Still icing my knees after trekking this 14-km hike over snow and ice in 4 hours 😅 I loved Norvan Falls, but this relatively flat trail kicked my butt and reminded me not to push myself so hard ❄️ I’m not a crazy fast hiker, and that’s okay. I like to take it slow and soak in the views 💦 . What about you? . . . . . #vancouverbc #hikevancouver #hikinginthesnow #winterhikes #vancouvertrails #waterfallsofinstagram #beautifulbc #bcwaterfalls #explorecanada #norvanfalls #waterfall💦

Excuse me, is this Canada in FEBRUARY? 😍 #whereisthesnow #canadianwinter #beautifulbc

Never in a million years ⏳ . I’m a planner. I have 5-year goals and an idea of where I’d like to be when I’m 40. I have clear hopes for my future; even if I’m not exactly sure how I’ll get there. . And yet. When I was 19 and first visited this city; when I was 21 and first lounged on this beach – I never would’ve imagined I’d be living right around the corner. Never in a million years. . Planning helps me accomplish things, but it also stresses me out. I feel like I don’t have enough time to go everywhere and see everything and do all the things I want to. But hey, I never planned to be living on Beach Ave in Vancouver, and here I am. . Things don’t go according to plan. And that’s okay. It’s your attitude to what you have right now that matters. . Me? I’m happy here🌻

Solved a murder mystery as a 1920s jazz singer last weekend, wbu? 🎶🎙🖤

What do you think: Are you still a nomad if you settle down? 🌎 . I got real personal in my latest article, “When Wanderers Grow Roots,” for @wearearchive (the best print-only magazine in Alberta 🇨🇦) . I’ve been writing travel stories for Archive since it began. It’s an amazing outlet for me to be reflective, honest and curious 🧩 . If you haven’t yet, I encourage you to subscribe (gotta have at least ONE traditional media you support, amiright?). If you’ve read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts below! 🏡 . . . . . . . #albertamagazines #writersofinstagram #albertawriters #canadianartist #supportlocal #settlingdown #nomadic #travelwriter #grandeprairie #grandeprairieab #exploretheworld #magazine
