What to do in the Waitaki Valley
From unique geological features, braided rivers, lakes and mountains the Waitaki Valley has so much to offer especially for the nature lovers out there! In my opinion the Waitaki Valley is highly underrated. Many people by pass heading inland or just cruise through the valley without taking time to explore it further. I can tell […]
Valley Views Glamping- A night in the Waitaki
As a young girl, I spent a lot of my childhood at the lake with my family. I know the drill of pitching a tent, lighting a fire and getting cosy with the great outdoors. I’ll admit, we didn’t totally rough it. My family slowly upgraded from tents, to pop up trailers to travel trailers […]

Hiking the Bald Hill trail in Manitoba
I finally did it. I hiked in Manitoba and I hiked one of the most popular trails, Bald Hill in Riding Mountain National Park. A dear friend and I have been wanting to do it for a while, so we just picked a day and went! I don’t normally associate Manitoba with hiking. Many don’t. […]

Experiencing Banff and Jasper with Pursuit
The National parks of Banff and Jasper, Canada are two areas on most of all travellers list to visit. I certainly can’t blame them as to why and I am still trying to figure out why it took me so long to explore the area either! Banff and Jasper bring people in from all over […]
