This time last year, I was cruising the Caribbean

This time last year, I was cruising the Caribbean with my cub (yep, that’s him), followed up by a four day stay at the Hard Rock Orlando to check out Harry Potter World. Not exactly my travel style, but honestly, it ended up being one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. Seeing the world through his 15 month old eyes was epic. He flirted with the cruise staff, charmed every grandparent on our ship (thank you @halcruises ) had nothing but big smiles and giggles for all of the locals on the islands we visited, and thought the fire-breathing dragon in Daigon Alley was kind of scary, but loved all the young (and young at heart) wizards flitting about. Kids can be hardwired for adventure, it just takes patience, an open mind, and lot’s of deep breaths. It’s so worth creating those memories with them❤️

With 2019 drawing to a fast close, it’s time to

With 2019 drawing to a fast close, it’s time to start gathering inspiration for next year’s journeys. Be it blogs, guide books, journals, to movies, magazines, social media, or jovial storytelling around the dinner table, we glean our travel inspiration from anywhere and everywhere. For me, I love staring up at my wall of Nat Geo’s and taking a trip in my mind to any cover catches my eye in that moment. Sweden, Denmark, Norway and possibly Sri Lanka are a few of the destinations on my horizon for 2020...what are you dreaming up for the new year? .

Nestled high above the historic Sri Lankan city of Kandy, the coffee Bungalow (@coffeebungalowkandy )was one of my favourite stops on my fam trip this past September with @Artravele. This beautiful 1860 converted manor house provides uninterrupted views of the Lake below, timeless elegance and unparalleled service and hospitality. Watch out for my review on #TripAdvisor ~ No matter what stage you’re at in the planning of your trip to Sri Lanka, I would be delighted to work with you😃

Traveling with babies. Yay or nay? This is a snaps

Traveling with babies. Yay or nay? This is a snapshot from a trip to Sweden last summer with my little guy. He was barely a year old and we covered 3 countries in 2.5 weeks (Sweden, Denmark & Germany). It was one of the most challenging trips I had ever taken, but also the most rewarding. Not to mention I learned a TON from the planning process. Logistics, accommodation considerations, flight routings, equipment, tackling mobility, accessibility challenges, the list goes on. I run into a lot of clients who are afraid to travel with their infants and toddlers, and I get it, it’s challenging. So I’m making one of my 2020 #businessgoals to get more families with babies under 2 (and bigger kids before you lose them to adulthood forever) on the road because I truly believe seeing the world together, creating memories, is the greatest legacy you can leave❤️ .

Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the honour and

Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the honour and pleasure of working with a number of families to make their travel dreams a reality, especially in my home community of #Squamish but also up and down the Sea-to-Sky corridor, across the Lower Mainland and even across Canada. To say that I am passionate about travel is an understatement. But what I love even more, is hearing all of the amazing stories from my clients when they return home. It’s such an honour to be a small part of those moments in their life. In 2020 I will be ramping up, offering more family-friendly trip ideas, tours and packages, and would love to work with you and your family.

Can we just talk about Sri Lanka for a minute? This incredible cookbook was gifted to me by the incomparable team at @artravele and @walkerstours - They were gracious enough to host me on an incredible journey through Sri Lanka in September. And it’s no surprise that they’ve been my preferred and most trusted provider for all of my customized Sri Lankan itineraries. So why am I so in love with this place?

1) It’s one of the most beautiful places I have ever been

2) It’s one of the safest places I’ve ever traveled as a solo female

3) The national parks, archaeological sites, temples and cultural sites are astounding
4) The WILDLIFE viewing is among the best in the world

5) The FOOD! The FOOD! In two weeks I didn’t have a single bad meal...in fact..it took me over a month to work off the extra 10lbs I gained😳

6) The warmth and hospitality of the Sri Lankan people stays with me to this day.

7) The luxury options are unparalleled - From safari tents to private villas, to exclusive wellness resorts and World Unesco Heritage hotels.

And literally a 100 more reasons I am currently putting into a blog post because my goal for 2020 is to book as many clients as I can to the pearl of the Indian Ocean👍🏽 Is Sri Lanka on your list for 2020?

Not everyone is looking for an epic adventure. Half of my clients are adventure-seeking culture aficionados and the other half are hardworking families looking to gather up their little ones for some once a year fun-in-the-sun. They want 1) Good food. 2) Great Beach 3) Excellent Service 4) Plenty of activities for the entire family to enjoy. @pjresortscancun is one of my go-to's resort options for this sort of family holiday. .

