It’s wild out there travelling right now – delayed flights, lost baggage, cancelled flights (even some cancelled mid-air!); it can be intimidating! Don’t fear, Jenn comes through on this Travel Tip Tuesday with some easy and manageable tips to help you navigate the chaos! Some big keys of course are going to be proper planning, give yourself enough time and understand that as much as you do plan, it may not work out how you hope it will!

Make Sure To Take Travel Photos Of Yourself
Have you ever gotten home from a trip and realized that it looks like you just have a bunch of photos of scenery and no pictures of you? Or you traveled as a couple or with a friend and it looks like they traveled alone because there are no photos of you together?! Meggan shares how she makes photos a priority, because once you get home, photos and memories are all you have!

Why You Need A Travel Journal
How do you want to remember your travels? You may think just having photos is enough, but a travel journal can help you remember the details, the little moments, and how much fun you had! Jenn likes to write her travels down. Meggan likes to use video and short notes. Either way it’s fun to look back on your past travels!

Trying New Foods While Traveling
When we think of folks who really love to travel, we think of open mindedness. We are very aware that there are lots of food restrictions due to allergies or choices people make about what they will and won’t eat (vegan, vegetarian, etc) however travelling does introduce us to other cultures and ways of life and that includes food! Our tip this week is discussing branching out from what you normally eat and immerse yourself in a food experience. It doesn’t have to be every meal but if you haven’t eaten like a local at least, were you really there? Be adventurous for at least one meal on your travels…

Solo Travel & Owning An Airbnb
Kat – Owner/Operator of Nova Scotia Airbnb ‘Luna Rosa’ joins us! She stops by to talk about her own travels across the world, which include some amazing treks as a female solo traveller! She shares stories of her time out in the world, some of her adventures and misadventures. Kat also shares with us what it is like to run an Airbnb, especially one that is so special to their family – built by her dad on family-owned property! It was great insight into the other side of Airbnb and also some great inspiration for anyone considering solo (or couple) adventure travel!

How To Choose Clothing For Travel
We are all out of practice travelling and packing has always been a conundrum for some – I mean what do you pack for a longer trip with multiple weather scenarios? Jenn talks about how she decides what to pack and she gets ready for her next big trip, what she is having trouble deciding between. Our advice is less pants than shirts and try to also book at least one accommodation, possibly in the middle of your trip, that has access to a washing machine! (although the sink will do in a pinch)

Booking Your Admissions In Advance
When it comes to travel, one of the changes you can expect in some places is that entry requirements include a pre-purchased ticket! Due to some capacity concerns that still exist, please check in advance for the activities you wish to take part in so you don’t show up disappointed! Plus, having your ticket booked in advance can also help you plan better around that activity!

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…
