Gazing at the expanse of a blue sky and undulating clouds, I started to feel relaxed and excited at the same time. After a quick debate and reshape of our road trip (when we had to completely change our original plans to go to the Adirondacks due to some unforeseeable rain), we were on the road in the opposite direction, with a trip around Georgian Bay in mind.

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, with their mesmerizing appearance have always been a source of wonder and curiosity in the night sky. These shimmering lights have deep roots and a wide range of myths and legends across various cultures of the Northern Hemisphere.
If you’re looking for things to see or do on your ‘staycation’, here are some things that won’t break your bank. In fact, they will not cost you anything!
Known as the gateway to the Kawarthas, the Ontarians’ cottage country, Peterborough if often overlooked as a vacation destination. Located in Central Ontario, between Toronto and Ottawa, the city and the county of the same name have quite few things to offer to their visitors.
Nicknamed the “Dragon’s Tail”, the easternmost tip of Madeira is one of the most curious and unique parts of the island.
After hiking the highest peaks of the island, and one of the greenest paths in the middle of laurissilva forest, Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço just seemed to us out of this world. Famous for its rugged coastlines and geological features, this peninsula was bound to impress us right from the start.
That time of the year has come again, when the migratory birds return to their old nesting grounds. New and old birds come by, and some of them decide to stay longer. We’ve had company this past month, much to our delight, as the little house wrens treated us once again with their playful mood and cheerful songs.
Wings to the sky, dreams
of a new world emerging.
The time has arrived🌞
Memories of the wonderful time we had on our trip to Madeira keep coming. We hiked and walked around this small island, we explored the Laurissilva forest, and Funchal, the capital of the island; we enjoyed the food, the Madeiran cuisine, and learned a bit of its culture. We found a real foodie scene on the island, with a lot of traditional dishes.

As we leave the winter behind, and the migratory birds begin to show up, we are getting ready to welcome them back.
