I turned the big 30 last weekend and my sweet fiancé took me to Victoria for the most relaxing, calm weekend of good food and even better coffee. Honestly, no better way to turn 30 and leave my twenties behind than a trip to the Island. I haven’t been to Victoria since my Grandpa passed in 2018, so it was really nice to explore and revisit all of my favorite places. And of course, we ate our way through Victoria and discovered so many new coffee shops, restaurants and cafes! Here’s hoping this next decade of my life will continue to be filled with as much good food as my twenties did!
