We certainly made up for the lack of travelling the past few years in 2022 😊. Getting engaged in New Zealand, to seeing friends and family after so long in Canada, we can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store for us! Have a Happy New Year 🥳

Just a small recap of some of the amazing places we visited with the fam through the Canadian Rockies this year 😀
Magical moments earlier this year in Canada 🪐

Our Vanlife trip through the South Island of New Zealand took us right through from Queenstown to Lake Tekapo.
A failed trip to Aoraki had us bummed out that we would miss out on this but we did get snowed out one night free camping outside of Twizel.
The morning after this is what we woke up to. Just incredible scenery!

Kia Ora!
An incredible drive right around Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown bay going from Glenorchy road right around to the scenic route towards Milford Sound.
We’ve created some kick ass guides over at chrisandlauratravels.com adventure travel website to help you plan your next trip across the ditch to see this stunning country
It seems only fitting that we ventured into Victoria’s Alpine region in our Alpine Chill Omni-Freeze ZERO ™️ t-shirts from @columbiaaustralia
Blue rings accelerate wicking and absorb moisture to enhance evaporative cooling while lowering the temperature of the fabric.
Perfect for a our alpine hiking trail adventures.
Magic at the top of the Crypt Lake Trail 🗻
If you’re ever in Canada put this baby on your list 🙌🏽
These are the views you’ll find at the top plus an icy cold glacial lake to cool off in 😍

Our Top 5 lakes in all of the Canadian Rockies would have to be in order of:
1) Moraine Lake
2) Peyto Lake
3) Lake Louise
4) Emerald Lake
5) Lake O’hara
We’ve just come back from Canada and seeing everyone’s fall pictures is driving us crazy that we just missed it, what a beautiful time of year.
But let’s face it Canada is incredible anytime of year ❤️🇨🇦
However there’s something really special about Peyto, whether it’s the shimmering blue or how nicely it sits nestled in the trees and the mountains.
We think it looks like a wolf, what do you think? Can you see an animal?

Just a little bit cute 😘
We spent two weeks exploring South Island New Zealand and in that time experienced a mix of hot days, crazy snow fall and wet and windy conditions.
So it was nice to be driving back to Queenstown having attempted to hike Aoraki the day before, passing by beautiful Lake Tekapo and Pukaki.
Unfortunately Lindis pass had closed for a few days due to heavy snowfall so we had to take a 3 hour detour around the east coast to get back home.
Worth it.
Laura and I spent the night camping under the stars in Dinosaur Provinical Park in southern @travelalberta . These hoodoos lie in the Badlands and is the primary fossil site of over 100 species of dinosaurs found in Canada, as well as being one of the biggest collection of dinosaur fossils anywhere on earth.
It was made a UNESCO site in 1979, and is still unique in that no other area of comparable size has produced such abundance of diverse dinosaur records.
Here we camped out under the stars of the Milky Way, hiked the Badlands trail and even took a trip to the royal Tyrrell museum of paleontology.
Staying warm with @zorali
This year, having not seen @laura.maryg family and friends since the beginning of the pandemic - it was about time we flew across the globe to spend nearly 2 months in Edmonton- and boy did summer turn it on!
One week we spent exploring all that southern @travelalberta has to offer, in particular the Badlands in Dinosaur Provincial Park 🦖
2.5 hours east of Calgary you’ll find yourself amongst the hoodoos and rattlesnakes 🐍
Did you know this region of Alberta has one of the highest concentration of dinosaur fossils found anywhere in the world?!
Have you ever heard of this place? The landscape reminds us of something from another planet!
