I know a lot of you are getting itchy feet. You're feeling that wanderlust but you can't do anything about it. You're feeling a bit trapped, a bit stir crazy. And you're not the only one.
🌏
Something that helps me is daydreaming about trips to come in the future! Because eventually, this will pass, and we'll be able to wander again. Sometimes planning that adventure is enough to push back the wanderlust just enough to stay sane!
🌏
To help with those itchy feet, I just posted a new blog post, The Ultimate 2 Week Costa Rica Itinerary! I've planned the perfect Costa Rican trip down to a T, and if you need something to help feed that wanderlust until we're able to safely travel agin, give it a read and try planning your own trip!

You crave a Costa Rican adventure. You yearn to hike through mysterious misty rainforests, and

It's so wild looking back at this photo, taken last June, and knowing this cave is gone. It would have melted away months ago, sometime last summer, and a new one would have taken it's place somewhere else. That cave will soon melt too, making room for the next one, and the next, and the next.

It's an interesting reminder that change, whether big or small, is inevitable, and all you can do is just go with the flow. Especially during strange times like these

New blog post!! Costa Rica - the land of misty rainforests, colourful creatures, slumbering volcanoes, beautiful beaches, and the nicest people. I absolutely adore this country, and could not recommend it enough. And I can't wait to show you all the awesome stuff there is to do there!

Dragonglass, a mix of glacier ice and volcanic ash. Obviously, a rare thing to come across, even in the bizarre country that is Iceland.

There are plenty of glacier ice caves tours you can take, but this one was truly unique from the others, which is exactly why we decided to do it. You can find ice caves all over the place, but no where else in the world can you find one mixed with with volcanic ash. No where else in the world can you find Dragonglass.

A few days ago I shared a blog post all about our experience at the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary, and now there is a video to go with it! If you'd like to see these great fluffy creatures in action, or if you can't decide if you'd like to visit them yourselves, give the video a watch. :)

Don't worry, I'm still alive! 😂

Just relaxing in the Blue Lagoon after weeks of camping in Iceland.

A lot of people choose to do the Blue Lagoon first thing, but I actually think it's better to do it last, for two reasons! First, when your muscles ache from exploring the bizarre landscape and your bones are cold after constantly being buffeted by the harsh winds, it is the perfect way to relax, unwind, and warm up before heading home. Secondly, the silica in the water actually does some strange things to your hair, and can make it stiff. I could not have imagined trying to deal with my weird stiff hair while camping for another two weeks.

We hung out at the Blue Lagoon the morning of our flight, and we are very happy with that choice. .

Yamnuska Wolf-Dog sanctuary is a non-profit organization that gives a safe home to wolf-dogs who are in need of rescuing, whether because they’re being neglected or they’ve been abandoned, like this fluffy boy here. Wolfdogs are often too doggy too live in the wild, and too wolfy to live in households, so with nowhere else to go, they end up at the sanctuary.

I had no idea how many types of fear existed, and I had no idea one person could feel them all in one day.

Check out my latest blog post all about our adventures under the earth, where I thought I might die of terror or just plain die because...well, the mountain collapses on us or our safety lines fail or something I couldn't even imagine. And where I learned that there's nothing to fear but fear itself.

Nothing makes jet leg more confusing then the midnight sun!
I've mentioned Iceland's light nights before, but I still can't get over it! This was our first night in Iceland, and this picture was taken at 12AM. We knew this happened in the summer but didn't expect to actually catch it ourselves, since we were there in early June. And let me tell you, being jet legged with a midnight sun made it almost impossible guess what time it was 😂

Halfway through the summer months, and here I am thinking about cooler weather already! Have you started planning your fall/winter adventures yet? Banff, Canada is an amazing winter destination, and I've just posted a new video all about Hiking Johnston Canyon, where you can spot frozen waterfalls galore!

From within the bowels of a glacier, streaked with ancient ash.
Iceland is full of glaciers, and as they melt, the water running through them create tunnels. These tunnels can be explored, though you need a guide to do so. It's best to do them in the winter so you can see them in all their glory. By May they were already starting to melt around us, and apparently in a month, this one will be gone! So if you want to see one of these ice caves, don't go in mid-summer!

New Blog Post: Riding The Banff Gondola - Hit it Or Skip It?

Fun Facts:
• The mountain the Gondola goes up is called Sulphur Mountain.

The La Fortuna Waterfall - a great way to relax after so, so many hikes in the rainforests of Costa Rica, if you can survive the 408 steps down to get there.

Is it worth the climb down? Absolutely. But is it worth the climb back up? That's up to you

New Video! My review of Dog Sledding in Banff, Alberta.

Fun Facts I learned:

- Dogs p**p while running.
- Dogs need to learn to lope which is the most efficient form of running while mushing.
- Some dogs can only run sideways towards the left, others only go towards the right, just like we’re left handed out right handed. Also like us, some dogs can be ambidextrous. It’s important while picking your dog team that you keep in mind each direction each dog likes to run.
- Siberian Huskies are the more well known huskies, which are fluffy and bigger. But it’s the Alaskan huskies, who are more smooth coated and agile, that do more of the mushing

The sunlight sparkles golden through the pine trees, the brisk breeze of winter kisses our cheeks, and the utter silence of the Canadian forest is broken only by the crunch of snow under our sleigh and the happy panting of the running Huskies.

Fun Fact: The dogs are trained to p**p while running. What a handy skill.

Winter might be almost over, but perhaps you're already planning your adventures for next year!

When someone mentions Banff, Canada, you immediately picture the deep blue waters of Lake Louise shimmering under the sun, or the jagged mountains of the Rockies stretching towards the skies.

What doesn’t often come to mind though, is a winter wonderland. But here’s the thing – Banff is just as amazing – maybe even more so – to visit in the winter.

And I promise you, it’s pretty hard to run out of things to do! Here are 10 worthwhile activities to do if you ever find yourself in a wintery Banff – which you totally should.
