As the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, the fall equinox is the perfect time to pause and plan your next getaway. Whether you’re chasing golden leaves, cozy towns, or new cultural experiences, autumn offers a sweet spot for travel: fewer crowds, comfortable temperatures, and landscapes painted in warm colours. 

Recently, I was part of a four-person team who travelled to Baffin Island, a remote part of Arctic Canada, for a sea kayaking and rock climbing expedition. The four of us are all passionate and committed rock climbers and outdoors people.

Whether you’re a seasoned scuba diving veteran or just a casual scuba enthusiast, exploring the world’s oceans can give you a brand new perspective on your destination.

Surfing is one of those activities in which the picture-perfect backdrop of nature actively participates in the experience as much as you do; it’s no wonder why so many people are drawn to the sport. But as easy as some people make it look, surfing is not without its risks.

Camping has always been something that I felt was good for my body and soul. Travel and life outdoors are how the human species began, and our need to connect to our land is something I found to be universal throughout my travels.

RVing is the ultimate way to enjoy laid-back travel. Not only are you free to explore the open road, but you can also bring home comforts, including your canine best friend! Proper planning is essential when RVing with your dog.

Canada is blessed with some of the best ski and snowboard resorts in the world, but sometimes it’s fun to venture outside of your own backyard. I recently had the chance to spend a few days in Park City, Utah, a quaint town that borders the expansive Wasatch mountain range and features world-renowned ski resorts.

Good news! You’ve booked yourself a mountain trip. Your next question is likely going to be, “what should I pack?” The not-so-good news is that you essentially need to pack for 2 vacations: both for on-slope and off-slope.
