“You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart always will be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.” - Miriam Adeney This quote perfectly explains how I’ve been feeling lately. When I look at this photo, it makes me miss my life in Alberta and weekend escapes in the mountains. When I think about leaving Toronto, it makes me yearn for nights out on the town with my friends here. And I could say something similar for so many other places. Parts of my heart are scattered all over the world. And sometimes I wonder if I ever will feel completely at home again - but it’s the price we pay for the joys of experiencing so much else. Do you ever feel like this?

In the mood to go conquer a mountain ✌️ Unfortunately for me Toronto isn’t know for its mountains. But it’s got me thinking that wherever I do end up, there must be mountains nearby! Do you live near mountains? Go take advantage of them! Photo taken at Nanga Parbat base camp trek in Pakistan, the 9th highest mountain the world 😍 . . . #pakistantravel #visitpakistan #nangaparbat #girlswhohike #mountainscapes #hiketheworld #shehikes #mountainscenery #discoverpakistan #girlswhoexplore

Sailing into life like 😁 To be perfectly honest my future has never looked so unknown, but in the best possible way. For the first time in a long time, I don’t really know what I’m doing after the new year. And that’s both super exciting and overwhelming. There are so many options out there. So many paths, so many countries, so much to experience. Where do you think I should go? I have no idea what’s on my horizon, but I’m going into it with a big smile ahead. 📸 taken at the beautiful Lake Attabad in Northern Pakistan . . . #travelpakistan #attabadlake #northernpakistan #visitpakistan #hunza #solofemaletraveler #traveltheworld🌍 #exploremoreoutdoors #travelforever #damestravel

Happy Waterfall Wednesday 🌊 🌈 😍 October is an interesting time to visit Victoria Falls because it’s the driest point of the year. I’m not gonna lie, when I first got to the park and walked around I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. It’s supposed to be one of the most impressive waterfalls in the world, and there was hardly any water! But after spending the week in Livingstone, I realized that it’s actually not such a bad time to be there. You can only access the devils pool (where you swim on top of the waterfall) while the water is low, otherwise it would be dangerous. It’s also when you can go swimming under the waterfall, and rafting through the Zambezi River (one of the best river rafting experiences in the world). Looking back, I’m grateful to have been there during the dry season and gotten the chance to do all these once in a lifetime experiences, which completely made up for the lack of water. If you want to visit Victoria Falls and see it at its highest volume, then you should visit from February to May. But if you want to partake in low water activities like full-day rafting and devils pool, then the best time is August to January. What’s the most impressive waterfall you’ve seen? 😁 . . . #victoriafalls #zambia🇿🇲 #visitafrica #africatravel #waterfallchaser #devilspool #solofemaletraveler #waterfallsofinstagram #beautifulafrica #traveltheworld🌍

Surfs up in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 🏄‍♀️ Throwback to that time I tried to learn to surf. Kinda disappointed in myself that I haven’t gone since, and thinking about going somewhere warm this winter to try again. Suggestions? I was thinking Costa Rica, I can’t get enough of that country! If you want to learn to surf and find yourself around Sri Lanka, I highly recommend Weligama! It’s a great place for beginners with lots of great surf schools and steady, easy waves. I wrote a whole post about why Weligama is such a great surf town! Have you tried surfing before? 🏄 🌊

This month on the blog is all about volunteering with wildlife! It’s something I’ve done a few times now on my travels, and each experience has been so unique. Not only does it allow you to give back the lives of animals (who so badly need our help), but it can help develop your skills, take you to remote parts of the world, and reconnect you with nature in a new way. Check out my recent blog posts for more inspo about the benefits of volunteering with wildlife and some great projects around the world you can join today!

Trying to figure out in my brain how this was almost a year ago! It honestly feels like just the other day I was coming back from my year long trip around the world, yet somehow another year has came and passed. And even though it’s been full of more beautiful adventures, I wish there was a way I could slow things down. Do you guys ever feel like this? That life is just speeding by faster and faster with every year? Anyway, it’s another grey sky in Toronto today so I’m sharing some sunny tropical vibes from the Philippines. If you’re looking for a perfect tropical escape, this is the place. ☀️ 🏝

#ad One of my first orders of business back in Canada - getting the flu shot! Did you know the flu is still one of the top 10 leading causes of death in Canada every year? 😮 it causes an average of 12,220 hospitalizations 3,500 deaths each year! By getting the flu shot you are not only protecting yourself, but helping protect babies, seniors, pregnant women, and people with chronic medical conditions from being hospitalized, or worse. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent the flu! Visit @shoppersdrugmartofficial on 465 Young to get your flu shot and badge designed by Canadian artist @uber5000 😁 #shoppersdrugmart #gotmyshot #peerflushot

Ever heard of bogshoeing? Me neither, until I went to Latvia! This unique activity took us outdoors into the beautiful Kemeri National Park. This area is made up of natural bogs which you otherwise couldn’t explore without the risk of sinking in, but these shoes allow you to walk around. Although it’s still a good idea to go with a guide, as parts of the bog can be dangerous! @purvubrideji runs tours from Riga. Considering I’m from a part of Canada with so much bog I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this before. May have to make bogshoeing part of my regular activities 😂 . . . . . #travelinspo #globetrotting #solotravels #passionfortravel #backpackerstory #womenwhotravel #damestravel #travelbloggerlife #passportlife #seetheworldwithme #traveltoexplore #girlsmeetglobe #girlsjustwannatravel #prettylittletrips #backpackwithme #enjoylatvia #thisislatvia #visitlatvia #latvianature #bogshoeing #bogs

Hard to believe it was 5 months ago I bought my ticket for the #wits2019 and how fast this week came and went in Latvia. It was a great experience to connect with such inspiring and like-minded women within the travel community. I’m already craving my next conference - anyone have a recommendation? How cute are the streets of Riga?! Every time I’m in Europe I fall more and more for the quaint cobblestone stone streets and romantic ambiance that fills the air. Latvia was amazing to see and there’s so much more still to explore. Big thanks to @enjoylatvia for being such wonderful hosts the last week! 📸: @ochristine
