Congratulations to Liz Campbell for her #NATJA Bronze Award in Historical Travel for her #Roamancing article, 'Lycia, Türkiye – Where the Dead are Always with Us'! Well done, and well deserved! https://roamancing.com/2025/03/lycia-turkiye/

I was encouraged to reflect on #ConsciousTravel today. For me, part of slowing my travels down and being conscious in my travels is in taking the time to really learn about the places I visit. As such, I really enjoyed this article by Liz Campbell, as it does that - helps us to learn about the culture, in this case Japan's culture, and teaches us how to demonstrate our respect for that culture.

It is always fantastic to celebrate being named as the finalists in an award’s program, but so much more so when they are for stories that are important to us as they do good, work towards #DEI, help to share the history of historically marginalised communities & support #Indigenous futures. Those are the stories that we are celebrating as finalists in the 2024 TMAC Awards & the stories that #Roamancing was designed for - stories of hope to make the world a better place.

Our newest Roamancer Diana Ballon has me dreaming of #Grenada. I suspect that many of us could use a #PureGrenada #Wellness retreat at present.

One of our goals in #Roamancing, is helping to preserve, share and revitalise #indigenous cultural knowledge, languages and stories, so we were pleased to invite a new-to-us writer, Katerina Mukhina, in sharing Norik's story.
Norik is a #Kereks fisherman in the village of Meynypilgyn on the Bering Sea, working to keep the indigenous Kereks culture alive, along with Kereks traditions, as he honours the spirits of his Kereks ancestors.

Been enjoying learning about Heimaey, a beautiful and fascinating island off of #Iceland in this #Roamancing article of Anne Webster’s. https://roamancing.com/2023/11/icelandic-island-of-heimaey/
As I read, I discover the sport of #Sprangan, learn of the yearly rescue of the #pufflings, and discover how the people of Heimaey ingenious saved part of the town of #Vestmannaeyjabær and the harbour from the 1973 #VolcanicEruption of Eldfell.

Enjoyed editing this #Roamancing article of Pamela Pascal's on the history of Alcatraz Island. I did not know about its history in the struggle for Indigenous rights. It's an interesting read.

I thought they were having a bit of fun, and pulling my leg when they asked me if I wanted a #VinegarJamPie at Dorman Roberts Value Grocer in #TritonNL, especially as they described the ‘#Newfoundland Vinegar Plant’. But then they emerge from the kitchen with a steaming hot #pie, and it was so good that I bought more!

Been having #fun doing a little #WorldSchooling / #AdventureSchooling with the young fellow photobombing my selfie at Britannia Mine Museum.

With everything being so costly as of late, @Anne was beyond excited when she discovered that she could #travel around #Maui for free! In fact many people can on Maui buses. You just need to be 55 or older, a medicare cardholder, a student of 24 years or younger, 5 or younger, a person with a disability, or in financial need.
Well designed, Maui!

#ThroughMyLenses it is such a lovely pat on the back, on the storytelling and digital strategy work we do, when we discover one of our stories in the first listing on a search engine search, as the case was today, when typing Leilani Kai Resort into a Google search. Even better when it happens with a place close to our heart, like Leilani Kai Resort is.

Nothing quite like the luck of the Irish or mischievous magic of the leprechauns for a bit of matchmaking!
