Beautiful British Columbia has so much to offer especially for nature lovers and honestly, we saw this as a theme all across Canada.

When visiting BC, there are amazing hikes, coastline, wineries, cities and parks to enjoy.

The most popular destination in the province, according to TripAdvisor, is Stanley Park!

Enjoy the 400 hectares of amazing landscapes, trails, trees, nature, the famous seawall and wildlife right in the city of Vancouver.

Have you ever visited Stanley Park?

'Discover Canada: Top Tourist Attractions by Province & Territory'

Many of us (in Atlantic Canada anyway) grew up reading Anne of Green Gables.

It was so lovely to visit the real life Green Gables on PEI last year. Of course, no visit is complete without a walk through Haunted Wood Trail and Lover’s Lane.

You should also check out Prince Edward Island National Park for some great views.

Not many Canadians venture up to the territories, but we think they are missing out!

The Yukon is beautiful, known, of course, for the Northern Lights, and stunning natural landscapes.

To see iconic Yukon species, such as moose, elk, arctic fox, and wood bison in large natural landscapes, head to the Yukon Wildlife Preserve!

Thanks to my pal Sandra for these photos - I can’t wait to visit myself in a few months!

Orlando can be a great jumping off points to visit other scenic towns and historic landmarks nearby!

One in particular is St. Augustine just 2 hours north of Orlando!

St. Augustine is historic because it is the oldest European-founded city in North America. It was settled by the Spanish all the way back in 1565, and the Castillo de San Marcos, which is the oldest masonry fort in the United States, is not only still standing, but its something you can actually go in and check out for yourself.

Outside the fort you’ll find tons of unique shops, restaurants and other historic structures, do some whiskey sampling at St. Augustine Distillery and make sure you check out the St. Augustine lighthouse!

'Secrets Playa Mujeres: A Comprehensive Resort Review'

We hope our review of this resort in Mexico was helpful for future travel planning!

Overall the resort was really good! Nothing about it stood out to make it SPECTACULAR or a true 5 star experience but we enjoyed ourselves.

The service was excellent, the food and drinks were good, our room was nice and we had fun, which honestly, is most important.

We feel truly lucky to have been able to go and escape winter for a bit and we are truly grateful every time we get to travel!
