Whale watching anyone? Swipe to see the show offs!

Whale watching anyone? Swipe to see the show offs!

One of my favourite parts about Newfoundland in the summer - these magical creatures fill our oceans! Had a blast exploring the waters with @harebayadventures @adventurecentralnewfoundland Didn’t know where to look there were so many whales!

For more inspiration on outdoor adventures in Newfoundland this summer, check out my latest blog post! 🐳 🐋

Oh hiii! I haven’t introduced myself in a while

Oh hiii! I haven’t introduced myself in a while so I thought I’d share some info about me for anyone that may be new around here!

🌎 I’m obsessed with this beautiful world and have made it my life quest to visit every country. I’m not in a rush to do it because I’d rather get to know a place well, and I try to travel overland as much as possible. I’m at 55!

🧍‍♀️After getting fed up with people not committing to plans, I moved to Ireland by myself at 19 and have been hooked on solo travel since. I travel by myself the majority of the time, and truly believe it is the better way (you will meet so many amazing people).

🐧 I love nature and wildlife. Another one of my goals is to see all 17 species of penguins in the wild! I’m also obsessed with dogs and although I can’t have one because I travel too much, I get lots of dog love through housesitting, fostering when I’m home, and making friends with every dog I meet abroad.

🧜‍♀️ I love pushing my boundaries through adventure travel. I used to be scared of just about everything (and still have many fears) but through travel I have overcome many of them. Diving is one of the biggest!

👩‍💻 I have a degree in international business and worked a 9-5 for years. I had a stable government job (you know the one everyone says is the dream) but it didn’t align with my soul so I quit last year to pursue my travel goals and blogging!

🧳I highly value experiences over belongings. I got rid of almost everything I own that wouldn’t fit in my backpack and a few boxes and gave up my house in December to be a full-time digital nomad (lol bad year for that). Despite this huge set back I’m still set on my dreams, and have been using this time to explore my other passion which is outdoor adventure. Luckily I live in one of the best countries in the world for that. 🇨🇦 .

Okay that’s lots about me! Tell me something about yourself ☺️

What little things make you happy? One of mine is

What little things make you happy?

One of mine is walking along a beach and picking up treasures along the way! I was so excited to find the beach full of glass while traveling with @adventurecentralnewfoundland (It’s in Springdale, you can find it on Google Maps. It’s just a very short walk from the road and the sign for the trail is well marked). Of course, you should always leave what you find so that it’s there for everyone to enjoy in the future ☺️ .

In such a chaotic world, it’s so important to take the time to please our inner child with simple acts of joy. Have a wonderful rest of your week! ❤️

Big smiles on top of the Alexander Murray Hiking Trail in King’s Point, Newfoundland. Just an hour and a half hike to the top for these stunning views! 😍 .

Spending the last week with @adventurecentralnewfoundland has completely change my perception of Central Newfoundland! I feel silly now for all the times I’ve driven across the province thinking there wasn’t much to see there, when there are actually so many amazing places if you just get off the highway!

This is one of my favorite parts about road trips. The flexibility to turn down random roads and discover hidden gems. Have you been road tripping this summer? 🚘

One of the best parts about Newfoundland in the summer - incredible fresh seafood!

Even though we are home to some of Canada’s top restaurants, having a boil up on the beach with @experiencetwillingate was one of my fave meals this summer. Just look at these perfect scallops! Plus, you can’t beat this dinner view 😍 .

I’ve heard so many great things about Twillingate and it definitely lived up the hype - can’t believe it took me so long to get here!Discovering so many amazing places with @adventurecentralnewfoundland #sponsored

Are you a seafood fan?

So excited to be spending the week with @adventure

Just living our best cottage lives.

After several adoptions falling through and a random series of events in my own life, I’m happy to say Layla has made it to her forever home two provinces away in New Brunswick.

These past few months haven’t been an easy time for me but getting the chance to foster Layla was one of the biggest silver linings for me.

We’ve hiked hundreds of kilometres, we’ve camped under the stars, we’ve kayaked, and we finished with a big road trip across the maritimes.

This has been one of the loneliest times of my life and she really has become my best friend. I can’t imagine having gone through it without her.

It was incredibly difficult to say goodbye to her but I know she’s going to an amazing home that couldn’t be a better fit for her. My ambitions to see every country in the world don’t exactly go well with owning a dog permanently, as adventurous as she is.
And with travel slowly resuming and plans underway, it was the right time to part ways. But oh man, do I miss her sweet hugs.

She’s not so confident in my kayaking skills 😂 #adventuredogs

Can’t believe I was the only person on this trai

Can’t believe I was the only person on this trail - I feel spoiled to have so much stunning wilderness to myself, but that’s just part of the magic of hiking in Newfoundland.

Visiting the Berry Head Sea Arch has been on my list for some time now but I was avoiding the hike because it’s 20km one-way. However I found out that you can hike in-and-out to the arch from the Port Kirwan trailhead (8 km one-way) which is much more doable as a solo hiker! It’s very impressive and definitely one of my east coast trail highlights. Just a few paths left to go!

There’s nothing like a beautiful summer day in Newfoundland 🐶 ☀️ .

The weather here can be... unpredictable. But it makes you appreciate those warm sunny days so much more. What’s it like where you are?
