Vancouver Island View

Bringing you ideas about the best ways to explore.

I was away for 10 days touring the UK with my Mom. We saw so many amazing sights, and there are several places that I would love to return to again (a piece of my heart was left in Ireland). It was an incredible experience.

But you know, when you get to live in a place like Vancouver Island, it's so easy to come home, and I welcomed my return.

I was eager to get back to exploring the places around me. And that's exactly what I've been doing.

I'm getting better at sharing each adventure (even those from the UK) on Instagram. Please follow me there for daily updates.

New Post

My hubby and I just celebrated a milestone anniversary, and we decided to explore and stay local. This new post was inspired by our adventures.

iPhone Photography

Who saw the Northern Lights last weekend? It was incredible! And I was giddy to discover that even more colours emerged when I took photos on my phone. (They turned out even better than my regular camera). The iPhone Photography course I'm taking definitely helped with that.

Why not join me?


Wherever you decide to roam, have a great long weekend.
