For the stories that take you on adventures, and the adventures that turn into stories.
About two weeks ago, just when I was finally going to sit down and start cancelling things for our trip to Newfoundland, I got a call from the hostel we had booked for St. John’s. The caller asked if we were still planning on our trip, and he informed me there was a chance we… Continue reading Planning for Socially Distanced Travel?
I might not be able to travel right now, but that won’t stop me from dreaming about the trips I want to take! These are 10 trips that I am dreaming of and planning right now.
Since I won’t be travelling to Newfoundland this summer, I figured that the next best thing might be to travel through reading! So I have scoured the internets and compiled a list of 15 books set in Newfoundland across a variety of Genres. There are many I have added to my reading list, and I hope you will find some that you want to add to your lists!
In my experience, there are 5 Stages to the trip planning process. Some trips require us to spend more time in some of these stages than others. In this post I explore the 5 stages and use my recent planning for a now postponed trip to Newfoundland as an example.

If you missed that post, I would recommend checking it… Continue reading Planning to Travel Pt 2 – Being Intentional About Saving
There are so many reasons we can find for not travelling - I think highest on the list are often time and money. Sometimes it takes more than just wishing we had more money or infinite time.

In this, part one of a two part series, I take a look at how I learned to be intentional about planning to travel.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about starting a travel blog in the time of a Pandemic. In that post, I talked a bit about why I wanted to start a travel blog, but didn’t really talk about how I discovered my love for travel. In my post about the connection between books and travel,… Continue reading Catching the Travel Bug: My Travel Story
Fear. We are faced with many fears throughout our lives. Do we let them stop us from trying new things and pursuing our dreams? How do we overcome our fears in order to move forward?
When trying to decide on a blogging topic, I kept coming back to the idea that travel and reading might actually work as partner topics. The more I thought about it, the more I started thinking that, if travel and reading were connected for me, they might be connected for others too.
As those who know me may be aware, I am almost notorious for starting writing projects and then not carrying through with them. I have wanted to keep a blog for years, but have not yet managed to keep one running consistently for any length of time. I just haven’t managed to find the right… Continue reading Starting a Travel Blog during a Pandemic?
