Had a great long weekend showing off all the quirky elements of my hometown in northern Alberta, from quadding at the Dunes to climbing the world’s largest beaver 😂🇨🇦🤠 . . #ilovewhereimfrom #smalltowngirl #grandeprairie #beaverlodge #quadding #thedunes #grandeprairiealberta #albertagirl #berta #beaver #hometownpride
Me and my beautiful mama in NYC ❤️ I’m so lucky to have her inspire my adventures, and even go on some with me! Next up: Ireland 🇮🇪🥰
In my latest blog post/poem, I talk about a problem that I’m certainly not immune to. ✈️ . I loathe watching tourists hop off a bus just to snap photos for Instagram likes and hop back on without appreciating what they’ve seen... but I also enjoy getting a good travel photo on the road. 📸 . However, I recognize the dangers of travelling for that reason above genuine connection. 🤳 . Even when I’m on an adventure for work, I push myself to put my phone away, stop snapping pictures and just breathe in and appreciate the moment. 🏔 . Do you agree or disagree? Read my poem and let me know -> link in bio @alison_abroad ❤️
I struggled to edit this photo, because this waterfall seriously needs #nofilter 😍💦 . I also struggled to even make it to this spot. I felt like fainting for the majority of this hike, and though I’m happy I got to see Crooked Falls, I know I should’ve stopped trekking while experiencing such intense light-headedness and nausea 🤒 DON’T do like I did and DO listen to your body on adventures 🙏 . #crookedfalls #vancouverhikes #hikebc @myyervana @n_grahamcracka @exploremagazine @derekmeetsworld
Anyone else ready for warm summer days? 🙋🏻‍♀️ . I’m heading back to Hali to graduate from my MFA program in May... after a 10-day Ireland trip! 🇮🇪😍 . Pls send me your Ireland travel tips 🙏 . . . #travelwriter #girlslovetravel #girlswhoexplore #solofemaletravel #travelblogger #canadiantraveller #irelandtravel #exploreeverywhere #glt #discoverhalifax
