There hasn't been much jetlag this year. It's tou There hasn't been much jetlag this year. It's  tough being told you can't do the thing you love. But we adapt, change, and find a way to fill that want. Looking in the rearview mirror the worst is behind us. Hang in there, we'll be travelling again sooner than you think. 📸:@beccakicz ❤️✈️ #solong2020 #toronto #yyz #merrychristmas #wellbeok #wheresmypassport

No matter how high you view a rainbow from, it will always form an arc intersecting the earth. Is it any coincidence that angle at which light forms a rainbow through water droplets is 42°? ❤️✈️ #flying #rainbow #ottawa #pilot #ontario  #exploretheworld #globetrotter #adventure  #traveller #wanderer #travelbug #instatravel #traveltheworld  #explore #ontheroad #instapassport #yow #yro #piper #leftseat
This past week I was able to see Canada from a uni This past week I was able to see Canada from a unique perspective. Piloting my new Piper Cherokee Six home allowed me to cover over 3000 km of landscape from Calgary to Toronto. A glimpse of the rockies, the mundane plains of the prairies, and the intimidating rocks of the Canadian shield all from 2.7km (9000 feet) in the air. Thank you to @dbrobert for selling this beauty to me and @flightchops for sharing this amazing learning experience. I can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead (a la @socalflyingmonkey). ❤️✈️#pilot #flying #aircraft #canada #runway #cherokeesix #exploretheworld  #adventure #travelholic  #traveller #wanderlust  #nomadlife #wanderer  #instatravel #traveltheworld  #explore #intheair #instapassport #travelmore #piper

How did it get it's name? Citabria is "airbatic" spelt backwards. Thanks @harvsairinverted and @flightchops for this amazing experience.

Saying goodbye to the summer less traveled. This s Saying goodbye to the summer less traveled. This season has been amazing in Toronto. Especially the weather, which saw me soaking in the sun on a beach at home more so than any other year! Spending time with people who make me happy and meeting new friends was totally unexpected. Who would have thought that a pandemic and the self-isolation would actually bring me closer to those around me?❤️✈️ #beachlife #toronto #beach #bubbles #sand #sun #seetorontonow #discoveron #sunglasses #sunscreen #summer #yyz #canada
This summer has been about connecting to those who This summer has been about connecting to those who I hold special. Spending that quality time at home or outdoors with my 'social bubble' has reminded me how important  friends are. I miss traveling and experiencing new challenges while on the road. I can wait though. Staying home and building new friendships is totally worth being grounded. ❤️✈️ #thailand #elephant #reachout #bkk #exploretheworld #globetrotter #adventure #travelholic #nomad #traveller #wanderlust #travelblogger #nomadlife #wanderer #travelbug #instatravel #traveltheworld  #explore #ontheroad #instapassport #travelmore
