Killarney Provincial Park 🤩

📍Located north of Georgian Bay and stretches out for 645 sq kms. This park is a marvel of wilderness and is frequented by those who enjoy backcountry canoeing, kayaking, camping and trail hiking.
The park offers access to beaches as well as areas perfect for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter.

🗺Choosing Your Next Destination🗺

For some a vacation means lounging by a beach and for others it means adventure and exploration. Whatever your preference, deciding where in the world to go is a science - and we’re here to help you choose your next destination wisely🌎

📝Making a List of your ‘Wants’:
Let’s decide what things you want to see and experience. Are you looking to be relaxed? Are you looking for an adrenaline rush? Perhaps a history lesson on local architecture? This step will help us envision what you truly want out of your trip.

📝Flushing out your ‘Needs’:
Narrowing down the needs are just as important as the wants. Let’s take a moment to consider what things you’ll need on this trip. Will you be travelling alone? Will there be kids on this trip? Maybe you’ll need to rent a car, or pre-book some tours. What kind of accommodations will best cater to your needs? This list will provide a solid framework and help kick off the journey.

📝Setting a Budget:
Now that we know your wants and needs, let’s talk money. This is where we determine what goals are feasible. Setting a budget early on in the planning journey will ensure we keep tabs on spending. Remember- a good vacation doesn’t require spending crazy money. You’d be surprised of the affordable options available!

📝Consider Past Vacations:
Looking back at past experiences is an excellent way of identifying what brings you joy. A trip down memory lane can help guide us during decision-making.
..& the rest is up to us!! After some fun dialogue and getting to know one another, we will dive into some research and start building you a custom itinerary that caters to all your heart’s desires 💕
Keeping an open-mind throughout the process is key, and will help pave the way to a marvellous journey!

I haven’t posted in a minute…life has gotten super busy and my focus has been diverted. Just thought I’d jump on to share some visual serotonin in the midst of so much chaos in the world.

The world as we know it has changed drastically over the last 18 months and to some the future feels scary and unstable. But remember - history teaches us that humanity has overcome many dark times. This pandemic is not the first and sadly won’t be the last. Let’s stay focused and not loose hope! There will be sunnier, more peaceful days ahead.

Happy International Women’s Day!
❣️
Today we celebrate female empowerment👩‍👧There’s still a lot of work to do and today is a reminder of how we need to work towards achieving a world that is free of sexism and gender discrimination. Even in the 2021 white-collared world, women are still paid less and expected to work harder than the average man. Women are constantly having to fight battles to be heard, to have their opinions considered and to be valued equally to their male counterparts.

Consider this - how many females have paused long and hard when considering a solo trip; simply due to the dangers for women travelling alone? I bet the statistics are staggering! The truth is, women are often encouraged to travel with a buddy or at the very least execute travel plans with extreme caution, especially in foreign countries. The dangers exist for anyone and anywhere, however it’s not a surprise that women are seen as an easier target and are subject to more acts of violence than men.

While all this is equally sad and true, there are many things we can do to ensure we’re taking all the appropriate safety measures and travelling with all the information required to avoid hot spots and seek help quickly. In the spirit of supporting women, I’ll take this opportunity to give a shout out to a female owned business Based in Canada, focuses on solo travel and provides it’s followers with helpful tips, blogs, resources and encouragement needed to seek a solo adventure. For 10+ years their website and social media has built a community of travellers who share insights and suggestions and have helped so many people accomplish their travel goals!

Today we celebrate women - but let’s not forget our duty to spread awareness, SUPPORT one another and remind ourselves that the battle is ongoing. We need to continue making meaningful impacts, one glass ceiling at a time 💪🏼

Hello Instagram Friends and Happy New Year !!! 🥳 Thank you for following me on this venture as I take this pandemic as an opportunity to share travel experiences so that we may live vicariously through them for now. I appreciate the likes, DM’s and follows, and look forward to the day we could start planning vacations!

There’s no time like the present to introduce myself so here we go🙋🏻‍♀️Je m’appelle Stephanie, I’m 30 years old, married 2-ish years and live in a small town called Tottenham in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 I am a Paralegal⚖️by day and an avid traveller at all other possible moments 🧳

Funny/Ironic fact about me: I used to be deadly afraid of flying up until I was 21. I had an overpowering, all-consuming fear of crashing. Before flights I would take sedatives and recite endless prayers. Needless to say - I was THAT embarrassing passenger crying the entire flight. After some back to back trips those fears were quickly replaced by a strong desire to see the world 🌍 I am now a frequent flyer member and my longest flight has been 15 straight hours 💪🏼✈️

My most memorable trip would have to be the Empty Quarter desert 🏜 in Abu Dhabi in 2018. Doing yoga at sunset and riding camels at sunrise in the middle of an Arabian desert is something you don’t ever get over. I’m not going to lie to you all - I cried on that camel and I cried on that yoga mat 😩 my little wandering heart was full and I decided in that moment I wanted to help people experience moments like those. I’ve always had a knack for planning and building itineraries, and after a few trials runs with friends and family, I decided to offer up travel consulting services and help people build itineraries for their trips. I’ve been able to connect with so many people around the world who share the same passion. I’m grateful for those connections and can’t wait to pursue it all further once the world reopens!