Polonnaruwa was once a thriving commercial and religious centre in Sri Lanka some 800 years ago. Comprised of several temple complexes, for three hundred years, this royal city was once the capital of both the Chola and Sinhalese kingdoms. .

As an anthropologist, I have a natural fascination

As an anthropologist, I have a natural fascination with cultures be it modern, ancient and all those in between. Sri Lanka's Polonnaruwa was one of my favourite stops during my trip. This 10th century World UNESCO Heritage Site and the surrounding city was completely self sufficient, and exemplifies the King's desire to use every drop of rain to cultivate nearby rice paddies, and promote development. And like most ancient cities around the country, Polonnaruawa's meticulous plans have stood the test of time, and to this day, its original irrigation systems still nourish nearby paddy fields. Like most archaeological sites, it's recommended to hire a local guide to interpret the the sites significance. .

Staying in a quiet hotel or villa but want to experience a party atmosphere for the day? I love this concept at Angel Beach in beautiful Unawatuna. Grab your friends and book yourself a plush daybed at this exclusive beach club on it's own stretch of private beach. With rotating DJ's pumping the hottest hits, premium cocktails flowing, a beautiful rooftop bar and lounge and access to private parties, I had so much fun touring this property. This unique venue is also available to be rented out for your exclusive DJ event (rates are unbelievably reasonable - DM me for details!)

The A26 road connects Kandy with Padiyathalawa in

The A26 road connects Kandy with Padiyathalawa in the Ampara District of Sri Lanka. This highway is not for those with a faint stomach - With 18 consecutive hairpin turns, it is often a dizzying ballet of sputtering tuk-tuk, motorcyclists, colourful Leyland buses, pick-up trucks, tea-harvesters, and the odd farm animal, you might find yourself stopping at one of these lookout points to give yourself a moment, and to admire lush tea plantations above and rolling mountains below. Even this tuk-tuk driver stopped to take in the views❤❤❤

Dinner for one😊
After nearly 24 hours of travel, this was me, jetlagged but eagerly awaiting my first official Sri Lankan meal at @thenotaryshouse - It was a 7 dish parade of curries, sambals, exotic salads, and Sri Lankan delicacies. I sipped my spiced Ceylon tea, and gorged, wide-eyed and content. I haven't talked much about the food in Sri Lanka, and probably because I was so overwhelmed with the diversity, the aromatics, the arsenal of spices, and the sheer abundance felt at every meal. It's hard to know where to start, but I do promise to dedicate a number of posts my new favourite cuisine.

Many thanks again to @ArTravele for this epic fam trip❤ .

You've probably seen these dreamy views from this

You've probably seen these dreamy views from this boutique resort splashed across the Insta pages of all of the top "influencers", and I assure you, it's as spectacular as it looks. But more importantly, this serene place, the Santani Wellness Centre, is a dedicated space for healing, meditation, recovery of all varieties and a place to nourish the body with a balanced menu. The rooms are beautiful, but are designed in a minimalist somewhat, industrialist aesthetic, so not a lot of fuss. The use of digital devices is discouraged, and instead, guests are encouraged to get serious about wellness. Guests explore their concerns with onsite Ayurvedic doctors who then carefully craft health programs, tailored to each guest's wellness needs and incorporate a variety of elements including massage, yoga and meditation, all to be experienced will at the resort. .

Spread out over 58 pristine acres of rice paddies, vegetable and herb gardens and a lake, Ulagalla's private chalets was home when I was touring Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle. With over 800 sq feet of contemporary and classic Sri Lankan interior design, and my very own private pool, I definitely felt spoiled😊

Fun and interesting fact about the premises of the

Fun and interesting fact about the premises of the Temple of Tooth Relic in Sri Lanka's last Kingdom, Kandy: This site has been declared as the ‘World’s first-ever Eco Religious Site'. Not only is this Sri Lanka's most important and beloved Buddhist temple, but is said to be plastic and polyurethane free. The temple sustained damage from terrorist bombings in 1989 and 1998, but each time, was restored. .

Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa truly is the epitome of exclusivity. These beachfront villas are modern, chic, and perfect for small groups. Rent a few rooms, or buy out the villa (for a verrrry reasonable rate) and enjoy butler service, a convenient location in the heart of Mirissa and daily dips in Sri Lanka's longest salt water pool, as well as access to one of the most beautiful stretches of beach
