Why we like: Where does one find a bikini during Toronto’s Winter season? As of November 28th, I’m Mexico bound for a 7-day vaycay. The dilemma: being the novice traveller that I am – I am lost within a sea of maternity suits, tankinis with built-in skirts and overpriced stringkinis starting in the three digit price range. So what’s a girl to do when she’s opted out of desserts and second servings for a couple months now, only to realize that her ‘hot bod’ may not be matched with the swimsuit of her dreams? There’s not enough time for a Victoria Secret e-store delivery – let’s hope my fellow travelling compadres on DOPPLR know a thing or two about seeking out swimwear.

In a nutshell: Referred to as, “…an online service for intelligent business travellers.” If you’re intelligent you’ll check it out. Work in an office or cubicle? Yes. Got a vacation planned? This place is a must. Now where I can get a sarong?
