I was so impressed with the experience, and in absolute awe of the beauty. Expect a full write up very soon on Modern Nan! 😊 • Image description: several white houses with the red roofs Battle Harbour is known for are nestled among green hills in the golden hour light of sunset • #BattleHarbour #NewfoundlandAndLabrador #VisitNewfoundlandAndLabrador #VisitNewfoundlandLabrador #TravelWriters #TheGlobeWanderers #FemaleTravelBloggers #FemaleTravelWriter #Passportable #TravelDreamSeekers #TravelTagged #TravelWriting #TravelWritersOfInstagram #ImagesOfCanada #EnjoyCanada #ModernNan #DiscoverUnder2K #CanadianBlogger #CanadianBloggers #BloggersOfCanada #BloggersUnder5K #NewfoundlandBlogger #SmallBlogger
I haven't been very active on Instagram for a whil I haven't been very active on Instagram for a while, and here is the reason: Mabel, our foster dog! Some people may have seen her in my stories, but for those who haven't, she's a rescue from China who has spent the past 6ish months unlearning her fear and opening up to people. We've worked hard to help her feel safe and loved. ❤️ Many have asked why she isn't a foster fail, and the answer is mainly Smudge. She was here first, and they're not each other's biggest fans. I really want to find Mabel her perfect forever home, which is why I'm posting her here. Maybe someone who follows me, or someone you know, is looking to add a furry family member. Mabel is dog friendly and cat-indifferent if they don't care about her. She loves walks and @eastcoasttrail hikes, but is super chill at home. She has the softest ears, but you may have to earn her trust before you can feel them. She's smaller than she looks in photos, and has the most adorable happy face. I love her so much, and desperately want to find someone who loves her too. Feel free to share Mabel with anyone who may be interested, and send me a message for more information. I'm happy to answer any questions xo • Amanda (Ps I'll get back to travel photos soon 😂) ____ #StJohns #Newfoundland #NewfoundlandBuzz #NewfoundlandAndLabrador #SPCAStJohns #RescueNL #ChancesBridgeToHomeRescue #HeavenlyCreaturesNL #StJohnsNL #StJohnsNewfoundland
Listen, I'm no videographer. But I'm sitting here Listen, I'm no videographer. But I'm sitting here on this grey day, dreaming of the sunny afternoon I spent watching whales play with @BonavistaBoat and I thought I'd share some memories with you. I'm already looking forward to seeing whales again next summer! ____ #WhaleWatchingTour #WatchingWhales #HumpbackWhales #ModernNan #BloggersUnder2K #CanadianBloggers #BloggersOfCanada #BloggersUnder5K #NewfoundlandBlogger #SmallBlogger #TravelWriters #TheGlobeWanderers #FemaleTravelBloggers #FemaleTravelWriter #Passportable #TravelDreamSeekers #TravelTagged #TravelWriting #TravelWritersOfInstagram #ImagesOfCanada #EnjoyCanada #NewfoundlandLabrador #NewfoundlandAndLabrador #NLTourism #ExploreNL #TouristAtHome #AtlanticCanada #SheTravelz #WanderTheWorld #NewfoundlandBuzz
Liam called this a lighthouse for the huldufólk. Liam called this a lighthouse for the huldufólk. I guess because our Newfoundland fairies are mostly found in the woods. 🧚‍♀️ ID/ a tiny island with a tiny white and red lighthouse sits on the ocean, just off the shore. Behind the island, a single red house sits close to the water, among the green and orange trees.

That feeling when you're living in a trad music vi That feeling when you're living in a trad music video. Should it be The Rankin Family? Lorena Mckennitt? Celtic Woman? What music do you hear behind this picture? (Shawl is knit by me using the Taha Moana shawl pattern from @arohaknits) ID/ Amanda stands near a cliff, side-on to the camera. She's wearing a dress with yellow, blue, purple, pink, and orange stripes. A large, white, knitted shawl with blue, pink, and purple stripes hangs from her shoulders.

Today, Liam and I spent some time at Salmonier Nat Today, Liam and I spent some time at Salmonier Nature Park. While there were lots of animals we didn't get to see (which is often the case with a nature conservatory such as this one), we had a great time and got to see some fabulous creatures. Then we finished off with some classic fries, dressing, and gravy from the diner down the road. Video description: clips from a walk through the Salmonier Nature Park. Scenes include the boardwalk with animal footprints, a bald eagle, a gyrfalcon, geese, a red fox, and an Arctic fox. The video ends with a fork digging into a styrofoam container of fries, dressing, and gravy.
