  • Be prepared to see this down packaway coat layered over and under pretty much everything for the next six months. Every year, I'm enticed by new winter gear when the temperature starts to drop. Shopping is such a big temptation for me and an obstacle to achieving the low-impact minimalist lifestyle I admire, so I’m trying to cut back every season. ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ One reason I love travel and packing is that it forces me to curate my clothing and pick the best items for the job. That's a mindset and approach I want to apply to my entire wardrobe, so I only have useful pieces I love. Sometimes I look at my previous packing lists and think it's kind of boring they often feature the same items. Then I remember that it's actually a sign of success because I'm not buying new stuff all the time! ‍ . . . . . #montreal #capsulewardrobe #packinglight #fallfashion #nomad #travelblogging #glt #gltlove #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #girlsabroad #womenwhotravel #femmetravel #minimalisttravel #minimalistpacking
  • Spent the weekend just outside of Montreal, taking in the best of fall in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. Hiking, breathing in crisp fall air, and even horseback riding are always a nice way to escape from the city. . . . #montreal #magog #horsesofinstagram #passionpassport #nomad #travelblogging #glt #gltlove #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #girlsabroad #womenwhotravel #femmetravel #digitalnomadgirls
  • #fbf to this time last year when I was braving the wobbly Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge in rainy Northern Ireland. That was the last time I just traveled for fun to a location where I had no friends and family ties or purpose other than exploring. I don’t do that very often but to be honest, I almost prefer it that way! I love travel when I have purpose and context or else planning becomes too overwhelming. The choices! The research! What about you? Do you enjoy the planning part of travel? . . . . . . #ireland #northernireland #discovernorthernireland #glt #gltlove #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #girlsabroad #womenwhotravel #femmetravel #traveldreamseekers #travelgirlsgo #explorerbabes #shetravels #travelgram #instatravel #traveldiary #igdiary #mytravelgram #worldtraveler #instago #igtravel #iamatraveler #traveldiaries #digitalnomadgirls
  • I buy all these cool clothes and end up sticking to a uniform anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️. This past month, I’ve been all about the high-waisted Levi’s + black jacket combo. I’m also really into white booties but that’s another story. . . . #montreal #capsulewardrobe #packinglight #fallfashion #nomad #travelblogging #glt #gltlove #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #girlsabroad #womenwhotravel #femmetravel #capsulesuitcase
  • I’m nowhere near an amateur photographer and never really wanted to become one but having this blog has made me start caring about the quality of my photos. I had a Canon DSLR in college when I produced videos for school and television. However, when travelling light, things that medium matter to you are the first to get axed from the packing list, and so I never brought my camera with me! I decided that trading it in for a smaller model that I could throw in a purse or swing over a shoulder was the only way I’d pack it and so far that’s worked really well! I do miss the audio quality of being able to attach an external mic to a DSLR but I’m making due and the portability/quality/price ratio of the Canon PowerShot G7x is hard to argue with.
  • Montreal’s Botanical Gardens is a great place to spend a day, tourist or not. . . . . . #montreal #glt #gltlove #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #girlsabroad #womenwhotravel #femmetravel #traveldreamseekers #travelgirlsgo #explorerbabes #shetravels #travelgram #instatravel #exploreeverything #travelstoke #traveldiary #igdiary #mytravelgram #worldtraveler #instago #igtravel #neverstopexploring #passionpassport #wanderlust #iamatraveler #traveldiaries #digitalnomadgirls
  • View from Crossroads in Kansas City, Missouri ❤️ Back from a little stint in the US which I ended with some family time in KCMO. As I described to a friend over text, I love Montreal’s artsy and edgy pulse but KC has this friendly “anything is possible” hipster vibe that is so happy and pleasant. I know that’s a pretty basic description but I am not sure how else to put it. ✌🏻 . . . . . . #nomad #travelblogging #glt #gltlove #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #girlsabroad #womenwhotravel #femmetravel #traveldreamseekers #travelgirlsgo #explorerbabes #shetravels #travelgram #instatravel #exploreeverything #travelstoke #igdiary #KCMO #worldtraveler #instago #igtravel #neverstopexploring #passionpassport #wanderlust #iamatraveler #traveldiaries #digitalnomadgirls
  • Soaking up the last days n’ rays of summer in Kansas City. I’m here for another week working from all the amazing coffee shops and rooftops this city has to offer. Kansas City is my home away from home and a great place to count down to fall. When I return to Montreal, I’ll be ready for a new season and a bit of nesting as I say adieu to one of the busiest summers ever. ✰ . . . . . . #KansasCity #kcmo #nomad #travelblogging #glt #gltlove #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #girlsabroad #womenwhotravel #femmetravel #traveldreamseekers #travelgirlsgo #explorerbabes #shetravels #travelgram #instatravel #exploreeverything #travelstoke #traveldiary #igdiary #mytravelgram #instago #igtravel #neverstopexploring #passionpassport #wanderlust #iamatraveler #traveldiaries #digitalnomadgirls