Well that’s all for now folks! Cheers to a new year, new beginnings and cheers to the end of COVID real soon!! 🥂

🧡Valencia🧡〰️ La Ciudad de Las Artes y Las Ciencias

This port City is known as the City of Arts and Sciences🧬with futuristic interactive museums, a planetarium🪐and oceanarium🐳. Museum and art lovers are in Valencia as most museums are either free or very economical to enter.

On the flip side of it’s modernity, Valencia is also a treasure for old architecture (it is Europe after all). The City still holds many Roman and Moorish foundations amongst it’s street character, and even has it’s own unique style of gothic architecture -
A staple of Valencian Gothic architecture is the Valencian Cathedral or ... *ready*... Iglesia Catedral Basílica Metropolitana de la Asunción de Nuestra Señora de Valencia ...😅 This Cathedral was consecrated in 1238 and is home to what is said to be the genuine Holy Grail - a holy and official chalice from the 1st century used by Popes during special ceremony.

What is definitely no mystery is that Valencia is home to the authentic, mouth-watering Paella Valenciana 🥘. Another shocker - a true Valencian paella will never include chorizo 🤯 Don’t feel too bad if you had no idea; renowned chef Jamie Oliver got slammed by Valencianos after he added chorizo and chicken to rice and called it a paella 😬 A traditional paella will include shellfish, fish or meat, and is a must have when visiting the City!

Wrap it all up with endless street art, gorgeous cafes and lively nightlife, & you’ve got yourself another destination to add to that growing bucket list 📝🛫🇪🇸

Wouldn’t it be dreamy to wander through an enchanted forest with secret tunnels and fairytale palaces ? There’s a place where it all exists 🏰🌳 . . .

Sintra is a charming town on the outskirts of Portugal’s capital City. It attracts visitors from all over the world and offers a glimpse into the Middle Ages, taking tourists back in time through it’s winding paths and grandiose architecture. The palaces each offer it’s own fascinating story and boast medieval and gothic character. Landmarks such as the National Palace of Pena, Moorish Castle, and Quinta da Regaleira are tucked away in amongst luscious hillsides, making every step and turn an unexpected experience.

The palaces were once inhabited by rich miners and royalty. They have been maintained and protected and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The grounds are just as fascinating as the palaces themselves with winding gardens, and outdoor tunnels leading to water streams. The surroundings are playgrounds for the wealthy - full of grottos, viewing towers, chapels, stables....there’s not enough words to describe it all. You’ll have to see it to believe it !!

If medieval history and ancient treasures 💎 hidden among forests, welcoming you with secret passages and spiral staircases is your thing, look no more 🗺 A true adventure awaits 💫

Air Canada and WestJet are now offering FREE Coronavirus-19 related travel insurance for international travellers. Air Canada is offering this coverage on flights to any country purchased from now until October 21, 2020 and effective for trips taken until April 12, 2021. WestJet is offering insurance for travel to Europe, UK, Mexico and the Caribbean only. The coverage is offered for travel until August 31, 2021 and good for up to 21 days of the trip.
▫️
The coverage would include COVID-19 related medical costs, emergency travel and coverage for some mandatory quarantine expenses. Insurance providers such as Manulife and ToGo are receiving backlash from those who believe that incentivizing travel during a time when our government is strongly encouraging against it, is highly conflictive. The Canadian government is still advising against non-essential international travel as COVID-19 cases are still being reported. On the flip side, insurance companies are defending their actions by providing that air travel is required to move goods and keep our business economy going. They believe that until a vaccine is available, this provides a safe and efficient option for travellers while we continue to adapt to living with the virus for the foreseeable future.
▫️
How do you feel about all this? Is promoting more travel during a pandemic putting our country at risk of spreading the virus? Or is this coverage protecting our travellers and airline economy? 🏥🛫😷🇨🇦

Grief. Heartbreak. Emotional distress. These are feelings familiar to many and are moments in life that will test our faith. I know I’m not alone in saying that moments of anguish and loss can make you feel desperate and isolated. I’ve come to realize that in the midst of emotional traumas, travel can be a form of self-help to heal the mind and soul.
▫️
Travel as a form of mental health treatment has been a theory explored and proven to be true time and time again by those who have embarked on a journey and returned with clarity. No; this is not to say that travelling will provide a “cure” or absolve you of reality, but it is definitely a way to step back, distract the mind and stimulate the soul with appreciation!
▫️
Breaking out of a familiar, repetitive routine and stepping outside of your comfort zone can bring about extraordinary changes! Seeing first hand how others live can also help you gain some perspective and view the world differently. If you’re considering a longer trip, culture shock and learning to adapt to change can also be life altering. Travelling has the potential to teach us about patience and appreciation, and allow us to grow and expand our minds beyond our imagination! No matter the distance or destination, a change in scenery and routine can be a healthy step in the direction of healing and finding yourself💫
▫️
So, whether you’re going through a heartbreak or dealing with changes in your life that have proven difficult and draining, why not seize the opportunity and embark on something meaningful?! Consider it your chance to experience that “Eat, Pray, Love” moment🤍The world is vast and, if we allow it, ready to offer us whatever we are seeking🧳🛫
