Fully embracing Canada’s North! I’ve always had this thing against winter and I run away from it every year, rather then embrace what we are blessed with here in Canada. One of my goals for 2020 was to change how I feel about winter. So when my friend asked me if I wanted to housesit for her (another one of my 2020 goals) in Yellowknife, I immediately said yes. And while being in -30 to -40 degree weather may sound horrible, it’s been anything but. You just need to wear the right gear! I think my dislike of winter may have stemmed from years of not properly dressing up for the climate, as simple as that may seem. If you do decide to visit Canada’s great white north, here’s what to wear to stay warm and toasty: - thermal base layers over a shirt (I love merino wool) - fleece sweater - regular pants with snow pants over them - a parka or equivalent snow jacket - wool socks and good waterproof snowshoes - warm gloves, hat, and a scarf (or buff which can cover your face) Of course, I didn’t take all off this to Costa Rica with me before coming here. Thank you @katmreddy for lending me your clothes! If you don’t have this or don’t want to bring it with you, all of the tour companies rent everything you need! Would you visit Canada’s Northern Territories?!

Huge bucket list item checked off! I’ve gone from chasing waterfalls in Costa Rica to chasing the Northern Lights in Canada’s Northwest Territories. The diversity on this planet never ceases to amaze me! 😍 This has definitely been the most dramatic change of temperature I’ve ever experienced! It was -44 outside when we took these photos 😮 ❄️

“The world lies in the hands of those that have the courage to dream and who take the risk of living out their dreams - each according to his or her own talent.” - Paulo Coelho It took me years to build up the courage to chase my dreams, and I still have moments where I feel overwhelmed with self-doubt and negative talk. But those moments are far and few in between the immense joy I feel most days knowing that I’m out conquering my fears and living a life I dreamed of for years. ❤️ 📸 @ioanasbucketlist

The magic of a Costa Rica road trip - you never know what hidden gems you’ll find at the next turn. Renting a car is an amazing way to explore this beautiful country. Shuttles are expensive, and public transportation can be a hassle going long distances. Plus, there’s nothing like the freedom of being able to stop wherever you want when you see something interesting!Just make sure to give yourself lots of time to travel between places, because there are so many magical spots to get out and explore ✨ 📸: @ioanasbucketlist Do you like to road trip while traveling?

One of the coolest parts about traveling through Central America is all of the volcanoes! 🌋 This is Arenal Volcano which looks pretty and dormant here, but actually had a massive explosion in 1968! It was active for decades afterwards and only stopped in 2010. 😮 Is volcano chasing a career?! Cause I’m getting pretty into this. 😁 📸: @ioanasbucketlist

It’s not hard to see why people get stuck in Nosara. It’s the perfect for surf, yoga, and to do absolutely nothing but enjoy these glorious sunsets with a few dogs. What else do you need?

What an amazing time @thebpmfestival in Costa Rica! Music festivals are already one of my favourite things in life, so mixed in with the magic jungle of Costa Rica they are somehow even more magical. It was the first year of BPM in Costa Rica and I think it’s safe to say it was a success! They also have BPM in Tel Aviv and Portugal - so many beautiful locations to check out and dance the night away! Have you ever gone to a music festival while traveling?
