Meet Sally & Bucky: Art of the Perfectly Planned Adventure
Sally is a Canadian pharmacist with a passport full of stamps, a blog full of stories, and a travel companion who’s… a bit of a handful.
By day, Sally helps people stay healthy. But when she’s off the clock, she’s diving deep into K-dramas, dreaming of her next destination, and crafting travel itineraries so detailed they could rival a Lonely Planet guidebook. From the best local eats to hidden cultural gems, Sally leaves no stone unturned. Her secret? Hours of research, a love for storytelling, and a tiny, mischievous stuffed beaver named Bucky.
Yes, you read that right.
Bucky is a small stuffed beaver who accompanies Sally on all her travels. He’s the second of his name—his predecessor, the original Bucky, famously “retired” in Cancun after falling in love with the beach life and mysteriously vanishing. Rumor has it he’s still sipping coconut water somewhere on the Yucatán Peninsula.
Bucky II, however, is just as adventurous (and arguably even more mischievous). He’s been spotted photobombing Sally’s travel selfies, sneaking into local markets, and once even tried to stow away in a tuk-tuk in Thailand. He’s become a beloved character on Sally’s travel blog, where readers follow their escapades with equal parts admiration and amusement.
“My suitcase is organized, my itinerary is color-coded, and Bucky II is… probably already lost in the hotel lobby.”
Sally’s blog is a treasure trove of travel tips, cultural insights, and laugh-out-loud moments. Whether she’s navigating the night markets of Seoul, hiking through the Rockies, or tracking down the perfect bowl of ramen in Tokyo, she brings her readers along for the ride—with Bucky II always in tow.
For Sally, travel is about more than just seeing new places. It’s about understanding them, connecting with people, and sharing those experiences in a way that’s both informative and entertaining.
Now, she’s bringing that same spirit to Around the World in 80 Cards. Sally is thrilled to join the community and share her stories, travel wisdom, and a few Bucky’s misadventures along the way.
“The best part of traveling isn’t just the places I go—it’s the stories I get to tell.“
So buckle up—Sally and Bucky II have plenty more adventures ahead, and you won’t want to miss a single one.
