I’m super stoked to be taking a sabbatical this summer, the highlight being my 5 week trip to Spain, France and Norway! My sister and I had been planning a surprise trip for our mom for years, which unfortunately got cancelled due to ‘rona. I’m so happy to finally be taking this trip together! We’ve never done a girls trip just us three, and with Megan living in Australia, and Izzy in Toronto, it’s not often we can all be together. We’re celebrating Izzy’s birthday in style and she still doesn’t know where we’re going!! We just told her what to pack and will tell her where we’re going once we’re at the airport. For anyone reading this who doesn’t know my mom, she is an incredible person. She goes above and beyond for the people in her life, she’s incredibly kind, thoughtful and just has the biggest heart. Our favourite memories growing up were our family trips. Megan and I wanted to do something really special for her and I cannot wait to spoil her like the queen she is!!!!
After Spain I’m off to Paris to see one of my favourite bands, Bring Me the Horizon. After Paris, I head to Bergen in Norway for a guided kayaking trip through the fjords. Then I’m off to the Lofoten Islands on a solo hiking and kayaking adventure. Each leg of the trip will be wildly different! The solo trip will be something new for me but I really enjoy hiking, kayaking and camping on my own in Vancouver and wanted to take these skills to the next level.
