A guardian lion in Beijing... moving to the capital of China was one of my travel highlights of the past decade. What were some of yours? Read the rest of mine in my latest blog post... click on link in bio. . #travelwriter #newblogpost #travelblogger #travelhighlights #connoisseuroflife

View of Mt Everest. We hiked up 5550 meters to Kala Patthar in September 2005. It means black rock and is renowned for having the most beautiful views. I was so proud of the boys when we made it to the top. They were 7 & 9 at the time. A travel highlight!! #gosomewherenew #getoutofyourcomfortzone #neverstoptravelling🌎 #whatanadventure #familytravels

New year, new headshot, old white shirt.

As I figure out where to go in 2020 I find myself reflecting on the wonderful places I’ve been in the past 20 years. In 2005 we left London to travel for 18 months. We visited Inle Lake in Myanmar that November . Fishermen stand on the stern of their boats and paddle by wrapping one leg around an oar. They can’t see through all the reeds in the water if they are seated. . . #somanyplacestogo #travelinspiration #traveltheworld #lifesanadventure

What an adventurous decade it has been!! Celebrated the Olympics in Vancouver, moved to Beijing, drank out of the Stanley Cup (twice), visited 40 + countries, started blogging and became a travel advisor! Can’t wait to see what the next 10 years have in store! #lifesanadventure #neverstoptravelling #whatawonderfulworld #luckyandgrateful

Christmas is over but my amaryllis live on! I’m going to save the bulbs for next and try to get them to bloom again. Have you ever done this? .. . #iloveflowers #christmasblooms #amaryllis #nofilterneededhere

15 acres of trails, millions of light and quite a few fellow tourists @vandusengarden #festivaloflights the gardens were opened in 1975 on land that had once been a golf course, philanthropist & lumberman Whitford Julian VanDusen bought the 55 acres of land for $1 million to save it from development then donated it to the city. It is wonderful all year round but this show and when the rhododendrons bloom are particularly special times to visit. . #visitvancouver #canada🇨🇦 #beautifulbc🍁 #homefortheholidays

Vancouver has phenomenal places to go to for sushi and Japanese food in all price ranges. @temaki_vancouver is one of my favorites... I never order off the menu, just ask chef @sushi_hil to feed me what he fancies. . . #perfectmeal #vancouversushi #familydinnerdate #visitvancouver
