Why do you travel?

I was recently asked that by one of my podcast guests.

Here’s my why:

About 10 years ago, I lost my dad to lung cancer. My dad loved writing and when he found out he was terminally ill he wrote to me a lot. One of the last things he wrote to me was that one of his biggest takeaways in life was that nobody remembers you for the stuff you have, they remember the memories you create with them.

Since then, I have always lived my life making sure to create memories and have experiences that last forever.

I love to travel because I love making those core memories with my kids!

Well! I thought I’d update my intro since I have been pretty busy with some new projects! (We’ll get to that!)

👋🏻 I’m Chanelle (the obvious mom in the above photo ⬆️).

Beside me is my husband Kevin, my adventure partner.

With us are our two kiddos, Nora who is currently 4 years old and Owen who just turned 2.

We’re a Canadian family currently living in Alberta 🇨🇦

We love traveling and exploring new (and old) places as a family.

Traveling didn’t come easy to us, hotel sleep hasn’t always been easy, airplanes can sometimes get tricky and our kids don’t always love long road trips.

Along the way, we’ve picked up a lot of tips and tricks and we’re sharing them as we go!

Now that we’re more comfortable with exploring as a family, we are always on the hunt for the best options.

I’ve created a community to help each other figure that out!

My facebook group (linked in bio) is all about sharing your recent travel experience to inspire others. It’s also a great place to ask and answer any family travel related questions.

I also started a podcast (you can find the link to it in my bio) where each week I chat in depth with a new guest about their most recent family trip. My goal is to inspire other families to make those core memories just like we are!

I like to end each podcast asking my guests what their dream family vacation would be (if you had all the time and money) so I’m now extending that questions here. I’ll share mine in the comments. ⬇️

The snow has arrived in the mountains and there’s something about snow in Lake Louise before the lake freezes that is absolutely breathtaking! 😍

Today is my birthday! 🥳

Every birthday I look back and think about how different things were 5-10 years ago. I also think about all the advice and chats I would give my 10 year younger self.

So, in honour of my birthday, these are the things I would have told my 21 year old self:

• not everyone is going to like you(and that’s okay!) and other people’s opinion of you is none of your business

• invest in your mental and emotional health

• success is perspective

• real friends bring joy to your life, cheer you on, and never try to tear you down

• don’t get hung up over your dress size

• memories over things, always!

Do any of these resonate with you? What advice would you give your 10 year younger self?

If you’re visiting the Ottawa area in the summer is a must visit!

They have water slides for all ages, a lazy river, an awesome toddler section, and a huge wave pool!

Nora went through the lazy river at least 25 times (and it’s quite long!), Owen loved going down the toddler slides by himself and everyone loved foam party!

Honestly though, I was little bummed that we didn’t take our GoPro on this trip because this water park is worth the check out and I missed out on filing you guys in on its awesomeness. So check out their page and let me know what you honestly think!

If you’re visiting the Canmore area without kids (or with a sitter), I HIGHLY recommend checking out 🌊

Last weekend, I went on a mom’s getaway weekend with one of my best friends. Neither of us have been white water rafting, so we decided to check it out and I’m so glad we did!

We started the day meeting at their office in where we got into our wetsuits. Afterward, everyone loaded onto the bus that brought us to the Bow River. Once we got to the river, we had our safety talk and truthfully it made me a little nervous and I thought about how I could chicken out 🤣.

Once we got on the river, I realized it was actually so fun and forgot about being scared. It was the perfect balance of thrill without ever feeling like you’re unsafe. The guides make you feel very safe and they definitely have a lot of experience under their belt.

We then stopped by some rock cliffs where we had the option to cliff jump into the water!! Surprisingly, I actually did it!!

After the cliff jumping, we went back into the raft and further down the river where we eventually met with our bus that picked us up and brought us back to the office.

I’m really looking forward to doing this tour again and already planning out childcare to take Kevin next time! 10/10 recommend!!

Have you ever done whitewater rafting? If not would you?
