2024 was an amazing year filled with new adventures! I was fortunate to spend time in the Caribbean (Bahamas, Jamaica, Cayman Islands), Europe (France, Germany, Austria, Hungary), Africa (South Africa), the U.S (Florida, New York, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Michigan), and Canada (Nova Scotia, P.E.I, Quebec), and of course in my home province of Ontario as well. Here are just a few photos I took in some of these places. Do you recognize any? Life is short… see all the places… do all the things! Who do you want to create memories with in 2025? I can help!

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to visit Robben Island, site of the prison where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for 18 years of his 27 year prison sentence. Just outside of Cape Town, South Africa, Robben island was also a former l***r colony as well as a base in WWII before they housed political prisoners during the Apartheid era. Today it is a museum and tours are led by former political prisoners and guards. This is where Mandela wrote his memoir, “Long Walk to Freedom” in secret. It is a must read to understand his incredible story.

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens outside Cape Town, South Africa. Beautiful plant life and stunning views. My favourite was from the tree top canopy walk. The gardens are easily accessible by the Cape Town Hop on Hop off Bus. You can spend a full day hiking around the massive grounds getting lost among all the little garden pathways. A wonderful quiet activity away from the hustle and bustle of the city. [email protected]

The views around Cape Town, South Africa are simply stunning. These ones are of beautiful Hout Bay.

Our day in and South Africa. Felt pampered at with the infinity pool and view of the golf course and mountains on one side and vineyards on the other. We explored Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, with its charming scenery, shops and market, and were treated to a wine tasting at . Also along the way was a stop outside where Nelson Mandela spent the last 14 months of his 27 year sentence before his release.

, South Africa…. A 2 hr flight from JoBerg to George, then a scenic drive along the Garden Route to the pretty retirement community of Knysna. We took a boat cruise to visit the majestic featherbednaturereserve for a scenic hike and sumptuous lunch, followed by a visit to beautiful shark waters of (my first time at the Indian Ocean!) We ended with a little shopping and then dinner at Dockside Seafood restaurant capped off with a perfect cocktail and a magnificent sunset.
