The Grand Canyon as seen from 9,500 feet above sea The Grand Canyon as seen from 9,500 feet above sea level in February. It was formed over hundreds of millions of years by the Colorado River. Yet it only took me about an hour to fly over the Canyon in Plane Jane. ❤️✈️ #grandcanyon #flying #arizona #aviation #exploretheworld #globetrotter #adventure #traveller #wanderlust #nomadlife #wanderer  #traveltheworld #explore #intheair #instapassport #travelmore

Train hoppers are turned a blind eye in Mauritania Train hoppers are turned a blind eye in Mauritania as they travel from Choum to Nouadhibou. Riding the world's longest train was quite a challenge as sand and iron dust covered every part of your body. The 3km train transports $1.3B worth of iron ore per year from the Sahara Desert to the coastal town of Nouadhibou in Mauritania. ❤️✈️ #desert #mauritania #exploretheworld #train #youngpioneertours #desert #africa #trainhopping #globetrotter #adventure #travelholic #nomad #traveller #wanderlust #nomadlife #wanderer #travelbug #instatravel  #explore #ontheroad  #travelmore

Sharing the passion for flying and aviation is a r Sharing the passion for flying and aviation is a responsibility that I feel all pilots should share. I took the opportunity to do so with my friend @cait_abernethy as we headed up to Orillia, Canada (CNJ4) for lunch. Fresh from a recent trip to Costa Rica she exclaimed "I can’t believe I’m on another airplane in less than a week". Her energy and excitement stepping into Plane Jane is #whyifly. ❤️✈️ #exploretheworld  #adventure #travelholic #traveller #wanderlust #canada #ontario #travelbug #instatravel #traveltheworld #cnj4 #flying #aviation #explore #ontheroad #travelmore #pilot #funwithfriends
