I am constantly amazed at how beautiful this plane

I am constantly amazed at how beautiful this planet is. Our natural environment is full of incredible wonders across the globe, yet so much of that isn’t going to exist in the future if we keep going down this path. How many more headlines can we see about extreme fires, biodiversity collapses, and ice shelves caving in before it’s enough to take action? While we can all to our own part to help, the federal government needs to commit to taking action too. They are about to give the Canadian economy a multi-billion-dollar kick-start in an effort to recover from the COVID-19 health crisis, and this plan needs to prioritize our wellbeing and environmental issues. That’s why I’m calling on the Minister of Finance, @chrystiafreeland to commit to a #green and #justrecovery plan that commits to helping Canada transition to a cleaner and more equitable economy. Join me. Please visit the link in my bio to sign the online petition.⁣ @envirodefence #ad #oneearthonevoice #PeerOEOV3

Atlantic bubble travel 🌊 - Have you taken advan

Atlantic bubble travel 🌊 - Have you taken advantage of it yet? Let’s face it, if you’re living in Atlantic Canada it sucks that you can’t leave the bubble without facing a two week quarantine coming back. After what felt like never-ending quarantine this spring, I wasn’t willing to give up two weeks of our precious summer to leave, so I stayed local. I traveled all over Newfoundland, and took two trips outside of it - one to New Brunswick in July and another to Nova Scotia in August. (Sorry PEI - I owe you a visit)! Not only is this the perfect opportunity to see those places closer to home that you’ve always wanted to explore, but the bubble is a great way to safely travel right now and support local businesses. Most tour operators are barely staying afloat,so spending your money locally can make a huge difference in whose going to survive until next year when we all hope things go back to normal. As for safety, I felt very safe traveling through Newfoundland and the maritimes this summer. Even though cases have been quite low all summer and non-existent in many parts, there are still precautions everywhere. Everyone was respectful of my space, wore masks, and all businesses had enhanced cleaning and social distancing measures. For me, the best part about traveling close to home is that you can road trip. No worrying about close spaces on planes and limited luggage - you can just pack up the car with stuff and go. If you’re interested in road tripping around Cape Breton, check out my latest blog post for the best spots to visit! Do you have a travel bubble where you live? Have you taken advantage of it?

One of my last memories abroad was biking through

One of my last memories abroad was biking through the streets of Rome, which felt like I was in a dream. There's something so magical about Italy that leaves you with the feeling of wonder and awe, the one that makes you addicted to travel. Full of ancient history, diverse scenery, charming cities and irresistible food, Italy is the perfect destination to visit when it’s time to travel again. Have you been before? Let me know your fave place in Italy so I can add it to my list! #ad #enjoyitalyresponsibly #PeerITALIA

When I brought my few remaining positions and cat

When I brought my few remaining positions and cat back to Newfoundland last Christmas I never expected that I would be spending half of 2020 in Atlantic Canada, but this year had other plans for us all. After living in other parts of Canada for the last 7 years, I feel grateful for this opportunity to reconnect with where I’m from. Things have returned to a sense of normalcy as much as they can here, and it’s given me the chance to see more of Newfoundland then I ever have before. And thanks to the Atlantic travel bubble, I’ve had the chance to discover the beauty of my neighbouring provinces too. Last month I got to spend time exploring Nova Scotia, which has so much to offer. I loved my time in Halifax and taking day trips out of the city to explore cute communities like Peggys Cove. It’s not hard to see why this is one of Canada’s most famous lighthouses! I showed up late in the day as the sun was setting, which was actually the perfect time to visit. The sunset over the lighthouse was breathtaking! Has this year brought you somewhere you didn’t expect?

Whose soaking in that last bit of summer? One of my fave parts about Cape Breton was the amazing beaches! Couldn’t believe it when I saw how smooth the sand was, I didn’t expect to find that here. This is Ingonish beach inside Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Perfect place to come and relax after hiking in the park - there’s even a campground here you can stay on! Summer is so fleeting in Atlantic Canada! Can’t we just have it a little bit longer? ☺️ #creatorcoastns #visitnovascotia #visitcapebreton

Road trip anyone? The Cabot Trail is a 298km high

Road trip anyone? The Cabot Trail is a 298km highway that takes you through the stunning Cape Breton Highlands National Park. It’s considered to be one of the most scenic drives in the world and after spending the last week exploring it back and forth, I’d have to agree! While I loved driving along this road, taking it in from above on a helicopter tour with @celticairhelicoptertours was a whole new amazing perspective. Is this drive on your bucket list? #creatorcoastns #visitnovascotia #visitcapebreton

First waterfall of Cape Breton did not disappoint

First waterfall of Cape Breton did not disappoint 😍 These gorgeous falls are about half an hour drive from Inverness and a 15-minute hike in. It’s quite steep but they have rope all the path which makes it easier to get down! There were a few people when I got here but shortly after they left and I had this beauty all to myself to enjoy. The nature in Cape Breton has been amazing so far - can’t believe it took me so long to get here! #creatorcoastns #visitcapebreton #visitnovascotia @visitcapebretonisland @visitnovascotia

This is my kind of city! You don’t have to go f

This is my kind of city! You don’t have to go far to find outdoor adventure in Halifax 😄From the harbourfront activities to exploring nearby islands with beautiful beaches and historic forts. Not to mention all the other gorgeous parks, beaches, and fishing villages most of which are less then an hours drive away. Some ideas for things to do as pictured: 🚣‍♂️ Join a kayaking tour from downtown Halifax to explore the harbourfront 🎣 Visit Fisherman’s cove to explore the colourful cabins, gift shops and seafood dining 🏖Take a boat to McNabs island and enjoy the beautiful beaches ⚓️Take a tour to Georges Island to explore the underground tunnels, which was part of Halifax’s (very impressive) defence complex. It just opened to the public! 💦 Go tidal bore rafting on the Shubenacadie River (about an hour away) and get VERY wet 💕 Chill out on these hammocks right on the harbourfront. So cute! It’s been a pleasure exploring Halifax the last couple of days in partnership with @visitnovascotia . Now I’m off to Cape Breton Island to road trip along the Cabot trail which has been on my bucket list for SO long! Have you been before? Let me know if you’re got any recs! #creatorcoastns #visitnovascotia

Even though my trip to Italy got cut short this ye

Even though my trip to Italy got cut short this year, my time there only made my desire to go back even stronger. On one of my last days in Italy, we went for a walk along the streets of Rome with no real plan. Yet we found ourselves consistently stumbling upon incredible architecture, beautiful fountains, and ancient ruins. It was such a magical feeling to walk around a place with so much history and stories to tell. I can't wait to go back and see more of what Italy has when it's safe to travel again! Do you want to visit Italy? Let me know your dream Italy destination in the comments below! #ad #traveltoitaly #viaggioinitalia #PeerITALIA 📸 @kasiawrites
