Welcome to Passportunities – Travel Beyond your 9-5

Hi, I’m Darcie: an engineer by week and a travel content creator by weekend. Travelling has always been an outlet for me and I love sharing tips, itineraries and my experiences after a trip. A blog is the perfect way to share that with the world. Here, you’ll find a ton of helpful information from itineraries, to packing lists, to solo travel tips, and more. Your passport gives an opportunity to discover the beauty of the world and the people in it, but it doesn’t have to stop there!

You can find more of my portfolio here!

I have a passion for travelling but also supporting local. National and international travelling can be expensive, so I encourage you to explore your own city to keep things interesting in your day-to-day life. I share local Ottawa and Ontario content regularly, on top of international travel itineraries. Included are my own personal recommendations to a supportive community and to support local. You’ll find the following here:

  1. Local Ottawa guides and itineraries with a flair for photography and supporting local small businesses
  2. Ontario road trip destinations
  3. Canadian travel itineraries and lists of things to do in cities I’ve personally visited
  4. International travel itineraries and tips for travelling to destinations I’ve been to
  5. Tips for solo travel and how to keep a travel budget (including specific budget travel breakdowns)
  6. Packing list and tips to packing light

You’ll also find photography tips and instagrammable locations across the globe. I purchased my first DSLR camera in 2016 and have been working on improving my composition and editing ever since! I started by exploring more of Ottawa with my camera to learn how to take wonderful photos for my trips. That led me to being part of a supportive photography community in the capital and taking beautiful travel photos. My passion for photography has flourished since 2016 and I love sharing the knowledge I’ve accumulated over the years here.
