28 on the 28th 🥂 I had the best champagne birthday during quarantine 💕 So thankful to everyone who wished me happy birthday! 🥳 Thanks for making me feel special 🎂
Anyone else miss coffee shops? ☕️ . Writing from a local café puts me in a vibrant environment and increases my creativity ✨ . Working from my bed isn’t quite the same... 😂 . But I’m still trying my best, and right now, that’s more than enough 💕 . (Even if I end up playing videos games and watching Kitchen Nightmares most evenings instead 🤦🏻‍♀️)
NEW BLOG POST ✨ 28 Places to Visit Before You’re 28 ✈️ . I’ve always tried to keep my country count above my age 🎂 . As I’m turning 28 next week (on the 28th!), I wanted to share some places where I’ve had amazing experiences 🌎 . This isn’t a list of my favourite destinations, best cities or even most interesting locations 🗺 . It’s an honest collection of 28 destinations that I loved visiting and helped shape me into the travel writer and avid explorer I am today 🥰 . Of course, I would recommend travelling to way more than these 28 places – but it’s a start! 🌤
My latest article for @exploremagazine will take you up this volcano in South Korea 🇰🇷 *no plane ticket or hiking boots required* 🥾 . www.explore-mag.com/Vicarious-Adventure-Youre-going-to-hike-a-volcano-on-Jeju-Island-South-Korea . . . #secondpersonnarrative #alongfortheride #hikingjeju #jejuisland #vicarioustravel #hike #volcano #southkorea #newarticle #travelwriter #travelfromhome #throwback #chooseyourownadventure #travel
Office vibes ☀️ . I worked from home before this whole pandemic, but it looked pretty different. . I’d go for hikes and film/photograph/write about outdoor adventures for @exploremagazine . I’d meet my girls for happy hour downtown or go on a date with @tavisgilmore . I’d go for a drive with my mama or watch a movie at her place . I’m happy to continue working from home, but I can’t WAIT to have some sense of normalcy back 🙏 I miss my people 💕 . . . #workfromhome #wfh #stayhome #thankyouhealthcareworkers #staysafe #canadiangirl #sunshine #officevibes #explorebclater #explorebclocal #safeathome
“Adventure isn’t hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day to day obstacles of life – facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our resources against the unknown and in the process, discovering our own unique potential.” —John Amatt 🌲💦
