Don't let smoke and mirrors make it crowded. (Ps. Stay safe out there West Coasters)

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

Reminiscing on icy blue swims in Lac Beauvert surrounded by the jagged Rocky Mountains at The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.

Stick around for a while please, sunshine.

Is there any better feeling than wandering through a vineyard in the Verona region? I don’t think so. Masi Tenuta Canova is just up the hill from the shores of Lake Garda, with sprawling views over the hills of Valpolicella. It’s also here that they age one of my favourite wines introduced to me by my dad who almost exclusively drinks wines from this regiontheir Campofiorin. Does anyone else find it very exciting to happen upon one of your favourite vineyards while travelling? This was one of my favourite nights in Italiaa true must when visiting Lake Garda or Verona . @ Masi Tenuta Canova
