Single Older Woman – Canada is breathtaking – travelling alone

Feb 13, 2022

Thoughts and ideas fill my head as inspiration for my next post. I hope you will enjoy reading some or all of them.

I hear time and again from writers, bloggers, authors, etc – to be serious about writing, you have to write everyday. It doesn’t matter what you write, JUST WRITE.

Well I’m doing just that… I started this journey in 2016 and I’ve posted 52 entries. I’ve set a new goal for myself – by June, I will have 100 entries posted. Frankly I’m not too sure what I’ll be sharing with you but as long as there is one person out there, reading my blog, I’ll post on my blog. Thank you.

It occurred to me, that as I’ve traveled across Canada, I hadn’t really taken the time to appreciate and marvel at the beauty of our country. In 2017, I spent a lot of time driving while in Manitoba and did not have enough days to really explore the province. In 2018 with my BFF in the passenger seat, she made sure to take lots of pictures. Again, we only had 4 full days and a lot of the time we spent driving. In 2019, lots of driving and solitary time in the SUV while in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Now don’t get me wrong – I have seen some really neat things:
Manitoba – Holland (MB), Riding Mountain National Park, Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Canadian Mint, Selkirk, Gimli, etc.

Nova Scotia – Pier 21, Titanic Exhibit,

New Brunswick – Magnetic Hill, Magnetic Hill Winery, Hopewell Rocks,

PEI – drove across the Confederation Bridge, a walk through Charlottetown,

Saskatchewan – Lake Manitou, Stone Hall Castle ( Regina), the Crooked Bush,

Alberta – Devonshire Beach, West Edmonton Mall.

In the summer of 2021- I drove from Mississauga to Leamington, then north to Goderich, then north to Owen Sound and swam at Sauble Beach. More on this trip to follow.

This summer I have 3 weeks of vacation booked and will be heading back to the East Coast.

I will see more, do more, drive more and take in as many of the sights as is humanly possible, while ensuring I sleep and eat in between…hahahaha..

Stay tuned.

Thank you for reading and for letting me share.
