Welcome to the third episode of our "Journey Through Georgia" series! In this adventure, we venture deep into one of Georgia’s most stunning and remote wilde...

Finally!!!!!

I'm working on sharing my incredible hikes with you, and now have 2 of the 4 day hike in Georgia out.

Here's the newest one! I'd really appreciate comments on the youtube post letting me know any questions you have on hiking, AND to share with me your favourite hikes and foods.

EDIT: Couldn't let it be and this is now the new upload with sound fixed!
I know there's an issue with the sound in the middle. It's a glitch that sometimes happens in rendering after editing, that I found only after uploading to Youtube. Can we get by it so I can move on or will my ND brain hyperfixate and spend more time trying to fix it for a re-upload? Stay tuned.

Either way, day 3 coming!! Please subscribe and hit the notification bell so you see when it's out.

Day Two of the incredible (and hiker famous) Four Day trek in remote Georgia near the Russian border. Solo hiking woman. NOW WITH THE SOUND FIXED. whooo hoo...

Westjet sales finally got lit and I bought into my own stocks.
Stock and trades.
Stock into my experiences.
Trading in all financial comforts and extras and understanding deeply what little is need vs extra... like much of my grocery budget, cutting out trips n gas costs, walking more, cutting day to day outtings completely...all for the wealth investment of extended travels!

For me, worth it.

Plan is 5 weeks in europe centered around hiking the TMB again and then Iceland to hike the Laugavegur trail with the extention.

We are all so different in how we invest in our own lives.
How do you? Share with me what you're spending your focus on, where your money buys into your choices and happiness, and share if you're willing any areas you feel a need to prioritize better.

Photo is of me overlooking ancient cave homes in Cappadocia, Turkey on my 6month wander in 2022.

Loving Westjet's huge sale where nothing is on sale.
I've been watching really close the last few months. BIG up to 65% off sale and all I'm finding is about 10% off.

Oooohhhhh look I did a thing ;P

AdventuressAli cross post...
Edited a video of a hike I did recently, the Green Monster icefalls. Great practice, really- for the BIG edits I'm working on. Would SUPER appreciate you taking a look and subscribing!!

Toxic Man Math: A supportive famous woman takes up less than half a percent of air time (0.41% of over all time), generated an additional $331.5m in brand value for the Chiefs and NFL, brings in MILLIONS of new fans, yet Toxic Men say she's taking too much and ruining it all. HA!


-- Notes: Finding timing info wasn't easy - 2024 Super Bowl game started at 3:40 pacific, with the last points scored were at 7:19pm, for a grand total including breaks and half time of 3 hours and 39 minutes.
That's 13,140 seconds give or take to the timing of the last goal. Supposedly she was shown for 54 seconds = 0.41% of Tay Tay.

This beautiful couple were taking pre marriage photos in the yard before giving their vows on the gorgeous ridge, so I invited them and their photographer up for a few photos with the view.

Congratulations!!

Ya'll know I'm horrible with names, but Franchesco and... William I think. ??

May your future together be ever an adventure of upliftments in laughter.

I *REALLY* know how to travel in style as a dirtbagger. Havent had ice in my cooler for days but having a cold gin drink thanks to the beach pub.
You're welcome. Dont muck this up, be polite and use a babywipe ya filthy hippy!! Hehehe 😉🤩

Ps and on that note, I'm not entirely sure how this much dirt got this ground into my legs and I do wonder if a shower and scrub brush will clean me up if laying in the lake can't even 😆

Reasons I 💖💗💞


🚗
Some photos from waking up this morning, the lake stay, the festival setup, and the river by the camp on my way in.
Gorgeous life!!
And for others doing this, remember that to have this WE must maintain it. Food scraps are garbage, not to be left. Gross, they don't break down like you think, look like garbage, stink, AND bring animals. And ruin animals lives.

Pack out what you bring in. And don't wash or p*e near water. 💞


And now on to another adventure before heading home for a bday drink with friends.

Three Queens at Queens, solving the world's problems....

When you are open to others the world becomes a miracle.
Got sat at the bar by two fabulous women. 3.5 hours of intense awesome conversation ensues..... politics, economics, education, intersections of all of the above and women's roles in society..... incredible.
Take away- we need a podcast.

Sometimes solo hiking is a bit of hilarity topping a sh^t sandwich. 🤣Here's me on the TMB (Tour du Mont Blanc) in the rain on top of a mountain in a falling down mini tent.
Yay backpacking. 🫠😆

And this right here is why I have such a good sense of humour - doing stuff like this for a few decades. Up a mountain alone, my hand is kinda busted (suuuup...

Egypt is GRANDE.
And I really loved this hat sold to me near here, at the Valley of the Kings.

Sometimes the pushy sales ppl at markets are right. :) i really DID need this hat. I mean, I had a hat of course. But this one was waaay better and stuck with me through my whole 6 months and 12 countries.

Spring hiking is my fav! Such a quiet day in Bragg Creek even on Sunday, something I can't get in summer. Definitely glad to have my microspikes and poles, and if you follow my posts, this time WITH snow baskets!! Haha!! Very good thing, too!


What are your favorite spring hikes?
44 years old, keeping strong so I can keep mobile and able, especially with an aging body and old injuries.

This was me on the classic Sulpher Springs to Riverview loop. 12km 416m elevation though my phone clocked me at only 383m. Slushy snow, icy slicks, muddy... wonderful.
But my shoes are leaking so my toes were very chilly. Time for a seam sealer check or possibly new hiking shoes.

Icefalls and serenity dreams.
.
Will you be creating wonderland dreams this year? Let's share our hopes!
I'll start... I'm still hoping to get a sweet place and create a new home. Not so much to settle in as to create options with. ... and in the mean time, I swear I can hear Croatia whispering soft invite songs across the spring breezes. Hahaha!!!
Here I am feeling rather epic for pushing through fears of breaking ice and carrying on to these amazing falls up in Jasper. If you're going to go on the Maligne Canyon icewalk you can get a guide with any of many companies or else be aware and cautious as the spring melt is softening the ice .

Castles on the hill? Quaint buildings and shops abound.

Some small towns retain all their charm.
Bellingham, WA in the USA has ever been a favourite and was even a favourite of my mom's in the 60s!
I hope they continue to protect what makes it such a lovely destination.
Where are some of your old school charming favourite spots, anywhere in the world?

A story of mouthy joys and a lovely way to get out in winter.
Hot Chocolate Festival Calgary successes.
Kristi spirited, Lina's, Cornerstone and reGrub deerfoot.

Give me life with the cherry on top! The Calgary hot chocolate fest is tasty!
Seen here, Re:Grub deerfoot meadows and their very pink strawberry hot chocolate with a seriously good macaroon heart. This reminded me of my early 20s drinking strawberry milk.
The sauce was excellent but maybe not the best for a couple friends with ADHD. Talk about being hyper after!

Things to do in yyc!!

Come on outta that armchair for some mountain magic.

Lovely and easy walk right near Banff, the Hoodoo trail sure doesn't disappoint on views. But as always in winter packed trails I highly suggest bringing microspikes.
