv was my favorite! ►►►

True Story

Fat-Shaming: No, You Don’t Care About My Health

January 4, 2018 Edith B

Fat-shaming is one of the buzzwords in the plus-size / fat-acceptance / size-positive blogosphere. Because it’s an everyday reality of the big folk’s universe. ►►►
