Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I posted on - so I thought I would say hi 🤗

For those that didn’t know, I’ve been slowing down business to focus on raising baby number two - this summer we welcomed little Numi into our lives.

I’m still happy to help plan custom adventures around the globe for my wonderful clients but just doing so at a lower capacity. As always, reach out if you have any upcoming travel plans and need assistance curating your dream trip.

Travel has certainly changed over the last few years. What’s on your bucket list?

Had the privilege to visit a great friend in the French Alps this past weekend - we were lucky to have beautiful weather where we could see the Mont Blanc massif, the highest mountains of Europe, and enjoyed outdoor dining, snowshoeing, eating fondue, and exploring the charming mountain village of Chamonix.

Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a great summer and taking advantage of spending a lot of time with friends & family and exploring places closer to home!

We just returned from a little family holiday exploring close to my new home (Stockholm) and headed to the west coast of Sweden with a stop in between in Örebro to see the castle and break up the drive. Sweden is an amazing place to travel with your family, very inclusive and welcoming, even for our dog 🐕 We ate some great food (especially seafood), stayed in a wonderful boutique hotel right on the water, and of course spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful coastal landscapes. I highly recommend a visit!

We’d love to hear where you have been spending time this summer!

As a visitor you would get really confused seeing witches coming out at this time of year in Sweden, but it just so happens that a mini-Halloween takes place on either the Thursday or Saturday before Easter. Little girls dress up in rags and old clothes, big skirts and shawls and go door to door with a copper kettle looking for treats.

The tradition is said to come from the old belief that witches would fly to a German mountain the Thursday before Easter to cavort with Satan. On their way back, Swedes would light fires to scare them away, a practice honoured today by the bonfires and fireworks across the land in the days leading up to Sunday.

This year, the little witches won’t be coming out for obvious reasons, but looking forward to celebrating this tradition in the years to come!

What are some fun Easter traditions you have experienced?

22/03/2020

We’re staying safe & healthy in Sweden - hang in their everyone! We’ll get through this ❤️✌🏻🌲

We've been laying low and keeping a close eye on how this global situation is progressing. On a positive note, although we are practicing social distancing and putting a hold on all of our travel plans all the virtual support we have for one another is amazing to see!

For now, let's stay healthy, practice some social distancing and continue to support each other virtually. And, if you are able to, continue to support your local businesses during this tough time :)

If you have any questions or want to reach out to us we are happy to assist you any way we can!

It is no coincidence that the retreat will be held at this sacred and earthly heart-centered land. Deeply intimate and heart-led, this yoga retreat will be an invitation for you to come home.
