I have always loved to write. As a kid, nothing would make me happier than to go down to the local card store on a beautiful summer day, and pick out a box of pretty writing paper. I would sit on our porch, basking in the sunshine, writing letter after letter to friends away on […]
Wadi Rum Magic I had the great luck of going to Jordan about two weeks before the pandemic shut the world down in 2020. Although we are living with relative normalcy again, whenever I think about this trip over the last two years, it feels very odd to think about how freely we were moving […]
Discovering Soul Mates – Travel’s Biggest Gift When I was in grade 11, I went on exchange to Namur, Belgium for a few months. Namur is a French speaking city of approximately 110,00 and is the capital of Belgium’s Wallonia region. This didn’t mean a lot to me when I was in grade 11, but […]

Almost Somewhere: Twenty-Eight Days on the John Muir Trail, by Suzanne Roberts Day one and hiker Suzanne Roberts was already lying in her journal. Sign me up. I am very drawn to true stories about women who take on multi-day through-hikes, be it as a solo adventure or with other females in tow. Perhaps this […]
The True A-Hole of Canada When I was 18, I lived in Jasper, Alberta. It was very easy to be intoxicated by the mountains – they had such an obvious beauty and presence that was beyond what I had experienced growing up in Ontario. As things go at that age, I had an on-again off-again, […]
Cycling the Horsey Hundred, in Georgetown, Kentucky! I am the type of person who feels pulled to the next adventure purely by instinct. Not a lot of thought goes into it, and on more than one occasion, I have known very little about the place I was going next. I just knew I was supposed […]
As summer is officially here, it is time to get outside. If you have itchy feet, a future trip with Great Canadian Trails is something to look forward to. Nathalie Gauthier, General Manager of GCT, joined me on FLY last week to discuss the infinite options that they offer for self-guided & small group guided […]
