Floating Away at Manitou Beach

There’s something special about discovering a place that feels completely different from anywhere else on the Prairies. Nestled among the rolling farmland of central Saskatchewan, Manitou Beach is home to one of Canada’s most unique natural attractions—a mineral-rich lake so buoyant that it’s often compared to the Dead Sea. Looking for a relaxing getaway, Keith and I parked our motorhome for a few days and settled into the laid-back rhythm of this charming lakeside community....

Montenegro completely surprised us.

From the ancient stone streets of Kotor and the peaceful hillsides of Savina Monastery to w**e tasting above the Bay of Kotor and cruising across wild Skadar Lake, this small Balkan country quickly became one of our favourite travel experiences.

What stayed with us most wasn’t just the scenery; it was the feeling of discovering a place where history, culture, mountains, and sea all still blend naturally into everyday life.



Tucked along the Adriatic coast, Montenegro is one of Europe’s youngest countries—yet its story stretches back thousands of years. Gaining independence in 2006, Montenegro is, on paper, just 20 yea…

We finally made it to the Shetland Islands—and it didn’t disappoint 🌊

From the wild cliffs of Sumburgh Head to wandering through 4,000 years of history at Jarlshof, every stop felt like stepping into a story. We followed in the footsteps of Jimmy Perez, found hidden corners, and even had our plans change—leading us to the quiet beauty of Yell.

Shetland isn’t just a place you visit—it’s something you feel.

Some places don’t just offer a view—they tell a story.

Our walk to Loch Skeen began at the mysterious Giant’s Grave and led us past the powerful cascade of Grey Mare’s Tail—through a landscape shaped by glaciers, steeped in legend, and once used as refuge during Scotland’s darkest times.

And just when we thought we’d seen it all… Scotland gave us one last surprise in the form of wild, fast-changing weather on the way down.

It’s places like this that remind us—travel isn’t just about where you go, but what you feel along the way.

Come along for the full journey.

Our walk to Loch Skeen, following the Tail Burn and the cascading Grey Mare’s Tail waterfall near Moffat in Dumfries and Galloway, began at a place that immediately made us pause—the Trail Burn For…
