Sisters in Luxurious French Polynesia

The South Pacific cruise of a lifetime! The Paul Gauguin experience was everything I had hoped for and more, from the food and live entertainment to the landscapes and e-bike and off-roading excursions. This trip also showed the amazing Polynesian culture and made it very fun and wonderful to witness. I'm already scheming my return trip!

Mother-Daughter Galapagos Adventure

My mom and I had a Galapagos cruise and land-based adventure! I enjoyed the larger ship more than expected. Such a great destination to kayak, snorkel, experience wildlife up close and personal such as blue-footed boobies, iguanas and giant tortoises. This trip was such an action packed adventure and I am so happy that I had my mom by me.

Wild Greenland and Canada: Earth, Iron, and Ice

I didn't know what I'd be getting into-- just my dad and me, on a ship together with 180 strangers for 15 days. The itinerary looked like a real adventure: hopping on a charter flight from Toronto to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, and from there exploring majestic fjords, glaciers, and tundra along some of the most remote coastlines in the world. When …

Southeast Asia

Four crazy kids, three countries, two weeks...it was my first trip to Asia and I'm hooked. We experienced the authentic facets and features of Southeast Asia: the bustling city life and lights of Hong Kong, the never ending traffic of motor bikes, the serene, peaceful sights of rice fields and cattle of Hanoi, and the steaming curries of Cambodian …

Pat-artica!

Patagonia and Antarctica! They go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly, like Penguins and Ice... like Coke and Fernet? We had an action packed adventure! We hiked to amazing heights and through beautiful scenery and cruised through an unique ecosystem.

An Antarctic Birthday

I spent my birthday sailing to Antarctica! I experienced world records being broken by swimmers, icebergs and glaciers shining in the sunshine and also walked around with many different species of penguins, whales and seals.

In the islands, we swam …

Puerto Vallarta with the Family!

As my kids have gotten older, I'm feeling more confident taking the whole family overseas at one time. This time we opted for a bit more 'traditional' vacation with a relaxing stay in Puerto Vallarta to recharge in the midst of an exhausting winter back home. We made the most of our week with lots of activities- ziplining, whale watching, swimming …

Morocco

Ian and I took our first trip without Daphne. We whisked ourselves away to Morocco for two weeks to explore Marrakesh, Essaouira, the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert.

North Uganda Tour

I travel to North Uganda this time with my family to visit the remote Karamojong tribes in the Northeastern region of the country. This cultural encounter felt like stepping back in time, as interacting with the locals who largely cling to their pastoralist heritage felt like stepping into another world. After a week in this area, we traveled west …

Finally a trip with my husband! We were overwhelmed by turquoise waters and snow-capped mountains, and fly-fished our way into some spectacular trout! We also tried a lot of different foods and had a beautiful lunch in the middle of Torres del Paine National Park. We had fun discovering the beautiful views that Patagonia had to offer.
