This month's journey is about noticing the small things, the details. Even the grandest of expeditions are made up of mere moments – moments of wonder, fear, confusion, joy, frustration, awe spring to life on any good journey.
Spain
We stayed at the Parador del Conde de Gondomar (also known as Parador de Baiona), and explored the wonderful and historic Spanish city of Baiona.
Newsletter
A travel newsletter exploring travel itself. The history, philosophy, poetry, and art of travel.
Poland
Military knights, castle ruins, gothic churches, windmills and gingerbread! Torun, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a great base to explore this part of Poland.
Canada
Kootenay, the quietest of the four Rocky Mountain National Parks, was the perfect place for us to camp, hike and explore. Close to Banff National Park - a 30 minute drive to our campsite, it is easy to explore by foot or by car - we are doing both! History,
Canada
Only an hour away from Banff, a trip to Kootenay National Park is well worth it! Not only do you cross the Great Divide, there is camping, day hikes, lakes, rivers and paint pots.
Spain
We went looking for Celtic fort ruins and we found them! High up on Mount Santa Trega we found a castro made up of oval dwellings. Home to 5,000 inhabitants at its zenith in the 1st century BC. Spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal and the Miño River

A beautiful seaside escape - A Guarda, Spain is one of my favourites.
I had just turned 19 the day before I flew to Moscow. I didn't know what I was getting into exactly, but I knew I wanted to go to Siberia. In the end, I spent 25 days travelling over 1,000 km to explore the epicentre of the infamous Tunguska meteor impact in Siberia, Russia.
One of the mountain castles of León, Cornatel Castle is just far enough off the main tourist route to ensure you will probably have the castle to yourself!
Brendan's day trip to Malbork Castle turned into a great exploration of the rich history and culture of Poland. One of the many must-see places in Poland.
Whenever I get in the car I always have the urge to turn off the main road and take a backroad. Luckily I came across this gem of a castle found in Villanueva de Jamuz!
Smuggler Cove is a gorgeous all-weather anchorage on the south side of the Sechelt Peninsula. To access this park by land - hike a 4 km trail from the parking lot just off Highway 101. Fantastic!
On the Sunshine Coast, just a ferry ride away from bustling Vancouver BC, it is possible to find activities, nature trails and beach time.
Every year Hospital de Orbigo, Spain hosts the Justas Medievales del Paso Honroso. The first weekend in June brings a celebration of medieval artisans, games, food and music celebrating the legend of Don Suero de Quiñones.
Wish you were here! The sunset is spectacular tonight.
El Páramo - a hilly, windswept, barren landscape 30 minutes south of León is where this unique winery is located. We visited in autumn, just as the grapes were being harvested - the perfect time!
Coming in for a landing over the Rocky Mountains and into Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The view from niMu Azotea Restaurant in León! This is a wonderful terrace with a signature cocktail menu!
