As we get ready to bid farewell to 2013, I look back at the past 12 months and realize that it was exceptional after all!  It brought very pleasant surprises and certainly topped the previous year!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the source for the many unexpected blessings that were showered upon me, for all the opportunities that I was given and for the amazing people I had the privilege of meeting along the way. They believed in me and gave me a chance to grow and become a better person as well as a professional. That truly meant the world to me.

There were also some special persons who were there for me when I needed it the most, especially while I was at my family member’s side at the hospital a few days ago (you know who you are). Your kind words of encouragement and well wishes were felt oceans apart and I found strength! One thing is definitely for sure, you can count on me whenever you need me!

They say that things happen for a reason and what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger right? Now I’m very happy to report that things are looking good for 2014 😉

Overall I was able to capture many, many happy moments during all four seasons and I would like to share with you some of the highlights through some of my Instagram photos.

Ready? Let’s go!

2013 started off on the right foot

Winter was quite an adventure

Spring came as a relief and put a big smile on our faces

At the end of April and beginning of May I was invited to discover Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf Islands in Southwest Florida.

In late May-Early June, I headed to Toronto, Ontario to attend the biggest travel blogger conference, TBEX. It was so much fun and got to meet several colleagues as well as new ones!

A few days later I left for Kingston, Ontario.

Then the best surprise of the year and opportunity of a lifetime came knocking at my door. It was just too good and couldn’t say no!

In late June – Early July, I was selected by Finnair as a Quality Hunter (among the members of our great community), crossed the ocean and arrived in Helsinki, Finland to participate in a workshop to improve air travel!

Great things come to those who wait right? 😉

I got the chance to fly with one of the best airlines in the world!

I also witnessed something amazing, seeing this part of the world en route!

There’s nothing better than spending the summer right at home in Quebec!

Road trips during La belle saison (the beautiful season) are one of my favorite things in life! I love driving to gorgeous and peaceful locations such as:

or

The city comes alive and everyone is out

Fall is a magical season full of bright and vibrant colors

*Update* Statigram finally sent me a short video of my most popular photos and here it is 🙂

 

Now ending the year surrounded by my family and loved one is the best present I could ask for! I am very grateful for every single experience and I would not change a thing!

Now we look forward and welcome 2014 with great enthusiasm!

I guess there is just one thing left to say (and great words of wisdom)

Thank you so much for your continuous support. I hope I can keep you entertained and help you in any way I possibly can.

May all your dreams, desires and wishes come true.

ASK, BELIEVE AND RECEIVE!

Have an amazing year and happy travels!

Lots of love always,

*Hugs*
