We’re launching into 2022 with a travel reflection on wonder and awe - inspired by our last international adventure before the world pandemic was declared. (Link in bio)

Our urban tour of Rekjavík in winter included a wild immersive ride experience with @flyovericeland that made us feel like a sea bird surfing high above Iceland on a North Atlantic wind.

Cool to discover Montreal-based @momentfactory helped shaped the pre-shows (with locals in the lead) on this experience, and that Dave Mossop from Whistler’s @sherpascinema headed up the visuals.

We couldn’t agree more with Mossop’s impression of the land of fire and ice. “If you ask me,” he tells us, “the whole country is intrinsically marvellous.”

Cheers to @pursuitcollection for hosting us, and to the Icelanders on the ground who made our experience so memorable - Eva from @flyovericeland seen in middle at the top of our photo montage and Marteinn from @citywalkreykjavik

Canadian artist Richard Cole - whose work can be found in Calgary at 🇨🇦 fine art specialist @GibsonFineArt - has been painting trees & forests for 30 years. “This tree is a creation from memory and feeling,” says the artist. “I try to paint the intangible - the light, the way the wind moves through and a sense of scale. My intention here is to represent energy and life and to spark a sense of awe.” #ad #canada #art #tree

A highlight from our summer of 2021? House sitting for a friend on Salt Spring Island. We hiked along the coastline in Ruckle Provincial Park, where we observed an otter family playing and preening in the forest along the shore. We enjoyed a tasty flight of cider in the late afternoon sun at @saltspringwildcider And we dined everywhere from @hastingshouse_ (on their elegant oceanside patio) to live music venue @treehousecafe.ssi (best cheesecake we’ve ever tasted) to @alsfalafel (so good we can’t even tell you!) We also boated out to sea with @saltspringadventureco and watched, from a distance, a mother humpback cruising with her calf through the Georgia Straight. It was spectacular. We can’t wait to visit again. 📷: @graydio1 @southerngulfislands @hellobc @explorecanada #canada #explorecanada #britishcolumbia #explorebc #travel #humpback #gulfislandsbc

In our latest #sponsored post, we celebrate three decades of Calgary’s iconic @rivercafeyyc - a concept that was born when years ago, soon-to-be-proprietor Sal Howell saw an opportunity “in a park on an island, in the middle of a river, in the centre of a city.” (Link in bio) Photo by @theoriginal10cent #canada #travel #calgary #alberta #sustainability #restaurant #canadiana

In our latest post (link in bio), we travel with wellness in mind.

If you ask us, the act of travel - including the planning and the aftermath - contributes to well-being.

Of course, a little castle therapy can go a long way, too.

Cheers to the Fairmont Banff Springs for giving us a chance to do what one worldly friend insists is essential to wellness travel - step away from the day to day and get a little perspective on life.

Last night, under a dark snowy sky, we were thrilled to have a sneak peak of “Nightrise” - an enchanting new multimedia experience (sure to be a hit with people of all ages) now available through March at the top of the @banffgondola

A huge congrats to collaborators @pursuitbanffjasper @momentfactory and the Stoney Nakoda (Bearspaw, Wesley and Chiniki First Nations) for this extraordinary effort.

“Being part of this project is nothing like anything I’ve ever experienced,” says music director Anders Hunter of the Stoney Nakoda, who worked closely with his community on the collaboration.

“Watching it come together? It’s euphoric for me. The actual experience makes me feel like I’m not just on top of a mountain, but on top of the world. ‘Nightrise’ is a step toward living in harmony, all of us, together.”

Photos by @graydio1 (first image) and @toqueandcanoe including photo of @aptnnews reporter @pimenteltamara with music director Anders Hunter.

Many thanks to @rezzidual_individual4life for the interview, to @mountroyalhotel for hosting (we love your pillows and linens) and to @farmandfirebanff for a delicious breakfast.
