Tips For Hiking & Back Country Camping
We were so lucky to be joined a second time by Deborah Peddle-Hann! She joined us again to talk about her new passion she picked up during the pandemic, back country hiking! She shares with us what you need to do to be prepared, what to expect, why she fell in love with this activity and shares resources you NEED to enjoy what can be a challenging physical activity. Her advice (and definitely ours too) start with small, shorter hikes and do your research about what it means to be truly prepared as a back country hiker!

Keeping Your Belongings Safe While Travelling
We do so much to keep safe while travelling but we can never lose sight of our belongings that we leave all day while we are out adventuring. Ensure you don’t leave any valuables around, utilize your room safe if you have one available and also, be a good guest! Not every situation is one to worry about but you don’t know which ones are so it is always better to be neat and tidy and treat the room with respect – this also makes it easier to spot if anything you belong is gone. When you travel like a hurricane, keeping track of your stuff is more tough. Don’t…

Be Open To Meeting People
Travelling means visiting new cultures, eating different food and oftentimes meeting new people! It isn’t for everyone but if you are out there exploring the world, you are likely open to chatting with locals or meeting fellow travellers! We chat about meeting locals in a pub, other Canadians at a resort in the Dominican Republic, a Disney pal from the UK and some lovely Oklahomans in a bar in Maine! We aren’t talking about the obligation to then pal around with these folks during your whole trip, but more of a fun evening chatting or even keeping in touch after you travel. The world is full of great people, we…

Do You Need Printed Travel Documents?
We know it sounds archaic but stick with us for a moment! When you make those flight or hotel or car reservations AND you have a printer available, take a few moments to print out copies of your confirmations. We use them to organize ourselves while on the go when we think, where are we going next? But also, you can’t always depend on technology. What if you arrive somewhere and you have no data or your phone is dead?! Printing copies – you may never use them but if you need them, you will sure wish you had them!

“Planning” To Go With The Flow When Traveling
Jenn feels that one thing that might be missing from her travels is a bit of empty space in her day planner. She loves to go go go and with an upcoming trip to Scotland she really wants to try and have some time set aside to do – nothing…or something, really see what happens and try to go with the flow. Meggan used to be an over planner but is in recovery and with help from her husband Peter has been working towards some plans and also just going with the flow and it’s a nice break from past travels of anxiety and, when are we going to do…

Best Things To Do & Eat In Thunder Bay, Ontario
Thunder Bay, Ontario, may not be an obvious “yes let’s go there” destination, but we really feel it should be! Jenn has had the opportunity to travel there 4 times, and now we all want to go Known for it’s lovely waterfront on Lake Superior, amazing outdoor activities for all seasons and lots of yummy places to eat – who wouldn’t want to visit!? One activity we are both now dying to do is dig for Amethyst – how cool does that sound? As we get back out there travelling, consider this jewel of Northern Ontario.
