  • Anyone that knows me, understands my love of puns. I couldn’t stop dropping them on my last backyard adventure. While on the East Coast I saw a t-shirt that read “YEAH BUOY” and I wanted to buy it so bad. Have any water/beach/boat puns for me to laugh my head off at? Drop ‘em below (or should I say drop anchor below).
  • What’s the first thing you want to see when you arrive in a new city? When I got to Boston, I was dead tired, but the first thing on my list was to see Acorn Street in Beacon Hill. It did not disappoint. The red brick, the historical cobblestone, the lantern-type lights and that one flag that ties it all together. 🌿 I couldn’t stop thinking how the heck people walked (or rode a buggy) over the cobblestone streets. Like I had to watch where I was putting my feet and it was not at all comfortable to walk on. • • • • • #acornstreet #beaconhill #visitboston #bostonUSA #bostondotcom #HowToBoston #cityscapeboston #visitMA #bostonglobelife #followingboston #visitnewengland #iheartboston #VisitTheUSA #UnitedStories #citycaptures #postcardplaces #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #womenwhoexplore #girlslovetravel #travelinbetween #travelhappy #prettylittletrips #thetraveltag #iamatraveller #travelgirlsgo #travelstoke #postcardplaces #culturetrip #shetravels
  • Almonte's history is deeply rooted in the mill industry. From textiles to grist, there are several mills that dot the rivers in the area. 🌿 This mill is located in the Mill of Kintail conservation area, just outside the town. 🌿 Here I learned about sound scaping from Chad Clifford. It's where you listen to nature sounds using some pretty cool audio equipment. It was the perfect location. @lanarkcounty (Hosted)
  • This weekend I'm in Almonte, Ontario, a small town near Ottawa. 🌿 This place is very near and dear to my heart because I used to come up to my grandmother's house and swim and paddle in the Mississippi River. ⛲ That was at least 20 years ago. This weekend I'm exploring all the beautiful things to do in this lovely town. Keep watching my IG stories for more fun! 🌿 @lanarkcounty [Sponsored]
  • 2,354 photos of my trip to Boston and Maine, down to 307 edited ones. It took me about a week of editing. Who else takes a ton of photos on vacation?! What are you favourite things to take photos of? I like old buildings and streetscapes when visiting the city, but I’m all about landscapes when out in nature. • • • • • #visitboston #bostonUSA #bostondotcom #HowToBoston #cityscapeboston #visitMA #bostonglobelife #followingboston #visitnewengland #iheartboston #VisitTheUSA #UnitedStories #citycaptures #postcardplaces #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #womenwhoexplore #girlslovetravel #travelinbetween #travelhappy #prettylittletrips #thetraveltag #iamatraveller #travelgirlsgo #travelstoke #postcardplaces #culturetrip #shetravels #travelshots #justtravel
  • The Galapagos Islands were both mysterious and captivating to Charles Darwin, who was inspired to write about his observations in his book On the Origins of Species. The islands have changed in the centuries since his last visit, but the biodiversity hasn’t. 🌿 This remote, archipelago is home to a massive variety of wildlife, both above the surface and below it. The Galapagos Islands are one of the greatest places on earth to interact (at a distance) with the wild animals – most of which you won’t find anywhere else in the world. 🌿 Be sure to read my last post on the Galapagos Islands, where you’ll find everything you need to know about travelling to the Enchanted Isles. -------------- Not sure what to bring on a trip to the Galapagos Islands 👉 Grab your free Galapagos Islands packing list printable and other travel resources.

  • [Question below 👇] I am so excited to be working with @OntarioParks this summer to promote our Provincial Parks. I’ve tallied it up and I’ve been to only 22 parks, which is only scratching the surface of the over 300 parks and reserves in this province. Swipe to see photos from my top five favourites: 1️⃣ Craigleith Provincial Park – One of my absolute favourite parks to go to in the summer. The beach is actually long slabs of rock, which is awesome for those of use that don’t like sand! I love snorkelling, swimming, playing in the shallow water. I have such awesome happy memories here with family and friends, so it will always be my top provincial park for a day trip. 2️⃣ Killbear Provincial Park – I went for the first time last fall and I could not believe my eyes. The colours were incredible and I had such a relaxing weekend, enjoying the last weekend in October, then it snowed! I had never camped in a tent while snowing before, so it was quite the experience. 3️⃣ Silent Lake Provincial Park – Camping in a yurt in -17 (-35 with the wind chill)? Sure, no problem! Silent Lake, was just as it sounds, silent. It’s not that close to any big town, so when you step outside you hear nothing but the forest around you. 4️⃣ The Pinery Provincial Park – who needs a Caribbean island, when you’ve got the beautiful sand beaches of the Pinery!? I loved this beautiful park on the shores of Lake Huron. 5️⃣ MacGregor Point Provincial Park – This one was hard, but I have to choose MacGregor Point because of the fun times I’ve had with friends here. Winter camping is a ton of fun – would you try it? 🍁 Now it’s your turn! If you’ve been to an Ontario park – what are your top three? If you haven’t been to Ontario, then tell me about your favourite provincial/state park close to your home.
  • I loved exploring Basilica del Voto Nacional, a massive church in the centre of Quito, Ecuador. From its detailed façade to the beautiful stained glass windows to the views from the top of the spire – this place is a must-see location on your next trip to Ecuador. -------------- Not sure what to bring on a trip to the Galapagos Islands 👉 Grab your free Galapagos Islands packing list printable and other travel resources.

  • Can I just say how much I adored exploring more of my backyard with Spicy Jan of @tastyroadtrips Not only is she a wonderful human being, but extremely knowledgeable about Paris, Ontario.I expected to eat until I was full at different places in Paris, but that is not the case. Tasty Road Trip is more than a food tour, it's a food and culture experience. I would have never explored half the things that she took us too on my own. Nor would I have learned so much about the people living their passion. 👉Stop 1: The Paris Wincey Mills Co where we got to sampled delicious and nutritious treats from SilverStone Energy Bar, get our fancy on with The Olive Oil Company, get adventurous with Florcita's Classic Latin Foods, and delight in a staple food at Original Kettlecorn & Gourmet Popcorn. 👉Stop 2: A stroll through Paris to see the original cobblestone buildings, then getting our Zen on with Wabi Sabi Crystals then taking in local art at the brand new Paris Bohemian Gallery. 👉Stop 3: Getting our dessert fix at the Paris Bakery. (I am drooling just thinking about it). Then off to The Cedar House for a bite and a brew. ♥️ 👉Stop 4: We were off tour a bit today and visited Five Oaks, Education and retreat centre, where we learned about what you can eat and what could kill you in nature. We then learned how to gut and cook a rainbow trout using nature's kitchen. I have to say our "Tasty Road Trout" was pretty spectacular. 👉Stop 5: We headed back to town and stopped at Juniper Dining Co - a stunning French fine dining restaurant, that I am 100% bringing my mother to in the future. Lastly, we finished the tour by stopping at Chocolate Sensations, ending the journey on a sweet note.The delicious food, the incredible people behind these places, and our fantastic tour guide, Janice, made the day unforgettable. It was hard to pick just 10 photos to share!! #GoodTimesinBrant

Win a trip!
