A late fall Friday afternoon was the perfect opportunity to visit Scenic Caves for the Eco Adventure tour, we also decided to try the ‘Thunderbird Twin Zip Line.’ The Eco Adventure Tour is a fun mix of hiking, tree top trekking, a few zip lines and a short tour of the caves. Personally I…

Algonquin in Three Days: Rock Lake, Penn Lake, Clydegale Lake, Madawaska River
I thought a backcountry Algonquin Trip was not in the cards this year, but guess what? I managed to squeeze one in. If you would like to read some of my musings about Algonquin and the trip check out my guest post on the Algonquin Outfitters blog. Read on for a trip log of our three day…

Rattlesnake Point for an afternoon hike.
Quiet holiday Mondays have a way of helping to discover hidden treasures. One of those treasures is Rattlesnake Point. The sky was crystal clear and for May it was a beautiful hot morning. It was not a day to stay inside. But what could we do? Luckily I live a short drive from Rattlesnake point…
A foray into snowboarding from the casual skiers perspective.
I am reasonably good at skiing. Once a year I decide skiing might be fun. I can navigate down a hill without gravely injuring myself. I still fall. I actually have some rather spectacular falls. Really. But I manage to not look completely confused and out of place. When my friend asked me to go…

Algonquin in Three Days: Cache, Madawaska, Head Creek, Head Lake
In July 2013, I decided on a birthday canoe trip. It was a short trip for my first time planning EVERYTHING on my own (our second trip in 6 days can be read about here). I was hoping to find an “interesting” campsite, which lead us to the waterfall campsite on Head Lake. DAY ONE…

Share Your World: 2014 Week 47
This is in response to Cee's Weekly Challenge. This week, in light of American Thanksgiving, we are asked to think of 50 things we enjoy. Canadian Thanksgiving may have been several weeks ago, but this is a super way to reflect on what I have and am grateful for. Perfect at any time of year!…
The Royal Fair and being a Media Intern!
Anyone in Ontario has probably heard the radio ads for the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair coming to Toronto. It is only 8 days away and I am excited to share that I will be taking a break from my desk job and working as a Media Intern! I am so thankful for this opportunity and…
Accepted!!
It’s official! I will be attending Humber in January to obtain a Post-Graduate Certificate in Public Relations! I received great feedback during my interview, but it was a carefully guarded secret between my family and close friends, until I knew for sure. The preparation was stressful! I took advantage of Guelph’s super program for alumni…
Skydiving: starting to learn something
The look as I tell people I went skydiving again is something to behold. But why? Didn’t you just go? Why would you want to do that again? Most people can understand one jump, in a cross-it-off-your-bucket-list way, but doing it again seriously baffles people. I think, although more extreme, it really is no different…
GoPro and cross country from horseback.
I have been looking for different ways to use my GoPro. The farm I board at has lots of little cross country jumps scattered around the property, so thought it would be fun to try a GoPro video riding outside. An added bonus is that riding on grass is good practise for a Hunter Derby…
