Anyone who has been to Cozumel in the last few years will know about “the sailboat” located next to the ferry pier. It is the “Lady Alisha” and was abandoned by it’s Russian owner after it capsized. Every storm brings it a little bit closer to shore. . . . #travel #mexico #cozumel #sailboat #rivieramaya #quintanaroo #caribbean #capsized #exploringtheglobe #beautifulplaces #boat #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Hiking to the top of Crown Mountain was definitely one of the highlights of 2019. It wasn’t an easy hike, as there was a lot of vertical to conquer, but the reward at the top was worth it. . . . #travel #vancouver #crownmountain #northvancouver #northshore #grousemountain #hiking #mountains #views #nature #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #natureisamazing #outdoors #parkscanada #vancouvercanada #dailyviewbc #photography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring I think this is my favourite street art addition from this summer’s Vancouver Mural Fest. Located just off of Main Street, I just love how simple this picture is and much colour this mural brings. I hope it’s here for many years to come. . . . #travel #vancouver #grafitti #streetart #mainstreet #canada #britishcolumbia #vancouverbc #explorebc #streetartchat #dailyviewbc #dailyviewvancouver #beautifulplaces #vanmuralfest #art #mural #exploringtheglobe #beautifuldestinations #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Arriving in Red Square was one of the first “oh wow” moments I experienced while traveling. This picture was taken way back in 2001 (when I was only 19 years old) when a friend and I decided to go to Moscow, Russia. We wanted to see the entombed body of Lenin. This was way off the beaten track as backpacking wasn’t a thing in the country; there were only 4 hostels in Russia at the time. It was a major culture shock, but an experience we will never forget. . . . #travel #throwback #russia #moscow #redsquare #beautifulplaces #2001 #easterneurope #stbasilscathedral #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #travelrussia #throwbackthursday #tbt #offthebeatenpath #traveltribe #city #square #photography #film #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Always take the time to stop and enjoy the flowers. A few months ago I took a trip to Crescent Beach (in White Rock) to go for a walk along the waterfront on a sunny summer day. This was just one of the many great views I discovered. . . . #travel #crescentbeach #vancouver #whiterock #britishcolumbia #southsurrey #explorebc #views #nature #flowers #beach #natureisamazing #dailyviewbc #imagesofcanada #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring This is the view from Plain of Six Glaciers, at Lake Louise. It is definitely one of the most beautiful places that we’ve ever been to. We had the place to ourselves and we were probably the last hiking group of the day since we didn’t run into anyone on the way back down the hill. We got as far as we could get to, we felt like we almost touched the glaciers. That little blue point in the background is Lake Louise, it seems so small and so far away, this view was a good pay off the effort! . . . #tbt #2013trip #plainofsixglaciers #albertacanada #canada #rockiemountains #glaciers #outdoors #summit #hikes #beautifulhike #mountains #lakelouise #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring #travelphotography #wishiwashere #travelgram #picoftheday While visiting Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City, we were looking through the different rooms of the Castle, which remain intact with the same furniture they had when former Leaders of Mexico lived here. The whole place is luxurious and ostentatious. We couldn’t help but taking a self portrait lookin at our reflection in a mirror rather than taking a selfie... . . . #selfportrait #luxury #ostentatious #chapultepec #castillo #museum #travel #notselfie #mirror #reflection #funpics #door #findus #photography #photooftheday #mexicocity #letsgoadventuring #travelaroundthegalaxy #mexico Behind the scenes of that perfect shot. “Hey let’s go get s drink at that rooftop patio, I bet we can get a good shot” When the waiter goes downstairs, we start climbing on furniture. In case you were wondering, the shot turned out Great. . . . #travel #mexico #photography #bernal #photographers #penadebernal #queretaro #vivemexico #travelmexico #adventure #theperfectshot #trsveltribe #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring A good place to find a good view of the Mexico City skyline is from Chapultepec Castle. The skyline just goes on forever and ever! It’s so big! . . . #travel #mexicocity #cdmx #mexico #vivemexico #castillo #castle #chapultepec #castillodechapultepec #chapultepeccastle #views #city #skyline #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring One thing we miss about summer is hiking. Finding the perfect trail is key; finding ones that lead to incredible views like this - overlooking the Howe Sound - make all the effort worth it. This is St Marks Summit, located in Cypress Provincial Park. . . . #travel #vancouver #throwback #hiking #views #canada #stmarkssummit #britishcolumbia #explorebc #parkscanada #cypress #cypressprovincialpark #provincialpark #dailyviewbc #exploringtheglobe #beautifulplaces #nature #natureisamazing #photography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Just about a year ago, we visited the incredible Mayan Ruins at Ek Balem, just north of Valladolid, on the Yucatán Península. We should probably start planning our next ruins trip soon... . . . #travel #mexico #yucatan #mayanruins #ekbalam #mayan #ruins #vivemexico #yucatanpeninsula #valladolid #valladolidyucatan #history #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoaeventuring Remember the summer?? It’s Sunday, so we thought it would be a nice time to share something for #sundaysunsets. This sunset shot was taken at Crescent Beach in White Rock (just south of Vancouver) during the summer, and we it caught at the perfect moment when the birds began to take flight. . . . #travel #vancouver #whiterock #sunset #canada #britishcolumbia #ohcanada #explorebc #sunsets #dailyviewbc #livelovecanada #exploringtheglobe #beautifulplaces #birds #nature #boundarybay #crescentbeach #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #teaveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
