Once travel bans are lifted I believe that 2021 will be the year of local travel. And O 🇨🇦, aren’t you filled with a million miracle destinations to explore! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take Morant’s Curve, a world renowned location mad famous by CPR photographer Nicholas Morant. This beautiful location is perfect to photograph mountains, trains or both. Surprisingly close in proximity to Lake Louise is a “must see” for visitors in the region. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If it was safe to travel tomorrow and you could go anywhere in Canada, where would you go and why? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Travel is a privilege. And with that, comes responsibility. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm honoured to introduce you to the concept of "Transformational Travel." But before I share my story, let's pause and acknowledge what it is: "Transformational Travel is intentionally traveling to stretch and grow into new ways of being and engaging with the world" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that the impacts of traveling in this world need to be evaluated, and new ways of engaging with the world need to surface. As yourself these questions: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🗺 How do you honour the cost of travel? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This includes the environmental impacts, cultural and societal impacts, the financial cost, and your investment in time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏞 How can you travel with intention? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Evaluate all aspects of your trip, where you go, how you get there, what you do, whom you interact with, and how you treat the environment. All of your actions have consequences, make them good ones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏕 How can your family embrace transformational travel right here at home? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For now, stay local. Recognize that our responsibility is to stay within our local regions and support local tourism first. Our tourism industries are struggling and we are their first line of support. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💚 How can you teach your children to be transformational travelers? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When adventure calls, recognize the opportunity that exists for you to step outside your normal life and grow, learn, connect, and be a force for good. I’ll be sharing ways to involve your children in this process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I’ll say it again… Travel is a privilege. And with that, comes responsibility. I’m so passionate about bringing awareness to travel that I have completed by “Transformational Travel Designer Program” My “job” is to teach you about transformational travel and how to have the most impactful travel experiences. #LeadByAdventure

What do you see in this picture? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I see a girl who’s life is about to be flipped upside down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This picture was taken 2 weeks before what we will forever call “2020” happened. As I see myself sitting there, serendipitous to life in that moment, I wish I could whisper in my ear a few warnings for what was about to come. I’d say:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- A worldwide pandemic is around the corner, treasure every second of this last trip. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Schools will shut down. Your business will change over night. You will struggle to manage it all. Be patient through the process. You will survive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Don’t eat the salad. It’ll give you food poisoning, in a tent, with the kids, in the middle of nowhere. Your amazing husband will drive 6 hours to rescue you and it’ll take you three days to traverse home. You will survive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Turn left. Because when you turn right you’ll be blindsided and tboned at an intersection leaving you injured and off work for six months. You’ll embrace recovery. You will survive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- You’ll learn a lot about yourself, go into those deep uncomfortable conversations about who you are and who you want to be. Difficult decisions will be made. You will survive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- You will be deflated by those who you think will be there for you. You’ll learn that they won’t be. Those will be some of the hardest lessons to process throughout the year. But you’ll survive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So why am I sharing this now? 2020 was rough and while I wanted to share, I didn’t want to contribute to anymore negativity on social, none of us needed an ounce more than the world was shovelling out on us. I am hyper sensitive to bringing only the best energy and while 2020 was about survival, 2021 is about thriving. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay tuned for more about thriving in 2021 and how we can all learn from the lessons that 2020 taught us to help build a brighter future. ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Are you wishing you could travel but feeling sad

Are you wishing you could travel but feeling sad with the current restrictions?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well planning your next trip is the next best thing! Combine planning with staying as local as possible (as in your own health region) and you should be able to take that mini vacation you’ve been waiting for! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Manning Park is one of those great little destinations that is close to home and yet so far away. With everything from snowshoeing to skiing and snowboarding, to skating and cross country skiing, and even sledding at night, there’s something for the whole family, and lots of space for everyone to stay safely distanced. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tips for planning your next adventure:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Find a place that allows you to have a “Home Away from home” where you can confidently social distance at all times.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Choose outdoor adventures with big spaces and less faces. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Review the cancellation policy incase you’re not able to travel and need to cancel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Enjoy the planning process while we all work together to flatten the curve. Then when we’re ready, get out and explore your region! #ExploreBC #LoveWhereYouLive

“I never would have been me, if you hadn't have been you.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With a smile that can light up a room (or the whole sky when ziplining), I have to say that I love having a built-in adventure buddy for life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This picture was taken in 2016 and since then we've been to Costa Rica, England, Wales, and done too many adventures to list!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Birthday Mom 🎂

For all of us right now it feels like Adventure Awaits...

But as we look into 2021, and the hard lessons we learned in 2020 I can't help but think the future is bright. #StayTuned #LeadByAdventure #imback
