  • Aloha from Hawaii’s Big Island. This island represents almost 63% of the state of Hawaii’s total land mass, so there are lots of places to visit. The Mauna Kea Beach Resort is one of our favourite places to stay on the Big Island. While the pool is lovely, the beach is incredible - it’s the best on the Big Island. Click the link in my profile to learn more about the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Have you been to Hawaii’s Big Island? #maunakeamoments #maunakeabeachhotel #hawaii #lppathfinders #FodorsGoList
  • Last week I spent a few days at @TrekTravel ride camp in Solvang, California. Located about an hour from Santa Barbara, Solvang is known for its Danish architecture, bakeries, and wine tasting. The quiet country roads, beautiful bikes, and attentive support from our awesome guides made for a smooth transition from training indoors to riding outside. Hope to see you next February #California! #TrekTravel #TheWorldCalls #trektravelridecamp
  • Bhutan's fabled Tiger's Nest Monastery clings to cliff 3000 feet above the valley floor. At over 10,000 feet above sea level, reaching Tiger's Nest requires a steady two-hour climb before crossing a bridge and ascending stone steps to the ancient monastery. First constructed in 1692 to commemorate a series of events that brought Buddhism to Bhutan, Tiger's Nest is considered to be Bhutan's holiest site. • Our family trek to Tiger's Nest was literally and figuratively one of the highlights of our recent trip to Bhutan. Are you interested in visiting Bhutan and hiking to Tiger's Nest? #Bhutan #Taktshang #monastery #Buddhism #himalayas #mountain #HappinessIsAPlace #Bhutantravel #Bhuddhist

  • G I V I N G We are so grateful to be able to give back this holiday season. Thank you so much @comohotels Uma Paro for your assistance and generosity. Today we visited a remote monastery in Bhutan and helped distribute warm coats, slippers, and cake from Como Uma Paro as well as art supplies, paper, and pencils we brought with us from Canada. #grateful #Bhutan #COMOHotels #COMOUmaParo #buddhism #fullheart #familytravel #luxetravelfamily #paro #monastery #gratitude #travelwithkids #giving #bhutantravel #bhutan_ig #happinessisaplace
  • Have you been to Hong Kong? Whenever we visit Asia, we plan at least five days in Hong Kong, and we always stay at Four Seasons Hong Kong. We call this our 'soft landing' because after a 16-hour time change and 20+ hours of air travel, Four Seasons Hong Kong is the perfect place to regroup. The outdoor pools, convenient location (the airport train transports travellers to the building below the hotel), and world-class service are just a few reasons we always return to this award-winning hotel. #FSHongKong
  • M O U N T A I N S We started 2018 travelling in Ecuador. At over 9000 feet (2700m) in elevation, the capital of Quito is the second highest city in the world. To gain even more altitude, ride the TelefériQo up to 4100m. From here you can look down at Quito stretching along a narrow valley and get a closer look at the snow-capped Andes Mountains. Later this month we are back in the mountains on a different continent. We are going to spend a week exploring the Kingdom of Bhutan located in the Himalaya Mountains. We are staying at two COMO properties- COMO Uma Paro resort & COMO Uma Punakha lodge. From what I’ve read, it’s going to be an unforgettable experience. Have you been to Bhutan?
  • C L O U D F O R E S T S E R I E S In between the morning fog and afternoon showers, mid-day sun shines in Ecuador’s Cloud Forest.
  • C L O U D F O R E S T S E R I E S When it rains in Ecuador's cloud forest, you can count on Mother Nature to provide enormous umbrellas. The Xanthosoma (elephant ear) plant grows massive leaves and is known as the 'poor man's umbrella'. It sure comes in handy during a downpour!
