I N T O T H E W I L D 🌬 I always feel like the May long weekend in Canada is the official start of summer. I spent the weekend in Banff with my cousins, and we had so much fun hiking and exploring the area - seriously the perfect summer kickoff. What did you get up to this weekend?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #femmetravel #traveldreamseekers #lf10k (at Banff, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxtfjWchtTE/?igshid=1eez3n2ngm896

T E A M W O R K 👫 This week has been jam packed and flying by; I don’t know how it’s already Thursday! But I DO know that hubs has been stepping up and jumping through hoops this week to make things happen for Team Henderson - and it feels AWESOME! So even though there was not yet coffee in my cup, this was a very good day. 💙 What’s been the best thing to happen for you this week? 📷: hubs himself, @neil.henderson1 #speechlessplaces #herpnwlife #pnwdiscovered (at Whistler, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxRK146hhEy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y7j32dwlcy4w

W H O O M P 💸 There it is. Or isn’t, as the case may be.⁣ ⁣ Ok so something I didn’t share on my Insta Stories while on my recent trip to London is that I forgot my wallet. In Canada. Yup. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I went to the UK on a week long business trip without cash or credit cards (not my finest moment). But I was super curious to see how far I could get on this social experiment and it was actually pretty liberating. Check out my latest blog post {link in bio} for my top 3 tips.⁣ ⁣ Has anyone done something similar or am I the only dum dum out there? Tell me below! 🙋🏻‍♀️ #shetravels #borntotravel (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwHweq_h5QZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dr3wiqnu1w86

S T E P U P 🏃🏻‍♀️ Any guesses how many steps lead into the iconic Batu Caves? Comment below. 👇🏻⁣ ⁣ I loved the colourful decor inside and out, but equally impressive is the golden Lord Murugan statue, the highest statue in Malaysia. We were only in Kuala Lumpur for 24 hours but this city has so much to see and do we’ll just have to go back! You can read all about our experience - details are now on the blog {link in bio}. ⁣ ⁣ #darlingescapes #sheisnotlost (at Batu Caves) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvwmRvLhKMT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=slnyrjwvncow

S I D E E Y E 👀 Oh I see you lurking over there, Monday. I’m back in Whistler and ready (sorta) for a new week, a new month, and hopefully some routine. I’ve been travelling 5 weeks this year already, can’t believe it! Now that summer seems to be properly on its way I’m super stoked to be spending some time in Whistler. Do you ever crave routine or do you like to always be changing it up? 📷: @maria_boguslav #abmtravelbug #globelletravels (at Whistler, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvuAfmLBUrY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ybccscwatdtz

C O L O U R 🧡 I can’t stop thinking about my trip to Malaysia, and while we were only in Kuala Lumpur for 24 hours, I wanted to share the experience with you guys. I had so many DM’s from people when they saw my Insta stories from INSIDE the Batu Caves - seemed like everyone was as surprised as me!

D R E A M I N G ♥️ Guys, I’ve been dreaming about visits the Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur for YEARS but I actually had no idea what the inside looked like! I could only ever find photos of the colourful steps outside.⁣ ⁣ FYI: Batu Caves is made of limestone that’s over 400 million years old. The caves have a massive vaulted ceiling with several Hindu shrines inside. Oh, and there’s monkeys inside the caves, too! 🐒 ⁣ ⁣ This pic is of one of the shrines inside the cave. Isn’t it stunning? #traveldreamseekers #darlingescapes (at Batu Caves Temple) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvN1ctYhRxy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y1848tg9mfaq

S M O O T H S A I L I N G ⛵️Even though I feel like post-vacation life has kicked my butt this past week, I’m still revelling in my adventures from Malaysia. It was seriously one of my favourite adventures EVER.⁣ ⁣ We set out for a sail down the coast of Malaysia on my parent’s boat. It was amazing just to stop and go swimming wherever we wanted. We decided to drop anchor and spend the night in the amazing little cove. It was incredible to be out there under the stars! The next day we went exploring and found a deserted island with an incredible white sand beach where we spent the afternoon. Swipe to see more photos of “my” island and a map of where we sailed to.⁣ ⁣ What’s your favourite adventure you’ve been on? Tell me below! 👇🏻And have you signed up for my newsletter to get my Malaysia travel guide?

