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.

What would your #VisitLondon guide include?
Love that a visit to downtown #Oslo brings with it a culture of art, peace, sauna, and history - all within a short walk.
The best kind of Saturday night! A #sunset #paddle with my #cat in the beautifully tranquil setting that is #Pukaskwa National Park! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLc0Aoj2zO0

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.
Working on building some #TravelCanada Directories on #Roamancing to make it easier to navigate where to stay on your #CanadianVacation, beginning with #YarmouthNS and the Acadian Shores.

We explore the shadows of #CanadianHistory in Jacqueline Louie's 1st #Roamancing article and the Chinese Canadian Museum's inaugural exhibition in #Vancouver, BC. The #PaperTrail shares the stories of #ChineseCanadians from the #ChineseExclusionAct where Jacqueline discovers her own family's history.
So very proud of Liz Campbell! Her first #Roamancing #travel tale about the amazing #murals in her #Toronto neighbourhood of Islington won Silver at #SATW Canadian Chapter Awards. Well done, Liz! It's a great story!

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.
