“if living well really is the best revenge, then

“if living well really is the best revenge, then that might be reason enough for some people to pack up and hit the road, with a vengeance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"'Revenge travel' is the idea that, after a year of being at home, people are gonna get back at the pandemic, and actually get out there and live their best lives while traveling," she said.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"So, it's kind of like, take that, pandemic, I'm gettin' out?" asked Smith⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Exactly right! So, they're going as far away as they can. They're doing the things they've always dreamed of. And the idea is we are going to live our best lives. We've seen how close we came to losing the opportunity to get out there. And so, we're not gonna let it pass us by again."

Have you heard of the concept of "revenge travel?" If you had $10K and 2 weeks off, where your revenge trip be to? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our goal at Adventure Awaits is to transition back to travel mindfully, understanding the positive (and negative) impacts travel has, and doing our best to manage and respond to those challenges. Stay tuned while we help guide you on industry best practices and ways we can all use travel as a catalyst for positive change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you ever visited Banff in the summer? ⠀⠀

Have you ever visited Banff in the summer?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I haven't! (I'm shocked too).

Other than driving through to see my family in Alberta, Banff has been a "no go" during the busy season, in order to reduce overtourism during peak seasons.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But NOT THIS YEAR! With fewer international visitors this year, Banff and other similar destinations are encouraging Canadians to soak up all the wonder that exists in our own backyard. So one of my first stops after the July 1 restrictions are lifted? You got it #BANFF #LakeLouise #FairmontCLL #StartTheCar
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To inspire your wanderlust and help us all get excited as we return to our #NewNorm, here's a few photos from my friends at @banff_LakeLouise

Yesterday I introduced the topic about the "Cost"

Yesterday I introduced the topic about the "Cost" of travel and challenged you to think differently about how you explore new areas.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are 8 different ways you can explore an area while leaving little or no environmental impact, all while supporting the local economy via visiting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚵‍♀️ Bike! Where exercise meets transportation.
🥾 Hike! Explore your region by foot.
🚣‍♀️ Paddle! See your destination from a new perspective.
🛶 Canoe! Kid-friendly adventures as well.
🏄‍♀️ Surf! A unique encounter with ocean ecology
🏕 Tent! Immerse yourself right in the middle of it.
🌲 Hug a Tree! Hug lots. Protect them. Forever. Period.
🔌 Unplug! Find ways to spend more time immersed in the destination you're visiting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out the look on my son's face after we crashed through a wave in Banff... I have this framed in my bedroom! @jasperrafting

Before we all start packing our bags, I challenge

Before we all start packing our bags, I challenge you to think about the impact you'd like to make with your upcoming adventures. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❔ What can I invest in travel? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❔ How can I make a positive impact on the region I am traveling to? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❔ Can I take eco-friendly alternatives to lower or eliminate my impact on the environment? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❔ Can I take part in no impact, educational eco-tours? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❔ Are there any cultural experiences that can connect me to the history and the people of the region I am visiting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We know travel has a phenomenal impact on our lives, and it is our responsibility to measure the impact we have on the places we visit, and teach our children how to travel with intention. #TransformationalTravel ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In celebration of the travel restrictions that will be lifted soon, and #NationalTourismWeek every day this week I'm going to showcase some of my favorite Canadian destinations that we can start planning trips to soon!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First stop... #Tofino! If Tofino were a restaurant it would be a 5-star dining experience with more good foods to enjoy than time allows.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ Hiking
✔️ Beaches for miles
✔️ Biking
✔️ Surfing
✔️ Amazing Dining Experiences
✔️ Picture Perfect Sunsets