L E A P 💛 I’m not fearless. As much as I like to pretend I am (fake it ‘til you make it, right?) so many things scare the crap out of me. Travelling solo (although I’ve been to 30-some countries by myself), going to events where I know nobody (I was PAINFULLY shy as a kid and sometimes still am), and jumping from high places. But I try to channel it into positive energy, even if it’s just a tickle of fear, and use it to push myself out of my comfort zone. I’ve yet to regret it. ☺️⁣ ⁣ What is your biggest fear? Have you found a way to overcome it?⁣ ⁣ BTW, the first day sailing down the Malaysian coast on my parents boat was AMAZING. Seriously, one of my favourite travel adventures EVER. Can’t wait to share it all with you on my blog (see the link in my bio to sign up for my newsletter). In the meantime, I’ve arrived home in Whistler and am jumping into a new work week. 💕 #sheisnotlost #darlingescapes (at Langkawi Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu37yhKh25h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s7ae03ae0yh8

P E R S E V E R E ✨ “A woman should be two things: who and what she wants”. -Coco Chanel. There is nobody on earth who lives this more authentically than my mother. A life full of hurdles and heartache, from a murdered brother to having to give a baby (me) up for adoption, and everything in between. Yet she persevered. She worked hard, had a successful career, then at the age of 50 decided she wanted to sail around the world. And she (along with my stepdad) have been doing just that for almost 14 years. Never give up. Never. Give. Up. 👊🏻 Happy International Women’s Day! #internationalwomensday #iwd2019 (at Langkawi Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwSQqGBQpb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=58r3a9fb1exc

L U C K Y S E V E N ✨ Sometimes you just need to follow your gut. We were told by numerous locals not to bother going to Seven Wells Waterfalls, that they were dried up. But we persevered, hiked to the top (all 638 steps in 35C heat), and were rewarded with an amazing afternoon of swimming in the pools. Obviously the waterfalls weren’t raging as they normally would be after a lot of rain but it was still a totally fun and super stunning place. I get it though. I equate it to Whistler locals complaining about poor snow while visitors have the best experience of their lives. BTW, Seven Wells Waterfall is so named because seven natural pools have been formed at different levels by water streams that flow down the second highest mountain of Langkawi - Mount Mat Cincang. Have you ever travelled somewhere against the advice you were given? How did it work out? #traveldreamseekers #travelgirlsgo (at Seven Wells Waterfall Langkawi) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buq_tHGB4zK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1edkkwerj38t

S K Y H I G H ☁️ Today was all about adventure in Langkawi. We took the world’s steepest cable car up to the Sky Bridge. The views were incredible! You could see Thailand in the distance! Swipe 👉🏻 to see a time lapse and more photos. Also, this rock formation is estimated to be 550 million years old and essentially where Malaysia was first born. How cool is that? 🤓 #globelletravels #sidewalkerdaily (at Langkawi Sky Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bum1YMlhNAp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3gka9rlhwz1d

T H R O W B A C K 🔙 Not to this awesome travel adventure but to those yoga arms, haha! 💪🏻 I’ve legit been “bulking” and working on strength training with @peaktrainingwhistler and while I’ve never felt stronger (thanks Meaghan) I’m realizing as I’m beach-bound tonight, I probably had one too many fondue dinners in the process. Oops! Too late to worry about that now.⁣ ⁣ I squeezed in one more workout tonight before heading to the airport. I love getting exercise before getting on a long haul flight so I don’t feel as stir crazy. Is that something you factor into your travel plans too? What’s your pre-flight plan? ✈️ #citizenfemme #darlingescapes (at Bali, Indonesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buc-Dr7h7-F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1khafwmfiqlzr

G O W E S T ☀️I can’t believe it’s been over a year since my last trip to Asia but I’m so stoked to be heading to Malaysia in a couple days. This pic was taken at Tirta Empul Temple, ‘holy water spring’, and is considered one of the most holy temples in Bali. It was hands down one of my favourite travel experiences.⁣ ⁣ Have you travelled a lot in Asia? What‘s your favourite part? ⁣ ⁣ #gltlove #darlingescapes (at Bali, Indonesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuXibyCBuBu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q3ajtcahd833

V A C A Y 💕 Finally booked myself a sunny trip - and this is how ready I feel, haha!

H O L I D A Z E 💙 Someone teased me yesterday that my life is their vacation. While I’m obviously not on a permanent holiday, I do get to live and work in an incredible place that some people save their whole lives to visit or can only dream of visiting. It was a refreshing and humbling reminder, and one that I’m grateful for. Now I really need to make more time to get out and play! ⁣ ⁣ I’m curious - what’s something you want to know about living in Whistler? Any weird or wonderful questions keeping you up at night? 😜 I want to hear them!⁣ ⁣ 📷: @julie377 #myunicornlife #choosemountains (at Whistler, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuHIMDZBnsN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pa7ohasafafj
