Today I’m writing about the adventures I had in Rome this past summer. 🇮🇹 View from inside the magnificent Colosseum! The moments I spent inside took my breath away. . . It’s a chilly Tuesday in Toronto today - I hope it’s warmer where you are. And to my Canadian friends I hope you had a wonderful long weekend. 🇨🇦 . . . . . #BeIntrepid #Rome #Italy #Colosseum #RomeItaly #Vegano #Vegana #TravelWriter #vegansofinstagram #Journalist #BeKind #vegansofig #veganaf #VeganTravel #RoamThePlanet #PassportPassion #Wandergram #TravelWomen #TravelBlogger #Vegan #Blogger #Summertime #TraveltheWorld #TravelPic #goVegan #LiveAuthentic #VeganTravel #Grateful ❤️

My latest travel article is up on Forbes - “Exploring Canada’s Smallest Province in Autumn”. (link in stories) 🇨🇦 It’s about one of my favourite destinations - the glorious Prince Edward Island. Here is a photo I snapped on my last visit of the Confederation Bridge. It links PEI to New Brunswick and is a curved 12.9 km, making it the longest in the world crossing ice-covered water in winter. It opened in May 1997 and cost a mere $840 million dollars. When it first opened tourism spiked 63% and over one million visitors went to PEI that year. We didn’t cross it, but admired it from the PEI side. 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 Have you ever visited Canada? What did you like the most? . . . . . . #ExplorePEI #PrinceEdwardIsland #Bridge #confederationbridge #ExploreCanada #Canada #Travel #naturephotography #vegansofig #travelblogger #vegansofinstagram #KindTravel #FamilyTravel #Summer #HumaneTravel #Explore #Adventure #seetheworld #TorontoWriter #Wonderful_Places #VeganTravel #BeKind #VeganLife #GoVegan #vegansofinstagram #IamATraveler #femaleTravelBloggers #LiveAuthentic #Grateful ❤️

While visiting my friend in Florida this past weekend we took her adorable rescue dog Olive to Bark Beach! This incredible dog beach is what dreams are made of and more!! I literally couldn’t stop smiling. 😁 🐕 🌊 🐕 Noah and I are still discussing adopting a dog and waiting for the right one to come along. (Must get along with our rescue kitty!) 😸 . . . . It’s so important to adopt a pet instead of shopping for one at a pet store or breeder. (Every time someone buys a pet this way a shelter pet dies). Sadly, Breeders care about money - not saving lives. It is actually illegal now to sell a breeder dog at a pet store in Toronto and many other cities. Change is coming! Check out shelters, humane societies or Petsmart adoption days in your neighbourhood for adoptable dogs and cats! . . Have you adopted any animals and saved a life? Do you want to? .

Summer is not technically over yet, although the leaves are now changing colour and it’s getting chillier at night. Not to mention school and hockey routines have started for us in Toronto - but I am still dreaming of the fun we had in Myrtle Beach last month. It’s still perfect weather there and the ocean is waiting for you if you want to sneak off for a long weekend. 🌊 🌊 🌊 You can read all about the water activities we loved so much in my latest Forbes article.

So I went to Rome this summer and although I did a ton of IG stories this is the first Rome photo I’m posting. I didn’t know what this striking marble building was when I got there, but later found out it is the National Monument built in honour of the first king, Victor Emmanuel II. It is referred to as Altar of the Fatherland and pretty much took my breath away. 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 . . In other news I hear running shoes and dresses are making a comeback. 😂😂 . In my defence, I walked for 7 hours straight and it was over 40 degrees C - so this outfit was perfect. . . Have you ever toured a new city alone? How was it? . . . . . #BeIntrepid #Rome #Italy #AltaroftheFatherland #Piazzavenezia #RomeItaly #Vegano #Vegana #TravelWriter #vegansofinstagram #Journalist #BeKind #vegansofig #veganaf #VeganTravel #RoamThePlanet #PassportPassion #Wandergram #TravelWomen #TravelBlogger #Vegan #Blogger #Summertime #TraveltheWorld #TravelPic #goVegan #LiveAuthentic #VeganTravel #Grateful ❤️

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting up with some super inspiring animal rights friends at St. George Subway Station in Toronto. There is an ad campaign here right now with powerful murals on the walls that tell the truth about how animals are exploited. The BeFairBeVegan campaign depicts animals that are being abused by humans. Bears at the zoo; chickens stuck in the food chain before being killed; a sad mamma cow yearning for her baby calf; pigs before slaughter; sheep wanting to live, and many others. The words SENTIENT are above as people walk towards the stairs. ❤️ ❤️ Famous and compassionate actor and vegan warrior Joaquin Phoenix met up with us for a tour of these black and white murals. He looked at the images with us and by the end of the day almost every media outlet in town had picked up the story. 🐥 🐷 🐮 Joaquin definitely helped this subway display get some traction as my entire Facebook feed was taken over with images of him last night. Not such a bad thing actually! He’s in Toronto for #TIFF and we are lucky he took time out of his busy schedule to help raise awareness for animals. 💙 💙 If you are in Toronto come check out the these passionate animal rights posters - they are also in transit shelters, on streetcars and bus murals. 🌱 . .
