WEEKEND GUIDE: GALIANO ISLAND, BC

, , ,

Next on our quest to visit all of BC’s Southern Gulf Islands, we travelled to Galiano Island for two nights in October 2021. This was our first overnight trip with our baby girl (she was eight months old at the time). We were so excited, and a little nervous, to travel with a baby. Luckily, the trip was easy enough logistically that we minimized a lot of first-time parent stress, and it helped that our daughter LOVED every minute of it.

WEEKEND GUIDE: MAYNE ISLAND, BC

, , ,

We had been meaning to explore more of the Southern Gulf Islands and had heard great things about Mayne Island in particular. Last summer, we looked ahead and saw that Canada Day would fall on a Wednesday in 2020, so we planned to take Monday and Tuesday off and make it a 4 night trip for the holiday.

OUR BACKPACK

From hiking in the back-country to traveling overseas, we never leave for our next adventure without packing our backpack with our favorite gear. If you are curious to see what's in our bag and want to know what we use to craft our blog, take a look at the list of equipment  below!

BUDGETING TIPS

Ah, the first step of planning a trip (once you’ve picked the destination, of course). Budgeting for a trip might seem overwhelming and cruel, but going through these simple steps at the start of your trip will set you up for zero financial stress while you’re actually travelling, I promise!

PACKING TIPS

Packing for a trip can be daunting for some, and exciting for others. I fall into the latter category. I love to pack! The challenge of pulling together exactly the right attire for the type of trip I’m going on is a challenge I’m always ready to accept.
