Memories in Belgium. Ghent was one of the most unique cities I have come across on my travels. It's old, has a medieval vibe, and has this rustic charm. Not only is the city beautiful, but the waffles were to die for! I would go back in a heart-beat.

Perfect solitude. The sound of silence, crickets chirping, water droplets falling. Amazing nature 😌 ✨ 👌

When traveling to Thailand, it's important to do your research on ethical Elephant sanctuaries. Not all of them are honest and have lots of unethical issues behind the scenes (Video link below of what other organizations do). I visited the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, and it was the most memorable experience I will never forget. These creatures are so beautiful and intelligent and deserve the best care. I would recommend Elephant Nature Park. If you are looking for more information for now or in the future contact me directly [email protected]

I'm imagining the wind in my hair, dipping my toes in the pristine aquamarine waters, feeling the sun on my skin. Absolute paradise.
Bermuda has some of the best tropical weather all year round. The island of Bermuda is layered with gorgeous pink coral and limestone. It’s a volcanic island located East of the USA and Canada. There are many activities to enjoy including; snorkeling, diving, 19,000 yards of golf on 6 different courses, and you can hike the Bermuda Railway Trail National Park from one end of the island to the other.

Best of all, the flight is only 2 hours 45 mins from Toronto!

Tourism in Bali is generated by its people. A friend of ours who we still remain in touch with is in need of help. Dessy and her family will lose their home and have not received any government support or assistance during COVID-19, as of March 2020. She's someone I would recommend to all my clients if they want a fantastic tour guide. She is very kind and warm and would go above and beyond to make sure all of her guests would have an amazing trip. I would only share if I felt the cause is needed. A friend of hers Emily from the states has set up a go fund me page.

In Bali, the tour guides are 100% dependent on tourism. Since there is no tourism now, so many… Emily Jenkins needs your support for Help for Bali Tour Guides

Taking a moment to enjoy the peace 🕊 Sometimes its good to take some time, reflect on choices, learn from mistakes and start new beginnings. Nature is a good place to start. Connecting your mind and body to life's roots, and experiencing peace alone can be good. It gives us an opportunity to learn more about ourselves. I hope everyone's day is positive and enlightening, and safe this long weekend. 😊 💛 👈👈

On the Blog | How To Protect Yourself and Others During a Flight? Here are some quick tips in case your planning to fly during the pandemic.

http://www.stylistnomad.com/on-the-blog-1/2020/7/16/how-to-protect-yourself-and-others-during-a-flight

Here are some great quick tips for a safer flight, and how you can protect yourself and others during a flight.

07/13/2020

Tips for a safer flight:

1. Masks are mandatory, it's recommended to have a double-sided mask with a filter.

2. Make sure to bring your own snacks/food that are allowed on the flight. Don't order anything on the cart or use the tray tables.

3. Wipe down and disinfect your seat before sitting down. After make sure to sanitize your hands.

4. Try not to drink too much before or during your flight, so you won't need to use the bathroom.

5. Don't be afraid to let people know to keep their distance when in lines.

If you do need to purchase any food or drink, most airlines offer tap payments. Each passenger is spread out to "every other" seat. The air is replaced every 3 minutes and I've heard from some passengers that people do "keep their distance" and have been respecting this guideline. Each country has a "quarantine" requirement for foreign visitors to self isolate up to 2 weeks, so make sure to check before booking or advise your travel agent for the information.

Hope this helps, for anyone, thinking of booking a flight!
Feel free to reach out if your need any more info.

Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful weekend. When I reflect on previous adventures I have had, I feel blessed and grateful for the opportunity, but also the chance now to really step back and enjoy the comfort of travel close to home. I feel like I have explored more of my "backyard" than I ever had in my own city within these past few weeks (ha-ha) but really, Ontario is beautiful and there are lots of wonderful rural and unique places, especially in nature. It's good to take time to appreciate the little things. The big adventures can come later ;)

Happy Wellness Wednesday | I wanted to share my experience with yoga for the last 2 months, and regardless of the current covid situation, I believe its important to take care of your mind, and body through physical activity, exercise, and yoga as often as you can (your body will thank you, and you'll feel so much better). It really calms the mind and helps start the day off right.
Here's a quick video of my everyday morning yoga routine. I focus on my breathing, stretching, technique, balance, relaxing and I find its helping me learn to understand my body. It really gives me the chance to really de-stress before I begin my day. 🥰❤ I'm still learning, I'm no expert at yoga, but after the past 2 months straight of yoga almost every day, I feel better, I have less lower back pain, I can almost reach my toes...😅{ never could do that } I feel a bit more flexible, my breathing is more eased and it helps bring more oxygen to the mind (less headaches, more mindful and positive thinking).
I wanted to share my experience with yoga, and its customizable, so you can learn and do it however makes you feel good too 🙌💕

Lately I have been feeling, exhausted, down, and even more tired then usual. Ever since this whole quarantine situation, It really effected my thinking, my feelings and overall adapting to some major changes, and the determination on how to become more of a self-starter. .
I just wanted to share that "your not alone" in this process, whether your struggling with depression, anxiety, boredom, loss or confusion. Your not alone. As a community and distant family, that shouldn't stop us from coming together, working together, sharing content, information and uplifting our spirits. I know these are hard times, but let's continue to be positive, show empathy and be an open-ear, even to those whom we don't even message or speak to on the daily. Just reach out, see if people are doing ok. Connect and make new friends/collaborations. Whatever it is, maybe you want to share a new idea or just talk about your day. Really dig deep into your passions, what sparks life in your hidden interests or hobbies. Now's the time to really dig deep and explore new opportunities, make mistakes and experiment. .
Sooner or lately the quarantine will lift, people will get out of isolation and we can learn to be more social again. Life will get busy again, and more difficult to be present. But I believe the kindness will continue to grow. But in the meantime, let's make the best of it, let's enjoy the little things, take time for ourselves and not feel guilty about it.
I think throughout this pandemic the most i've spent money on was food, and it "adds up", so if you know someone in need of food or essentials maybe drop it off on their porch, or send something in the mail to make their day. Take this time and really reflect on things, but also use this time to create, help and share. Just a food for thought. We are all in this together. Thank you for following and supporting my page. Sending love and good vibes to everyone. 💖😊
