Year: 2018

IT IS BAAAAACK! Following the success of last year’s edition, here is the 2018 Plus-Size Travel Gift Guide! ►►►

I am a big fan of fall travel. Since I started traveling, I often chose September and October (and, more rarely, November) as my get-away months. ►►►

Why an ABC of plus-size travel? So you can sample and jump further into this blog’s content. Especially if you are a newcomer who is just discovering the universe of The Plus-Size Backpacker…! ►►►

Finding the right travel clothes, especially as a plus-size traveler, is a challenge that renews itself with every new adventure. It’s even more of a challenge when you’re a big traveler. And, as I mentioned before on this blog, my luggage allowance is the same than my 5 ft friend’s… but my panties are much bigger! ►►►

From their tender age, big girls are the nicest. Society also sends them the message that they also have to be nicer than everyone else. And that, even when no one else has to be kind… they (still) do. ►►►

The Montreal Pride 2018 parade was held last Sunday under the theme of the color “blue”, symbol of peace and serenity in the rainbow flag. Like last year, I decided to write about it because it’s one of my favorite events of the summer… and simply because I care about the LGBTQ+ community. ►►►

I spent a week in Alaska at the end of June / beginning of July. I set foot in the Land of the Midnight Sun on June 28, just a week after the summer solstice. ►►►

After a one year hiatus in 2017, Heavy Montreal came back in full force for the pleasure of metal fans. The 2018 edition was held last weekend at the Parc Jean-Drapeau, on Île Sainte-Hélène, in Montreal. ►►►
