I think one of my favourite parts of travel is the I think one of my favourite parts of travel is the feeling of being so small in such a big, big world.
It's too easy to get caught up in the day to day of 'normal' life. Too easy to forget how huge and wonderful and foreign the rest of the world actually is.
Travelling puts that into perspective in a way that being stationary never will.
And this giant tree on the Hall of Mosses Trail in Olympic National Park is just a small reminder

Ohhhh Portland. Such a bittersweet city for me. We Ohhhh Portland. Such a bittersweet city for me. We had such a great time exploring the city and the area around it. But this was also the last stop on our 'failed' US Circumference roadtrip.

It was in this city that we decided to stop fighting the path of the forest fires and head back to Alberta to recoup. This would also signal the end of nearly 5 years of fulltime travel.

This trip up the tram was our last full day in the city, and we definitely made the most of it! Seth had a good laugh at my fear of heights and my reaction to any kind of swaying. But what a view!! Oh the things I'll do for a great photo!

Feeling nostalgic about our years of travel and ma Feeling nostalgic about our years of travel and many amazing experiences.... But also entirely comfortable with where I'm currently at.
Snapped this one as we were racing down completely empty side roads in Washington state. We were trying to get to the Hall of Mosses hike in the Olympic National Forest before the sun set and we couldn't do it anymore.
This was towards the end of our last roadtrip, about 2 weeks before California wildfires rudely changed our course. 
I'll forever be a roadtripper!

In 5 years of travel I think this view of the Seat In 5 years of travel I think this view of the Seattle skyline is one of my favourite photos. It was such a drizzly, dreary fall day (as per usual, we found) as we drove up the coast to eat lunch at Marination Ma Kai, a Hawaiian-Korean fusion place I'd read about.
After parking at the restaurant we took a few minutes to walk up the dock and check out if the fisherman had caught anything, before heading in to order. Right as we stepped off the dock I turned around and quickly snapped this, not realizing until later how much I loved it.

'Travel' has taken on a bit of a different meaning 'Travel' has taken on a bit of a different meaning this year. After a cross country journey from Alberta to Ontario in search of a place to settle down after 5 years on the road, we're now just happy to get out of lockdown and enjoy a drink on the beaches of Lake Huron. 
Travel will resume at some point but for now, I'm happy right where I'm at!

I was lucky enough to visit Southern Montana 3 tim I was lucky enough to visit Southern Montana 3 times in 2019, and I fell in love. . ((Wellll....one of those times wasn't luck. I shut the garage door on my new car and smashed the back window out and had to go to Montana to replace it...buuut that's a story for another day)) . 
I couldn't resist stopping at this farmers field on the way to Yellowstone to capture how brightly coloured it was.

I miss being on the open road, stopping randomly to capture a memory!

Soon, my friends, soon.

I made that crown! Before our luau (at Waimea Vall I made that crown!
Before our luau (at Waimea Valley, highly recommend!), the dancers taught us how to do some Hawaiian crafts, cooking and activities, and making these crowns was one of them.
Fun way to kick off a great evening!

Working 50+ hours a week to buy a car and set ourselves up for the next road trip is TOUGH! I'm tired of work, tired of smiling all day, tired of the service industry.

Only a few more weeks now!
