"The days are getting shorter as we head toward winter" - My Dad, every year on the summer solstice.⁠All jokes aside, this weekend we rang in the start of summer. From going to the beach to having a barbeque to having a bonfire, it really felt like summer has finally arrived. ⁠⁠We have so much to look forward to this summer, and the best feeling in the world is to feel hopeful. And I do feel hopeful. ⁠⁠I feel hopeful for future travel and for a return to normal. I feel hopeful for gatherings and seeing friends again. ⁠⁠I know we're not out of the woods yet, but I can't help but feel light and happy again after a long, draining year. ⁠⁠What are you feeling hopeful for?⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#SantoriniGreece #SantoriniIsland #OiaSantorini #SantoriniSecrets #BeautifulGreece #MyGreece #DiscoverGreece #ReasonsToVisitGreece #Perfect_Greece #AdoreGreece #PerfectGreece #NafplionGreece #GreeceTravel #TravelGreece #GreeceMoments #VisitGreeceGR #WonderlustGreece #DiscoverNewPlaces #Nomadict #PostcardFromTheWorld #PrettyCities #TheTravelTag #TravelInBetween #TravelMoments #Adventurista #ExploreNewPlaces #PerfectGetaway #RickStevesEurope #TravelObsessed

Roadside waterfalls are my favourite.⁠⁠When planning a road trip, I like to scour Google Maps to find great places to stop along the way. It helps break up a long drive and you get to see cool things - a win-win. ⁠⁠Some stops don't pan out. Others, like Furnace Falls here, exceed expectations. I thought this would be a quick pit stop to stretch my legs and feed my puppy on my way to Bon Echo. But it was a great spot, we ended up staying here for half an hour, enjoying the view and walking along the river. ⁠

☑️ Checking off my 52nd provincial park. ☑️⁠⁠This past weekend, I headed out to the woods for the first camping trip of the year. I had originally thought that this trip would be cancelled, but as Ontario entered its reopening plan a whole three days early, that meant that CAMPING WAS BACK ON! ⁠⁠This was the first time visiting Bon Echo Provincial Park, and it won't be the last. It's such a beautiful park known for Mazinaw Rock, Indigenous pictographs and stellar hiking.⁠⁠It was also exciting because it was Aurora's (@auroraontherun) first camping trip. I was definitely nervous, but GUYS, SHE DID SO WELL, I'M SO PROUD. ⁠⁠I can't wait for my next camping trip in two weeks' time. Any idea which park I'm headed to next?⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#UnspoiledLA #FrontenacCounty #InFrontenac #BonEchoProvincialPark #BonEchoPP #OntarioParks #BonEcho #FindYourselfHere #ComeWander #LennoxAndAddington #AddingtonHighlands #NorthFrontenac #CampOntario #OntarioCamping #DiscoverON #OntarioTravel #AdventureOntario #LoveOntario #MyOntario #DestinationOntario #IgersOntario #OntarioOutdoors #CampingTrip #CampingCollective #CampingWeekend #CampingSeason #ExploreYourBackyard #MyOutdoors #WomenOutdoors #WhyIHike

No matter where on Earth you live." - Sylvia Earle, my personal hero⁠⁠In university, I was studying scientific theory when I came across the work of Sylvia Earle, an oceanographer and the first female National Geographic explorer-in-residence. ⁠⁠She is a ground-breaking, glass-ceiling-smashing scientist who led the way in so many underwater research projects. She once lived underwater for two weeks for research and saw first-hand the effects of pollution on coral reefs.⁠⁠Now in her 80s, she is still an advocate for ocean research and protection through her organization, Mission Blue. ⁠⁠When I was younger, I wanted to be a marine biologist. All my toys were sea creatures and even corrected people when they misidentified them. And while I'm no longer on that path, I'll always love the ocean, and I hope on this #WorldOceanDay you love it a little too. ⁠⁠Want to read more about Sylvia Earle and her amazing life?

I've been thinking a lot about Northern Ontario. 🏕️ ⁠⁠I was a lucky kid to crisscross Canada a dozen times, but Northern Ontario was always a place to drive through to get out west. (Such a shame, because oh my, Northern Ontario has some of the most beautiful places to visit.)⁠⁠Last year that all changed when I went on a ten-day camping and hiking adventure around Lake Superior. Despite not being able to shower for 10 days 😳, it was one of my favourite trips to date.⁠⁠This year, if everything works out, then I'll be returning to the north twice, once to spend a week hiking and camping in Lake Superior and another week exploring parks in Northeastern Ontario. ⁠⁠I picked out 20 places in Northern Ontario that you've got to see for yourself in my newest video. [LINK IN BIO]⁠⁠Go check it out and tell me which one is your favourite!⁠⁠📍 Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#FindYourselfHere #CampingTrip #KakabekaFalls #WaterfallChasing #WaterfallsForDays #ExperienceTheBigLake #VisitTBay #OntarioRoadTrip #NorthernOntario #NorthernLife #ExploreOntario #OntarioTravel #OntarioOutdoors #VisitCanada #Adventurista #She_Explores #SheWanders #ExploreNewPlaces #naturecanada #naturecapture #campingvibes #canada🍁 #canadatravel #canadalife #canoncanada #speechlessplaces #hellofrom #outdoortones #outsidemagazine

Nancy Drew and the Mystery Under the Terrace⁠ 🔎⁠Okay, that's not actually a thing, but did you know that you can explore underneath the Dufferin Terrace in Quebec City?⁠⁠While walking along the Dufferin Terrace, you may come across giant glass boxes. If you peer into the glass boxes, you’ll see remnants of the Saint-Louis Forts and Chateaux National Historic Site below. You can actually go underneath the terrace and explore some of Quebec’s oldest history. ⁠⁠The archaeological site was the official residence and seat of power of governors from 1620 to 1834. It was also where the first military fort of Quebec was located. AND it was the last home of Samuel de Champlain before he died. ⁠⁠During the dig, archaeologists found lifestyle objects associated with the home of Quebec’s governor, like glassware and stoneware. You can take a guided or self-guided tour of the site.⁠⁠Have you been beneath the terrace?⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#ChateauFrontenac #DufferinTerrace #BonjourQuebec #Quebec #Québec #QuebecCity #QuebecOriginal #QuebecLife #QuebecShot #QuebecPhotography #QuebecCite #OldQuebecCity #VisitQuebec #DiscoverQuebec #TravelQuebec #QuebecCanada #QuebecForYou #CanadianAdventures #HelloFrom #ShotOnCanon #CanonCanada #EnRouteMag #TravelTherenext #TheTravelTag #PrettyCities #TakeMeThere #ILoveQuebecCity #StreetPhotography #QuebecJeTAime
