I initially started Carla’s Canvas as a diary to keep family and friends informed of my travel experiences and it has since evolved into a travel and lifestyle blog.  By documenting my travels, my blog serves as a means to reminisce, reflect, and share with others the knowledge I have gained from over 10 years of discovering places near and far.  It is a collage of my ongoing journeys around the world, that I hope will motivate others to take the personal challenge of discovering new places and perhaps something about themselves.

On this blog you will find packing tips, ideas to get the most of out your pennies, attractions to visit in different cities, restaurant guides, and the occasional personal musing about life in general!
