Beyond what you see on the highway

I am the kind of person who has lost count of the amount of times I’ve driven along the 401 between Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and beyond. Don’t get me wrong, I love to drive, but at a certain point you stop seeing the landmarks and the signs on the side of the road. When you think about it, there’s a whole world to explore at the next off ramp or destination, and for the longest time that’s what Bay of Quinte was to me. A sign on the side of the highway. All these years later I’ve come to appreciate that the region is so much more, and if I’m being honest, it’s become one of my favourite places in Ontario.

Until then, I wanted to share ways how you, your family and your boo can #ExploreNiagara from the comfort of your home and support small businesses that need us now more than ever.

Don’t Just Survive Winter, Embrace It!

I’m not one of those people who loves the cold weather. I’d rather be laying on a warm beach or cuddled up under 50 blankets with a hot tea in hand, watching the cold from somewhere indoors. But, I’m also a huge proponent for the fact that if something makes you uncomfortable or pushes you outside of your comfort zone, that you should explore why you feel that way. And if you’re so inclined to decide to push through it, you can usually come out on the other side with a broader perspective of some of the wonderful facets of who you truly are.
