10 Ethical & Sustainable Activewear Brands

I have more leggings than I do regular pants I think… Is it because I live in Vancouver or is it because of the fact that I’ve turned into one of those weirdos who loves to break a sweat? Known…

Arctic cozy. Arctic cozy.

I tend to travel solo but I’m never travelling lon I tend to travel solo but I’m never travelling lonely.
 
As someone who doesn’t have a default travel partner, I’ve learned that if I want to see the world, I can’t wait for seven adults to align calendars and budgets. So I book the trip.
 
Going to Peru with @intrepidtravel reminded me why I love small-group adventures. You get the independence of showing up on your own, without having to navigate everything alone. Local leader. Seamless logistics. Built-in community. And that extra layer of safety that, as a woman, I don’t take lightly.
 
Now Intrepid is expanding its Women’s Expeditions with new trips in Peru, Cambodia and Bhutan, all led by local female leaders and designed to support women-owned businesses and break down barriers in tourism.
 
Also: 77% of travellers on these departures join solo.
 
So if you’ve been waiting for the perfect plus one… consider this your sign.
 
Solo doesn’t mean lonely. It means you booked it.

I’m exhausted. I think if I was insecure about som I’m exhausted. I think if I was insecure about something and actively looked for solutions is one thing, being cold pitched an insecurity is another.
I don’t say this lightly, although I do say it oft I don’t say this lightly, although I do say it often: I am so endlessly grateful for this life I’ve been blessed with. Everything I get to experience is beyond my wildest dreams. Every event, PR package, dinner, trip is such a gift. I’ve met so many of my closest friends through this career and that’s easily the best part. I often say I could give it all up tomorrow and still have had experienced more than I ever dreamt of for myself. Like what do you mean, a person who doesn’t know how to ski has managed to find her way to Big White? I’ve also lived in Vancouver for over a decade without ever going to Kelowna because that’s the kind of life I had growing up. Never going anywhere, even if it was only 5 hours away. ❤️❤️❤️ lucky girl syndrome for real
